Best of YouTube inspiration

Jacob Collier is for sure one of the most talented and creative young musician and composer of our modern times. His arrangement for Moon River is just out of this world. But I found something even more inspiring : a string orchestra version !

Patrick Watson always have been a inspiration. He represents everything that I love about Montreal. This piece is a hidden gem. I have no idea how they came up with this, but the mix with l’Ensemble d’ondes de Montréal (!!!) is simply beautiful. Definitely will look to incorporate Ondes Martenot sounds in futur works !

The original version of Radiohead’s Weird Fishes / Arpeggi is an actual electronic-orchestral composition by guitarist Jonny Greenwood !

A multi-performers piece on a vibraphone. The bowing technique makes such a beautiful sound. I already used this technique in previous album, but to make a composition using only the instrument is such a good idea !
