Excited to share our new soundtrack for "DesiQuest", a collaboration between me and Aalok Mehta. https://lnkd.in/gwwtQDef The show by EffinFunny Productions features an all South-Asian cast and an RPG story inspired by mythology from the Indian subcontinent. The team wanted the soundtrack to feature Indian ragas while being rooted in modern gaming soundtracks. They were interested in both me and Aalok, but neither of us could accomplish the vision alone. They asked us to figure it out together. We found we had complementary skills and musician networks and compatible musical ears. Here's what we found made for a successful collaboration (all happening to start with "cr"): Credit: No matter what, we shared it. Even in day to day emails with production we always made sure to say "We" and "Us". Critique: The hard part was not receiving honest feedback. It was giving it. A creative partner may hold back misgivings out of deference or politeness. If you sense that, draw it out. Crunch Time: When the deadline approaches, load balancing can make you far more efficient. One partner may be burned out on X while the other is burned out on Y. Trade tasks and you're both refreshed. On top of all that, working with a partner is fun. We're thrilled with the outcome, give a listen!   #collaboration #musicproduction #soundtrack #filmmaking #musicsupervision #SouthAsian #Spotify #creativejourney #composers

the music business is (finally) going direct to consumer.

Announced at The Game Awards, "Harmonium The Musical is an upcoming game with d/Deaf representation and accessibility in mind. Developer The Odd Gentlemen worked with writers, designers, artists, and animators from the Deaf community to authentically present Melody’s story." Dec. 8, 2023 This Melody Macato is a 10 year old Filipina-American girl. Melody became Deaf very young, and wants to create music her friends can feel and see. In other words: music accessible to all. The game is set to use sign language and other non-verbal communication in its gameplay mechanics. But rest assured, players do not need to have experience with sign language to be able to play the game. #AccessibilityWins #RemoveTheAsk #AccessibleMusic

New YouTube Video: Finding Relaxation and Eliminating Tension in Octaves and Large Chords In this video, I talk about: - Finding relaxation and eliminating tension in octaves and large chords - Playing just the tops of octaves or chords (and perhaps the bottoms as well) - Playing the tops of the octaves or chords and letting go of the other notes while playing them extremely softly - Making the playing of octaves and chords as similar in feel as possible to the relaxed playing of single notes - Tabletop / piano lid practice utilizing these concepts - Examples of layering these ideas with other ideas from my physical and logical methodologies Full video here: https://lnkd.in/e8pZ_h9b #piano #pianolessons #pianolesson #pianolessonsforadults #pianolessonsonline
