- what role the cello plays in an emotional narrative and so much more.
Enjoy the video and share it with your fellow composers.
INTERVIEW PART 2
A few days ago we shared an interview we made with Tilman on how to use a cello from a composer’s perspective. The insights he shares in that interview triggered a journey which led us to create a beautiful instrument, with which you can implement the flexibility of a digital tool combined with the emotionality of an instrumentalist’s performance.
In this second part of our interview you’ll learn:
- why sometimes it helps the performance to turn the metronome off
- how an instrumentalist’s performance can help with clients who find it hard to think abstractly
- whether phrase-libraries stifle or promote creativity and why
- for which projects Tilman is personally using the library
- what the next evolutionary step for VST-plu-ins will most likely be
and of course, a lot, lot more. Enjoy! If you missed part 1 of the interview, scroll down to watch it.
