This video was kind of a hodgepodge of several videos in one, but hopefully I was able to blend the ideas together. A ton, and I mean a TON of people requested a video explaining what was going on with my Clarity cover, so I combined that with a video I was working on about general compositional strategies.

The concept is "elemental arranging," which is really a term I made up to describe the process necessary for creating a successful synthesis of "plagarized" musical material.

Hope you guys enjoy!

ELEMENTAL ARRANGING - clarity in orchestration

How do we take atomized elements in music we like, blend them together, and come up with something unique? Is there such thing as true originality?
