Emika: The making of a symphony

Following several albums of acclaimed electronics, Berlin based producer Emika returned to her classical roots to compose a symphony, Melanfonie. In our exclusive documentary, she details the challenges of stepping out of her comfort zone; from conception through crowdfunding, recording and mixing.

After watching this and being really moved, My Auto play pulled up "Max Chapman shares his beat making tips"....which was kind of a contrast to say the least... it goes to show you the world of ideas and art or the debate of what is art is endless . If you are moved in some way, in the end you feel something and thats all that matters. If not then just move on. Don't bash it

Pretty interesting actually. Because! no matter the genre or idiom. This shows you the meaning behind being the producer of a project or composition. It shows the difference between someone composing music and producing it. The time an effort put into making something come to life. Composing and Producing electronic music is way different than putting together something classical or for film. Nice!

Really interesting! But, to whoever edited this: At 23:10 it's almost impossible to hear what she says, since the music totally drowns her out :S

[sampleexamplemusic]

its funny she tiptoed around saying fuck dynamic range in classical. hahahaha i agree, because the way its listened to is not at fault for having a big dynamic range, like listening in a car, i just wish she said fuck it. haha

Lol she is like I want to fly a plane tomorrow by my self and be the pilot at the same time for 400 people from LA to Amsterdam and then having no clue how to fly a plane and always keep asking a experienced pilot how to fly this plane even though I know I'm going to crash in the middle of the way my point is i don't think she had a cue what she was doing and wasted people time by doing this I really thought I was hearing my high school band in the rehearsal room 😂😂😂😂 I'm just been honest I think Hans Zimmer didn't do this overnight it took years of doing the same thing to lead an orchestra

Sounds like a snob. Anyone can learn how to create scores in their bedroom It's called self study.

No near the level of what Anna Meredith has been or is doing.

I had to stop listening the moment she brought up using sibelius for notation.
She’s using logic.
Logic has that function.
You can literally create sheet music in logic.
I was done.
So done.
