How to make WEATHER CHANNEL MUSIC

- Опубликовано: 26 дек 2023
- Hey everyone! In today's video, I dive into the beautiful sounds that the late 80s and 90s brought us. The Weather Channel was always on when I was growing up in the early 2000s and I can definitely say it brings a heavy amount of nostalgia. My Dad and I recently collaborated on a synthy vaporwave-esque track that attempts to bring back that classic sound. I'm almost at 100,000 subscribers and will be releasing a small video with another track I just worked on very soon! Hope you enjoy :)
Disclaimer: TWC was founded in 1982, It was not around during the 70s like I stated in the intro so that's my bad!

also i forgot to mention imagine chilling in your house with smooth jazz playing and ur about to get struck by an ef5 tornado okay BYEEE
lol
that would be hilarious
Normal occurrence
that lowkey goes hard
promise?
you, sir, are incredible. As a music composer myself, I love the passion and the effort you put into this and the fact that it was even collaborated with your father is really wholesome
petition for Frizk to present the weather with this music
it's been hearted!
I would literally help make an app if he wants to
Can't go without crediting Trammell Starks, the original composer for the weatherscan soundtrack. His legacy is greater than just being an influence on vaporwave. When people talk about 21st century smooth jazz, he's one of the big names.
4:25 those arpeggios up top are just 🤌 I love the Weather Channel music, vaporwave, liminal spaces, the jazz cup pattern, Windows 95 etc. It's all just so cozy and you really captured that feeling in this track. Absolutely fire
When you're on the phone with the pharmacy and the robocall tells you to wait for the doctor to pick up
Dude both you and ur dad killed it with this one. I love weather channel music
i can finally start my own weather station without the fear of having no music , thank you!
i asked frizk if i can use this for my own old-school analog tv station and if he answers it's gonna be so perfect
hello from a 48 year-old weather channel music aficionado. You and your Dad did a STELLAR job with this - nicely done!!
I would LOVE a full album. great work explaining the instruments and feel.
MAKE ONE!!
I swear to god, this guy truly had an AMAZING childhood. Thank you so much for making this video tutorial on how to make my favourite type of aesthetical music!
The Rippingtons, Chris Geith, Jeff Lorber. They would all be proud. This sounds the most like the Rippingtons tho for sure. Like a slow version "Moonlighting" or "Open All Night." Great job
Jeff Lorber is so great
The fact that I’ve been struggling on making a weather channel song for our video game that is inspired by 90s vapor wave weather channel songs and you posted this video just when I went searching for tutorials is a Godsend
If you are willing to go a step further, you can collaborate with frizk on the entire game ost and have him in the team.
This is the BEST Vaporwave how-to produce video since FrankJavCee back in 2015, not to mention you are WAY up there in terms of talent! These melodies are so good with the bassline and the guitar... Very well done
frankjavcee tutorials were toptier miss that guy he taught me a lot in terms of utilizing native plugins/navigating menus and such when I was first getting into FL.
Feeeeeelll theee vaporrrrr, beeeeee the vaporrrrr [vaporwavee]
THE WAY YOUR DAD PLAYED THAT SAXAPHONE MAN
I used to be annoyed by this music as a kid, but its reallyyyy growing on me! It's so good and sounds amazing!
I was 20 in 1994, and I had bad anxiety and panic attacks, and I couldn’t sleep at night because of that. So I would stay up all night just watching the weather channel, lol. Here I am at 49, digging this video at midnight and thinking about how good my Yamaha QY70 would work for making this music… everything comes back around :)
Go for it! Would love to listen your weather channel music!
I used to go to sleep to the weather channel as a kid, glad I'm not alone LOL
Lord have mercy, you just teleported me back. I remember hearing this as a little kid, wondering what kind of weirdos the weather channel music was made for. Now it's an entire identity. Absolutely iconic.
this is sick, it would be awesome if you managed to run it through a cassette to give the old compressed low pass sound to complete the whole weather channel package
such an awesome idea
Dude, this slaps!!! This makes me so happy!!!! It reminds me of my childhood when things were great and I was so happy.

