MusicTech May 2018

Imagine some of those iconic cinematic scenes without the music. The scintillating establishing scenes of Blade Runner’s futuristic Los Angeles, Elliot and E.T. soaring past the full moon on their flying bicycle or Luke Skywalker staring up at the twin suns of Tatooine. In our cover feature this month, we present the complete guide to the process from a professional standpoint, with industry advice and even step-by-step guides to try some of the unique creative processes yourself. In addition to our main feature, we also speak with in-demand composer Junkie XL about his work on top-tier blockbusters and commemorate the 20th anniversary of Air’s Moon Safari in this month’s Recording Spotlight. Our expanded tutorial section now (once again!) covers Pro Tools, as well as our usual range of reviews, tips and the second part of our Essential Guide To Plug-In Effects. We hope you enjoy the issue…

Splice Sounds Maaly Raw Official Sound Kit

Jamaal Talib Henry, "Maaly Raw", is a music producer based in Philadelphia. Best known for his work with fellow Philadelphia rap rockstar Lil Uzi Vert, Maaly Raw’s catchy-as-hell tag is like a spark to set off a giant rocket: his production hurls songs forward, their momentum deftly guided by his wickedly weird and winding melodies, and drums that at once skitter across and barrel down your insides. Take, for example, his work across Uzi’s debut album Luv Is Rage 2, on fan-favorite tracks like the brain-rattling “444+222” and the very emotional “Dark Queen." And if you dive a little deeper into his catalog, you’ll discover his drum-heavy, topsy-turvy sound backing songs from today’s biggest acts out of Philly, including Meek Mill, PnB Rock, and the current rising star of the city’s underground, Kur. Maaly Raw's clientele includes Lil Uzi Vert, Dave East, Quavo, The Weeknd, G Herbo, French Montana, Kur, PnB Rock, Rich The Kid, Famous Dex and more.
