00:00:15
new year to everyone and may this year be
00:00:18
the most productive in creativity, in
00:00:21
the meantime, welcome to the new video
00:00:23
from the fl studio pro project
00:00:25
and continuing the theme of harmony and melody in
00:00:27
electronic music, I would like to dedicate
00:00:29
this video to a very popular and
00:00:31
easiest way to write the main
00:00:33
melodies, yes, there is something besides the way of
00:00:36
musical dialogue or call-response, this
00:00:38
has taken root especially well in the culture of
00:00:40
trance music, a technique that we will
00:00:42
talk about today is an ostinato, and at the same time I will
00:00:44
touch on the most important topic
00:00:46
when writing a melody and will give a small but
00:00:49
very valuable material for immediate
00:00:51
use and the material will be for the jump,
00:00:54
but more on that a little later, but first we’ll
00:00:56
take a look at the ostinato technique, and so an
00:00:59
ostinato is a constant repetition of a
00:01:01
certain melodic stroke or
00:01:04
its mother’s constant repetition does not
00:01:05
mean that this technique was invented in
00:01:08
order to immerse the audience in a
00:01:10
sound sleep or cause boredom the meaning of the
00:01:12
ostinato is that this short
00:01:14
melodic stroke often remains
00:01:16
unchanged, while its
00:01:18
harmonization and the context of the consonances with
00:01:22
constantly progresses and changes,
00:01:27
and we will try for simplicity in the
00:02:25
and the context sounds really
00:02:26
constantly progresses and changes,
00:02:29
creating something what we
00:02:31
like most in music and who remembers
00:02:33
what I mean is the very contrast of consonances and
00:02:36
non-consonances consonance dissonance the
00:02:43
strongest principle when writing a melody,
00:02:44
as for me, this is a very important technique
00:02:47
from which it is worth starting when
00:02:49
writing a melody and harmonizing with
00:02:51
chords and very many compare the
00:02:53
technique of ostinato with musical hypnosis,
00:02:55
since while our ear
00:02:57
perceives repeating monotonous,
00:02:59
seemingly boring and uncomplicated
00:03:04
secondary harmony is introduced into our ear, which
00:03:07
becomes for us a very fascinating
00:03:08
context for these same strokes, and
00:03:11
also vice versa, it works briefly as a
00:03:13
melody in the context of progressive the
00:03:16
harmonics seem hypnotic, again
00:03:19
thanks to the contrast of the end of us, the dissonance
00:03:21
that there is a constant tension of
00:03:23
dissonances and the resolution of the consonance of, but
00:03:29
here it already depends on what kind of bayonets are in the
00:03:31
melody and how they are harmonized, the
00:03:34
result is a musical and
00:03:36
fascinating story where our
00:03:38
consciousness seems to constantly
00:03:40
resolve something and to get pleasure from it, that’s
00:03:41
the meaning of music, not
00:03:44
just to constantly perceive completely
00:03:46
consonant harmony, but also to move
00:03:48
to consonant intervals through dissonances that are
00:03:51
not consonant with intervals, and the easiest
00:03:53
way and the most popular way
00:03:55
to demonstrate this is traditionally
00:03:57
trance, your adventures with chords of the
00:03:59
suspended varieties, that is, with 2 or
00:04:02
c4 on simple chords
00:04:40
and how can this be applied with the
00:04:44
ostinato technique, it’s very simple just by repeating
00:04:46
again by repeating in the end you will get a
00:04:50
consonance somewhere, somewhere more consonance of
00:04:52
somewhere more dissonances, that is,
00:04:54
steps where more resolution is required,
00:04:56
then let’s look at the resulting
00:05:13
and It follows from here that ostinato strokes
00:05:16
in taxes can also be of different
00:05:18
lengths, absolutely no matter how many bars and
00:05:21
beats it lasts, even if harmonization
00:05:23
comes in this case, this is two bars and
00:05:25
harmonization occurs in steps
00:05:27
lasting a step of two bars
00:05:29
for somewhere it may be a little different
00:05:46
and also the duration of two measures and the
