Arranging dubstep for an orchestra

[texarlo]

I am currently trying to put together different medleys of songs that contrast each other and create something different compared to my orchestras traditional classical music. I'm trying to find the PERFECT song to arrange for 5 or 6 parts. Bass of course for the bass instruments for similarity, so on with the violins, violas, cellos. and of course im gna have a percussionist for the clap beat feel.

any recommendations??

Screw dubstep, get them to play this

[texarlo]

hah! thats definitely pretty frickin sweet, but my orchestras not talented enough to play that.. sadly

[cosby]

I'll throw out the first obvious answer: 'Archangel' by Burial with strings replacing the vocal samples.

[SimonSays]

the last bit of shell of light would be sweet

[DJ Crackle]

I'm curious about this. Make sure to get a good recording.

[texarlo]

i definitely will..

im breaking the song up into 4 parts.

Twilight techno-dimrain47 (which you definitely need to listen to, pretty cool) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9pu5-5b ... re=related
mystery dubstep song im still trying to decide haha
let alone on a fucking floaty-(guitar song written by my friend)
free bird (as the finale)

always thought this was perfect for this sort of thing

make sure you listen to it all the way thorugh - just grows and grows

[Shum]

Blue Notez is a tune I've always thought might work in an orchestral setting.

safe man. yeah my mate told me about them a few weeks back. they look talented. am i right in thinking at some live shows they walk towards the crowd?

[dickman69]

or actually any ikonika song

[cakeplz]

i think a lot of the purple tunes would work well since they tend to have the most going on melodically and harmonically

for example, i think an orchestral arrangement of Mad Sax could work beautifully:

EDIT: could someone pm me how to embed yts?

[texarlo]

so im maybe thinking about electric bass action? keep the reggae at the beginning throughout though


or maybe this one with the piano intro..
