This is a really cool film music tutorial for all you self-taught keyboardistas. You don't need to be able to read, but it helps if you can count to eleven.

There's a great followup lesson, too if you let it autoplay.

I started watching this and immediately bristled at the simplistic, almost sarcastic tone he seemed to be taking. But once I got over myself, I found this to be super interesting!
Funnily enough, the non-theoretical explanations bent my brain a little, so I've "translated" his concept to Roman numeral progressions below.
- I - II: Protagonism
- I - #IV: Outerspace
- I - bVI: Fantasical
- I - iii: Sadness, loss
- I - iv: Romantic, Middle Eastern
- i - IV: Wonder, transcendence (also I - v)
- i - II: Muster or dark comedy
- i - VII: Dramatic sound popular in early 21st C
- i - #iv: Antagonism, danger (less character-based)
- i - bvi: Antagonism, evil (more character-based)
I am all for any concept or technique that can help spur creativity! Thanks for posting!