00:05:48
melodic stroke of the
00:05:50
ostinato, but harmonization occurs
00:05:52
much faster than the wall itself,
00:06:01
only here we will be our
00:06:04
human nature, more accurately our ear
00:06:06
will find other laws and principles of
00:06:08
melodic sequences,
00:06:10
perhaps a hint challenge response to challenge response
00:06:18
again repetition of the ostinato is enough
00:06:20
Interesting hunting on such a banal
00:06:22
example of repetition is approximately the same way our
00:06:25
ear perceives melodic fingerpicking and
00:06:27
arpeggios, only here the point is that
00:06:29
often war loops change the context of the
00:06:31
melodies along with the context of harmonization of the
00:06:33
bass line, for example, or auxiliary
00:06:53
therefore this could be said to
00:06:56
be a form of ostinato. - none,
00:06:57
but only within the framework of one stage of
00:07:00
harmonization, indeed, the ostinato
00:07:02
remains unchanged in its principle
00:07:04
for two or more stages of
00:07:07
harmonization minutes, again according to its
00:07:27
note what I said according to my principle since there
00:07:30
cannot be a rule of music, you
00:07:32
can always repeat this a lot once, but
00:07:34
this wall is a technique, a challenge, a response, or
00:07:37
musical dialogue and other principles and
00:07:38
techniques, these are just techniques and techniques
00:07:41
and are given not only to help
00:07:43
you understand the entire large
00:07:45
universe of music and explain what works in it
00:07:47
in most cases and
00:07:49
really works it’s great to always
00:07:52
add a deviation from the rules and
00:07:54
personally introduce your imagination into the same ostinato,
00:07:56
for example, it can’t always go
00:07:58
monotonous and repeat itself, you
00:09:13
can call it an ostinato of power over, and
00:09:16
somewhere else it could be called the principle of an
00:09:18
ostinato, an ostinato answer, and so on, and
00:09:21
you can come up with more like this a lot and a lot
00:09:23
because this is really an endless
00:09:25
study and experiment, for example, a very
00:09:28
interesting point with this form of
00:09:29
ostinato and musical dialogue at once
00:09:43
and I’ll explain why there are two forms at once, again
00:09:47
everything is just an ostinato here is that the
00:09:55
melodic one is melodically it is
00:09:57
the same, absolutely the same but
00:09:59
rhythmically it is different share in the second
00:10:06
measure it is syncopated a little differently
00:10:07
to create contrast for this part
00:10:10
so it can be called a geological
00:10:12
ostinato me rhythmic dialogue call
00:10:15
response the same steps are just
00:10:18
used during different beats and
00:10:23
as always everything that has to do with writing
00:10:26
melodies does not matter
00:10:27
whether it is an ostinato or musical dialogue
00:10:29
all this is connected with intervals
00:10:31
and doing everything here in intervals and which
00:10:33
are considered tension which denouement
00:10:41
which are consonant and which are
00:10:43
dissonant since there are enough
00:10:45
intervals if you count everything then this is the
00:10:47
unison of the minor second major second minor third
00:10:52
major heart quarter diminished
00:10:57
Clinton small sixth large text
00:11:01
small seventh major septima
00:11:03
and finally the octave and this is the material

I have prepared for downloading

for this video using the link right here or
00:11:13
under this video in the description you
00:11:15
will go to the page of our website where the
00:11:17
download link will be available a very
00:11:19
useful table from projects fl studio
00:11:22
tables will give you a complete understanding of
00:11:24
the interaction of all these intervals,
00:11:25
of course, along with their names and
00:11:28
also with a description of each interval using an
00:11:30
example from a note to giving each
00:11:32
existing note of a bacterium and with these
00:11:35
instruments all these principles of writing
00:11:36
melodies and itself the harmony of musical
00:11:39
theory will come to you much easier and more
00:11:41
clearly and that’s all I had
