Composer's Compass

🎷 Hey guys 🌙
I’ve been feeling a bit of orchestral-instrument fatigue, so I decided to create something different, something interesting and exciting.
I composed a piece of music in a film noir vibe, using jazzy chords and instruments, as if it were the intro theme of a noir crime film.
I’m thinking about turning this into a video lesson. Would you be interested?

🎵 Hey guys 🎵
I hope you are doing well. I shared a video yesterday, and it seems you don’t really appreciate it. I mean, I get much fewer likes than I normally do, and the watch time is also much worse. So I’m honestly curious: what’s wrong with it?
I just wanted to share a non-orchestral video this time. At the end of the video, I also show how I create certain synth sounds, such as lead and bass synth sounds.
Here’s the video I mentioned:
How I Created This Cinematic Track with Synths and Epic Drums
