Avec les progrès techniques réalisés dans le monde de l'instrumentation musicale, et notamment avec les synthés, appareils MIDI et autres 'home-studios', il est dorénavant à la portée de tous de disposer d'un véritable orchestre (batterie, basse, guitare, instruments à vent, etc.) chez soi ! Mais encore faut-il savoir aménager, arranger ces différents instruments entre eux afin qu'ensemble, ils produisent de la musique. Le but de cette méthode est donc de vous initier à certaines façons d'arranger votre musique ou même un morceau déjà existant, que vous souhaiteriez adapté 'à votre sauce'. Une fois le style défini (chanson, blues, jazz, rock, latino, variété, etc.), vous aurez à distribuer les rôles de chaque instrument dans l'orchestration choisie, vous étudierez les complémentarités de l'orchestre, le principe des réponses entre instruments, etc... de manière à colorer de façon plus personnelle vos créations. Réaliser une partie de clavier, de guitare, de basse, ajouter une seconde voix au thème principal, élaborer des parties de cuivres, etc... tout cela est abordé dans ce recueil de manière à la fois simple et clair, afin de vous donner une technique correcte d'arrangement. Le CD, quant à lui, sera un support indispensable. Il vous fournira une foultitude d'exemples d'arrangements à 2, 3, 4 voire 5 instruments, vous permettant ainsi d'assimiler plus facilement encore le contenu de cette méthode, ainsi que quelques playbacks pour vous faire la main. / Clavier
