I was asked several times to show you guys how i created my EDM beats, so here's a first high-level introduction to how i approach composing electronic music based on strong musical fundamentals: emotional chords, catchy and simple melodies and effective arrangements relying on intense build ups and drops.

Here's an overview of the video:

0:36 Step #1: Let's start off with 3 or 4 simple chords. The goal is to convey an emotion: hope, anger, love, anything! After we have found a pleasing chord progression, it's time to experiment with different voicings, rhythmic patterns, arpeggios, whatever supports the mood and groove.

3:25 Step #2: Let's use the midi data and have a synth play it. Do not hesitate to separate the frequencies: keep the lower notes and create a bassline, delete the bass and choose a solid polyphonic sound for the main chords, etc. LAYER sounds, create something unique!

5:48 Step #3: The magic and uniqueness of EDM lies in the sequencing with the clever use of build ups followed by drops in a cycle of quiet parts followed by intense parts, but ALWAYS with transitions that will not confuse the listener. It is an art an takes a LOT of practice.

This is a broad subject, and i know you'll have many more questions, but i'm laying the foundation here so we can go forward with more specific tutorials down the road.

In the meantime, create awesome EDM music and share it!

Cheers,

JT
