  • Mad Max string theme
    How I did the strings for the Mad Max Furiosa theme. I show you I start with a simple melody on the piano, then harmonize the melody by using my string banks going all the way to an orchestral arrangement. I speak about my thought process behind scenes. Why I make what decisions.

    Ennio Morricone knew how to hit the emotional spots in "Cinema Paradiso" and "The Untouchables" and you definitely hit the emotional spot with Furiosa's theme in "Mad Max: Fury Road". It is very generous of you to create this tutorial series. I've never seen a film composer do a video series like this before. I can see your heart is really into educating, sharing and inspiring artists. I thank you and your team for making this all happen for us to experience.

      Aviad Cohen Interesting that you mention Morricone, given that Fury Road has a clear spaghetti western influence. I always thought some of Morricone's best work was on spaghetti westerns, especially the Dollars Trilogy.

      Aviad Cohen This very much reminds me of The Untouchables, which I haven't seen in years but I can still remember the music from Sean Connery's death scene.

    That said, I've seen Max twice in theaters already. Yours was the first film score in a long time to give me goosebumps, namely this song. I also enjoyed hearing some electronic music type bass with some lfo's modulating them during the canyon scene:) great work sir. I am subscribed and will have my note pad out with every new video you upload!

    I am an aspiring composer myself and honestly I did not even know who was this JUNKIEXL until I saw the movie titled Run All Night where I loved the film music so much that I had to find out who composed it. Now, with Mad Max: Fury Road and this very nice and unique one of a kind tutorial I definitely know who is this JUNKIEXL.
    Fury Road the movie is amazing a masterwork of George Miller coupled with an also amazing film music composition.
    The Furiosa theme is my absolute favourite, peak emotional part of the movie. Indeed it is very very emotional. I could not hold my tears back. It does not only demonstrate Furiosa's painful realisation, but also the frustration of the entire movie that all the running and fighting, all was for nothing. That theme perfectly amplifies the bitter, painful and sorrowful end of all what left to be the last hope for humanity. I truly hope we will never going to have to live, but in fact slowly and painfully die in a post apocalyptic age that this film depicts! I hope that everybody will watch this movie and gets its important message!

    I now know why i liked this movie so much, i was glued to the music and practically watched the whole movie with my eyes closed.
