Corporate Music - How to Compose with no Soul

In this video I explore how corporatism produces soulless music, some of which is amusingly awful! I also explore how tech and oil companies with dubious business practices use music as part of propaganda campaigns to convince the public that they support ecological activism. Along the way, I make all kinds of corporate music of my own to show the different tropes that exist. Some of it is blundering nonsense. Some of it is a little more sinister. All of it is garbage.
