Modern scoring very often leaves a gap between triadic harmony and (quasi) aleatoric effects limiting itself in harmonic expression. In this new tutorial series I'll explain the problem and introduce advanced harmonic concepts.

The movie was a big success in Japan, heading for the international screens in the next couple of months.

The sound of the brass section is usually a style defining element of "that film music sound". In this post, I try to shed some light at factors that influence this sound.
