Hey everyone. I've been working on an analysis of Max Martin & co's techniques for a long time and figured this community would be interested (I've been lurking on this forum for years!). It's an ebook called "Melodic Math" and goes deep into his 27 Billboard #1 hits.
What it covers:
- How Cheiron legends think about intervals
- The psychology behind memorable hooks
- How rhythmic patterns creates emotional impact
- The philosophies that have allowed these GOAT songwriters/producers to enjoy such longevity
I got obsessed with understanding the actual craft and mentality behind the hits, not just musical analysis. Most songwriting resources are pretty surface level in this regard imo so I'm proud of this work.
Please feel free to check it out and let me know what you think. I'm always down to talk about this stuff with other Max Martin/pop music fans - I hope some of you can get a lot of value from this!
