The transformative power of orchestration

This piece of music was written by Adam Messaoud and I was hired to give the arrangement a complete makeover. In today's video I show how orchestration has the power to transform a composition.

That was a LOVELY arrangement! Beautifully done; thank you for sharing and discussing it with us. :)

Mattia, once again, thanks so much for this! I’ve learned so much already from this collaboration with you, and now seeing your thought process behind the orchestration in this video has offered me even more incredibly useful feedback. I truly appreciate it. Great work!

I wanted to thank you for the work you always share with us! It's not taken for granted that you teach us so much. I watch your videos daily and learn incredibly from them. Sometimes, I can implement what I've learned, and at other times, it's not easy to achieve skill-wise. It's even more beautiful when I can use your tutorials as a support to help me progress.

Hey Matt, I only want to echo what Viktor said. Thank you for making these videos; they are a tremendous help!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

How to be always interesting with one repetitive theme. That's our goal and not really simple. I noticed you like runs, and adding some woodwinds and strings ostinatos. Thank you for this video Mattia. 😉😍

Wonderful work that shows knowledge and enormous musicality. Congratulations!

Hey, weird question maybe, but would you mind sharing your camera setup? Camera, lens, lighting etc.?

[JonasDenolf]

What glasses are those? Look really good!

Sorry bro, I really like your piece, but it wasn't "TO PICTURE." I started out in music and then moved to film, had deals, made features, etc. The original piece you are reworking might have been perfect for the film, we cannot tell, right? We cannot see the context it was supposed to be heard, right. I might like your piece better, just listening to the music, but might not think it works better for the film "To Picture." Does that make sense?
