Reddit mentions of Writing For The Orchestra: An Introduction To Orchestration

Sorry, I don't think I announciated my points clearly enough, I was rushed for time.

Swing is present in multiple genres of music, jazz, blues, future house, electro swing, some forms of electro-house (Madeon uses a ton of swing).

The idea is that by asking for help from a producer in any of these genre's, you would almost be forced to learn swing, which would apply to any kind of deep house you are trying to make.

>Why would you think KOAN Sound took orchestration classes? I've never heard this, do you know the article you read it in?

I'm not sure if they took a class, but if you listen to the album "sanctuary" it follows the rules of orchestrating very very closely. And I don't mean that they play 3rd's and 5th's, every one does that. Orchestration refers to what instruments are playing what notes in each chord, and there is a very specific way in which you do this. For instance, your 1st and 2nd violins will never cross each other, and often won't harmonize with each other, but instead play the same note, in order to make it's presence felt more, when harmonizing with other instruments. Here's a great book I recently read on the concept, if you want to know more

They adhered very well to these principles, and that doesn't come without a whole lot of study, whether they took an actual class or not.

>The famous future house bass, actually was used in detroit techno a long time ago. Right now, it has many names from past to present. "Detroit Techno Bass", "Hollow Bass", "Deep house Bass", "Future House Bass" etc.

I don't listen to that music, or at least I haven't yet, but it makes sense. The infamous future house bass is simply a sine wave being frequency modulated by another sine wave. It's pretty simple to make an easy one, it's getting it to stand out that's a challenge.

Lol funnily enough, I've actually never produced future house. I make almost exclusively bass music, with an occasional trance song here and there. I did see Oliver Heldens last time he was in the states. One of the best shows I've ever been to personally.

My knowledge of how future house works is pretty much only from listening to it, and playing jazz piano for 15 years. I'm sure there's someone on this board that can help more than me. Just keep a look out. Every once in a while, a genius comes out of the woodwork on this subreddit.