The Weather Channel had such amazing music. From about 1996-2002, I watched a LOT of Weather Channel and it was all about the "Local On The 8's" because that's when the music would kick in (weather updates incremented every 8 minutes (i.e. 6:08, 6:16, 6:24, etc) in case no one knows what I am talking about). Their Christmas music was awesome too. I still get their version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer stuck in my head some 30 years later. 😂 That track is super smooth and it's cool you and your dad collab. I collab with my son from time to time as well. 😊
Turned on the Weather Channel back in the 90's for the music when I worked nights and would come home to sleep listing to Weather Channel music.
why are you literally me
The guitar is what makes it. I didn't realize how much the sonic identity of the early 00's weather channel was guitar but that was the bow that tied it all together in the end.
as a future meteorologist, i share your love for A.) weather and B.) TWC music. i would absolutely LOVE an album full of TWC-esque music! :3
As a kid of the 80's and 90's, this and vaporwave is really nostalgic for me. Reminds me of the neon lights at my local mall and my time spent at the arcade. Amazing music my man, keep it up.
Weatherwave type music goes crazy. Nice vid
I never thought i would watch a guy on YT make weather channel music but here we are and i watched the whole thing.
frizk dad for dad of the year
WE ARE MAKING OUT OF THE TV WITH THIS ONE GUY🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
Thank you :)
I'll use this to make an old fake weather report for my ARG
zenology should ABSOLUTELY hit you up LMAO
Vaporwave is my favorite genre and will always be. I didn't grow up when the Local on the 8s segment was as its peak musically (born in 05). However, I do remember a vibe like that between the late 2000s and early 2010s.
WE GOING BACK TO THE 70S WITH THIS!
Can't wait to follow along on bandlab!
bandlab is goated
Bandlab squad for the win 🤝
Im so glad other people are interested in the weather channel. I used to see my family watching it after school, and i began to watch it before I fell asleep from the era of 2003-2014. There's an entire community around the weather channel still going to this day, there's even a discord server too. Some people even own intellistars, which were the computers that took weather data in and created the presentations for Local on the 8s. Everyone once in a while you'll see someone streaming a refurbished weatherstar xl, intellistar, and most commonly intellistar 2s. The theme over the years generally updated as these were changed. The earliest I remember is the weatherstar xl between 2003 and 2005, but some places had it much longer. The intellistar was from 2005-2012, and is the theme I remember the most. The intellistar 2 also had a great theme called azul for a while, from 2013-2015ish. After they updated the theme to Watt is when they took all the good music out, and made local on the 8s every hour instead of every 10 minutes.
If you cant tell, ive been dying to share this information with someone lmao, if you have any questions regarding TWC i probably can answer them
Dude I can’t explain how much of an inspiration you are to me right now
I’m both so happy and jealous of your success and recognition you’re getting you deserve it all man
I’ve been training myself musically classically for years and have always been scared of failure when it comes to digital creation and you’ve been giving myself determination to get on it.
Thank you!
THOSE CHORDS ARE HEAVENLYYYY
I stumbled across this video randomly. I don't know anything about music or the Weather Channel (I'm from the UK) but this music still gave me nostalgia of 90s presenter-less TV. I would love to hear a whole album like this for sure!
I love weather channel music, it shows how the philosophyphy of vaporwave makes it truly calm and relaxing.
Back in the 90s, the Prevue Channel had the same kind of vibes with their music. I'd always zone out while watching the scrolling channel listings on the bottom
Im so damn late to every vid I wanna cry- but this is actually fire, please keep burning my house down with this music
I love this type of stuff. It's nostalgia for a place that doesn't exist. I think that Windows 96 encapsulates the vibe perfectly.
