🎹 Sheet music transcription: Following the fun of “Barbie Girl in the Style of 6 Classical Composers“ last summer, the series of fugues based on annoying tunes was due for a sequel. This time, the contrapuntal throwback takes us to the '80s with Rick Astley’s hit “Never Gonna Give You Up”—famous in its day and even more popular thanks to Internet meme culture and the “rick-rolling“ frenzy of the early 2000s. I've developed the irritatingly infectious short initial motive of the tune into a 4 voice fugue, showcasing the structure with motion graphics and light-hearted commentary. As for the animations, I have also been experimenting with new callout box styles with running parts of the score—I hope they enhance the visualisation of the music! Also, make sure to check out the behind-the-scenes video that Robin and Isak created for this production to get a glimpse of the creative process we went through: Robin and Isak are currently working on a documentary about my life as a musician, which is part of a captivating series featuring some truly fascinating individuals as well as me. Stay tuned for the full documentary—it’s almost here! Enjoy the video. 😊
