Music, time, and timing are mysteriously intertwined. In this episode, Alex sheds some light on the connection between the speed at which a musical piece is performed and the emotions this conveys. After examining this concept in Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” and Debussy’s “Claire de Lune”, Alex returns to his DAW to record a short guitar pattern. He shows why it makes sense to record on the grid at a fixed tempo, even if the notes you play don’t always land perfectly on the grid.


Virtual Orchestration is a collaboration between Berklee College of Music (Boston, USA) and Orchestral Tools (Berlin, Germany).


The interpretation and the recording of Claude Debussy's "Claire de Lune" is by Simone Renzi.