I was at the Atlanta airport for a transfer flight and a lot of the music playing there is chill smooth jazz that's right at home on the Weather Channel! Thank you for this tutorial! And yes, I would love an album of tracks for the Weather Channel
This is the first song in years that actually made me cry. I haven’t really watched a lot of the weather channel when I was younger but instead what did reminded me of my entire childhood, mainly good times that I really miss. I don’t know why I did that but this song is fucking awesome. This is exactly why I like synth songs
wow.. Thank you so much!
@@frizkmusic no problem man your music is fucking good
@@frizkmusicYeah you make really good bangers but they sometimes feel empty...
WELL TIME TO SPAM CHORDS AND SYNTHS
I remember randomly putting on the weather channel something like 7 years ago and being amazed at how good the music was. Awesome tutorial. Also reminds me of how simple it is to make good sounding music if you just start off with a good simple beat and bass line. Then all you need to do is add some simple melodies on top and you're there.
Ngl the idea for weather channel music is THE BOMB you should go for it!!
Bro, first of all, thank you. I genuinely felt like no one else was into smooth jazz, or the music played from the Weather Channel. I listen to it on a daily basis, while everyone around me listens to what is out now in the mainstream. You have not only inspired me, but also changed my perspective on my own life; as in, I normally make hip hop beats (for example, think of Griselda, modern day boom bap), but the fact that after reading the comments and seeing how many people are actually into this genre, makes me want to experiment and make my own smooth jazz kind of music. Once again, thank you man.
I vividly remember the morning weather channel music. My dad would be buttoning his shirt up as I sat there, eyes glued to the screen seeing what sort of weather we're in for.

Glad that I'm not the only one who likes music from weather channels - that specific feel is very nostalgic.
Absolutely nailed it. I can just hear some robotic voice saying "Your local doppler radar." This for sure sounds like old local on the 8's music. I used to love listening to weatherscan music as a kid
please release this as an acrual song/music. ill listen to it all frickin day
This is one of my favorite…genres? To make. 💞
I have no clue who you are but you have a lot of subs so I'll reply because funi
@@therealgigavoltathats indeed quite hilari
You actually seem like an awesome youtuber judging from just titles and thumbnails :D
would love to see an album of this and all the tracks just merge with each other, like two 25-minute dreams
First time I ever heard The Weather Channel was 1987, I was 9/10 at that time. It helped me appreciate jazz a lot then Nintendo games completed that for me. This is very good.
OMG, I love this. I totally used to love that music. You fooled my significant other, who came into the room and said, "Why are you watching the Weather Channel?"
The bass and sax really complete it, and the synths are perfect
The news nears me still does this style of weather channel inserts; though i remembered only seeing it leaving work at 5:30am
Thinking about it, they probably did that when the live broadcast was finished
The Sax work is simply delicious ❤
Remind me of DIF JUZ which is one of my favorites bands.
Dude, i loved the weather channel music from like 2008 to 2010. Used to get stoned with my dad and watch it before school.
the "liminal spaces" thing is so weird and cool. that it is a shared thing. When i was a kid I used to imagine being in my local mall or the Renaissance Center afterhours, with smooth jazz playing over the PA system, no one else there and I would just walk around with most of the lights out and moonlight coming in through the sky lights. I never talked about it with anyone else and then these days that concept is common to see. It's just a common fantasy??? whyyyyy? I love it though, makes it even more surreal and magical that so many people felt that way.
p.s. I also loved the weather channel music. the smooth jazz station in Detroit was V98.7
Dude, you need to make an album of this kinda stuff! It's the perfect easy listening music~ Fantastic work getting the vibes right!
When i was younger i always put something on tv (usually weather forecasts) when i was playing games since i felt alone. So the music most definitely hits home.
Also congrats on whats soon to be 100k!!
Weather channel is its own genre! I remember the wii had a channel, the wavy stings is what defines that feel!!
WE ESCAPING THE RUclips ALGORITHM WITH THIS ONE❤🗣🗣🗣🗣
That's great! I remember recording music clips while they ran "your local forecast" segments. Of course there were vocals over the music. Currently..It's 67 degrees with partly cloudy skies, etc. Some of the music was awesome.
