Electronic music creation with Audio Insurgency

Toronto-based virtuoso electronic music duo Audio Insurgency joined us for a second time to talk about their latest projects, including an album of inventive video game music covers.

Audio Insurgency is made up of Alon Rodovinsky and Ivan Popov. The guys previously appeared on Song Talk Radio in early 2016.

Patrick Ballantyne filled in for Bruce for this show. Thanks Patrick!

We talked about:

• song writing vs. music creation
• orchestral-like arrangements
• how you know when your song is done (hint: song structure is the key)
• the roles between Alon as composer and Ivan as producer and sound engineer
• using a melody note outside the chord to open up a section of the song
• ways to come up with your title for an instrumental piece
• whether or not to change your tonal center in a dance song
• The 440Hz vs 432Hz tuning debate
