What comes to mind when you think of an epic song? Is it virtuosic guitar shredding? Ear-piercing vocal performances? Maybe it's simply the sheer length of the track that invokes a certain epic quality. Whatever your criteria, we've got you covered with this episode.

For this episode, Soundfly team member Carter Lee is joined by Soundfly's CEO and Founder, Ian Temple, as well as Soundfly's VP of Curriculum/Composer, Mahea Lee. We dive into everything from what might be the first effective use of a vocoder, to how using masterful orchestration can stretch a single melody to the brink. We also learn a lot about each other and our tastes in music, oh boy...

Themes and Variation is presented by Soundfly, a music education website changing the way we build our creative skills.
