The Rareform Rundown #31

Hello Friends,

Nathan here, wow it’s been an action packed time! This week we’re tapping into discussions on the importance of structure when composing for media, new projects our team has been working on, news about YouTube pulling music from popular artists due to licensing disputes, we will also look back at how indie music grew from garage bands to a global movement, and how World War II reshaped music, leaving its mark on everything from classical works to pop songs.

For those who submitted applications for the internship, we’re slowly running through each application as we had wayyyy more applications than we initially intended. It’s awesome to see how much interest there was and it also plants the seed here on how we can provide more value to all of you!

Without further ado, let’s get into it.

New projects + music we are looking for

Discussions inspired by community questions

For all my music makers, this week I chat about the importance (and utility) of song structure, especially in trailer music and production music.

What is a friend's it's your boy, Nate here. Today, we are talking about a topic that for those who do not make music is going to be extremely boring. So you can probably just go ahead and skip this.

Submit Your Questions

Have a topic or question you’d like me to discuss in the future?

If you're wondering why some of your favorite tracks from artists like Adele or Nirvana are missing on YouTube, it's due to a licensing dispute with SESAC, which manages performance rights for many top musicians.

Check our blog for more details:
