I'm gonna create now the victory music for the end of the race. Now, for this, I want to create a positive, optimistic mood that suits that victory, and so, the first thing I'm gonna be using is major tonality, I'm trying to use major chords. The second thing I'm gonna do is to create an ascending melody, because ascending melodies often feel hopeful, optimistic, and positive, so those are two key things there, and one thing I'll need to make sure when I'm doing this is that there's some consistency with the sort of sounds and timbres that I'm using, so if I was to all of a sudden switch to some orchestral instruments, it might sound quite jarring to listen to it because most of my competition so far is using synthesizers, so I'm gonna be using some synthesized sounds for mine, but you need to use whatever fits with the sound world, the kind of instruments that you've been using so far so there's a little bit of continuity and consistency. So I'm gonna start by making a new track, and I'm gonna start working out now a chord sequence. Now, I've chosen this synthesizer to use, I quite like this one, it feels quite bright and exciting and sort of optimistic almost, it'll work really well for this mood, and there's a couple ways I can do this chord sequence. Now, because I want to have this sort of major, positive feeling at the end, I could explore some of the chords in D minor and work out one that sounds effective to end on that is a major chord, so the obvious candidate to use would be to finish on an F major chord, 'cause that's a major chord in the key of D minor, so I could do something like this, starting on D minor. (synths playing) That's quite a positive-sounding ending, however, I'm actually. Go to something slightly different, which is something a little bit unusual, which is actually to finish on the chord of D major. Now, obviously, we're in the key of D minor, so D major chord is from a different key, but this technique of finishing on the tonic chord but making it a major version of that chord is quite a common and effective way of creating a really sudden positive feeling and positive mood at the end of a composition. So I'll show you what I mean, I'll have a four-bar chord sequence using some of my D minor chords. (synths playing) So that last chord there is our D major chord, which is, instead of an F in the middle, it's got an F-sharp in the middle, and that creates this sudden positive feeling, so I'm gonna use that, and you might choose for this victory music to end on a D major chord as well, because it's a really positive, suddenly-exciting and hopeful chord. So I'm gonna record in a four-bar sequence, I'm gonna experiment with some different chords, create one that I like, and then, finish on that the D major chord. So I might do, for example, D minor. (synths playing) Something like that, but again, you experiment and see what works for you, I'm gonna record in my sequence. (upbeat electronic music) (upbeat electronic music continues) So what we've got there is we've got a sound, the timbre that sort of suits the other synthesized timbres of my composition, it uses the same key to begin with, so I chose four chords from the D minor key, and it ends on this big, grand D major chord that creates this really positive feeling at the end. I could also add some bass notes to fit with that, so I could do a really simple bass part that fits underneath it, I'll just choose a synth bass for now. (bass synths playing) That'll do, and I'm gonna record in the root note of each of my chords underneath just to give it a little bit more sort of space as a section. (upbeat electronic music) (upbeat electronic music continues) Quantize that as well. And then, the final thing is to create a melody, and as I said, I want an ascending melody to create a feeling of positivity and hope. Now, I need to base my melody notes on these chords, so I'm gonna be looking at the notes of these chords that I've used and trying to match my notes to them, and I'm just gonna create a really simple melody that actually fits the exact same rhythm as those chords, but you could do something a little bit more complicated if you want. I'm gonna try and find a synthesizer that creates a suitable sort of sound, let's see what this sounds like. (synths playing) I'll go for that, and that's quite consistent with some of the sounds I've got in my earlier section as well. (synths playing) Something like that, a really simple ascending melody would fit with my chords. (synths playing) I could elaborate it a little bit with some passing notes like that as well, but something that's ascending and feels hopeful and optimistic, I'm gonna record it. (upbeat electronic music) (upbeat electronic music continues) I'm gonna bring the volume of that one up so I can hear it a bit more, adjust the balance a touch of these different parts, let's hear this new section. (upbeat electronic music) (upbeat electronic music continues).
