when writing music, do you have a favorite emotion to evoke in song? how do you like to evoke it?
hope you feel better soon!
Ooh I love this question. Evoking a sense of awe/wonder is my absolute favorite. How exactly I do this changes a lot depending on what I’m going for specifically, but I’ll usually use at least one of the following:
- Dorian mode
- rich, sweeping synth pads
- interesting string textures
- that thing where I’ll have the music build up really big and then suddenly drop to just solo piano
