Spring is here!
For a while now, I’ve wanted to share how I go about analyzing a song, for example, if I want to transcribe it and arrange parts for the band. Today’s glorious weather inspired me to use our tune «Il Fait un Beau Soleil» (It’s a Sunny Day) to illustrate how to map song structure.
No worries, I am not talking music theory or composition how-tos here. I am simply sharing another way to see music.
You can listen to Il Fait un Beau Soleil for free over on our Bandcamp site. If you’re a musician, try playing along for fun.
Enjoy!

This is the beat map, or as I call it, the bones of the tune:
