In this episode, Alex dives deep into arranging for strings and presents different arrangements based on the melody we provided for our VOStringsComp23 competition!
Alex demonstrates how the string section can be used and orchestrated to create very different musical impressions. And at the end of the video, we announce the winners of our competition!
