Hey there,

I hope you're well.

For the past few weeks, I've been writing an article about tension and energy. It doesn't normally take weeks to write a blog post, but this one is... well it's big.

It's called The Advanced Guide to Tension and Energy in Electronic Music and it covers the following:

• A high-level and low-level explanation of tension
• Viewing tension as pull/push
• What causes tension
• How to add tension to your track during composition and arrangement
• An explanation of energy
• Types of energy
• The value of an energy map
• Energy dynamics: how to create an engaging arrangement

As always, let me know what you think, and have fun producing!

Cheers,
Sam

P.S: I had planned to create an additional PDF version of this article, but given the amount of audio examples and embedded content, it makes it a bit difficult. If there's enough demand I'll try to pull something together

Great article

 

Just bookmarked you site dude. Really good stuff
Only skimmed through the article but looks to be a really good summation of all the info on the net regarding tension and release.
Prob worth a sticky in audiosex acadamy???
maybe submit the article to saint for the sister site as well

 

Actually Sam, it's quite easy to embed audio, video and Flash into PDFs. You have to keep your files-sizes down as your PDF will bloat. Short snippets of a few secs in your document should work nicely.

 

Yeah embedding media into a pdf is pretty straightforward and user friendly ....You also can get all type of interactivity through js scripts...I use it a lot to create multimedia teaching content.


Gonna dive into the article : ) it looks pretty well documented and developed.
