Happy Halloween!
As a special treat, we’re excited to share a classic pointblank-style deconstruction of a true timeless hit: Ray Parker Jr.’s ‘Ghostbusters’.
Making music can be terrifying: endless plugins, countless options, and overwhelming influences can make starting a track tough, and finishing one even harder. At pointblank, we believe learning should be hands-on, inspiring, and fun, so that you can build your ideas to fully finished projects.
In this Halloween session, Ski Oakenfull, our Head of Curriculum, breaks down one of popular music’s most iconic compositions. From its distinctive synths and unforgettable hook to its ingenious arrangement and legendary music video, ‘Ghostbusters’ is a masterclass in creativity that stands far beyond the film it was written for