I love the 2010-2015 music, especially the hurricane theme since it feels like I'm the only one who knows the danger and idk it just sounds good
a full album of this sound would be a gift from the heavens
Oh I’d also like to note, it’s sad to see genres dying off that has a special place in my heart. Classic rock, synth wave and that old style lo-go and I mean OLD style like that stuff from the 90s
Just fading away, very slowly
Growing up I thought I’d be picking up a new album from each artist in each genre every single year forever
But then I grew up, I became an adult and I learned very sadly that life isn’t the only thing that fades away. Living things aren’t the only things that die.
Unfortunately this is part of the reason I’ve also discovered that peoples will and passion also die.
It’s depressing. It’s sad. And it really pushes the envelope on the idea that humanity is entering a corporate age. I’d say the time I was born (the 90s) was the true age of freedom and creativity, now we’re headed into the age of automation and monotony.
I was going to nitpick at the beginning about the Seinfeld slap bass since that was actually a keyboard with effects…then I listened to the whole thing. You, Sir, are a genius and nailed it.
This is fantastic! I always loved old weather channel music. It made me recall how the song "Mother's Talk" by Tears For Fears always gave me the feeling of a sinister dark weather channel music sound, so I've always loved that song.
Love these song breakdown vids! Your style is really inspiring honestly
Theres always this calm feeling to these type of songs, and thats what I like about that :]
PLEASE MAKE IT INTO AN ALBUM!!!!1!!1! this would help me focus on my homework and not get distracted
Right now I am into the weather. I got like a weather radar, a weather radio. You should get one if you like weather keeps you track of the weather and it uses satellite imaging So that's why it's very accurate. Okay, love your music All my Fellas
omg eww boykisser yucky (:3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3)
As a weather enthusiast who’s also a music producer this gave me both nostalgia and inspiration :)
i am so obsessed with weather channel music this might just get me to try and make music again
This is absolutely crazy!! Both you and your dad played rlly well!!! I can't wait to hear what you make next!
omg! weather channel vaporwave! at the time when I thought I have heard about every single genre on earth there's still an opportunity to be amazed
Thanks dude, this is sick! I used this tutorial for my own weather channel-type song, one of my friends is doing the visuals!
I Love this! I would love an album
Oh hell yeah man. I'm with you 100%. As someone who loved Weather Channel as a kid in the early 2000s, the music was amazing. Forgot about it for a while, but remembered it when I started listening to vaporwave in 2020 I know, I was mad late to the party) and I heard the samples of familiar songs. And I got to looking up the original songs on twcclassics, discovering just how damn good the music was even before my time in the 80s and early 90s. Now, I've been making compilations of the Weather Channel music by year and have been so inspired to make my own Weather Channel type music. It has caused me to be obsessed with The Rippingtons (one of the more prominent artists that were featured on TWC throughout the years), and I mean obsessed with them. I've also come to realize I'm far from the only one who is nostalgic for classic Weather Channel. They always teased us and said it was boring, but now we all miss it
My mom and I were transfixed by "local on the 8's" and my dad would make fun of us lol. Good memories, early 90's weather channel music.
i’ve never liked a video so fast before in my life. this genre is so niche i often feel like i’m the only one who likes it/attempts to make it. incredible work!
I remember watching the weather channel as a kid. It was channel 27 on my cable system. It was between MTV (Channel 26) and VH1 (Channel 28). Why it was there, I have no idea, but flipping between those two channels, I would always stop at the weather channel for some reason and just end up staying there longer than I would expect.
Watched this video when it was released, found it super cool, noticed you were the guy who made that popular song, got re-recommanded the video where you talk about it, and now i'm just listening to your whole discography on YT. Amazing groove you got there.
It's just so wholesome you have this bond with your dad, I hope me and my future son can make stuff like this
The title caught my interest, the charm of your passion for this kept me for the whole vid.
In 2000 or 2001 I went to the home of the Weather Channel’s music composer to help him with his home stereo. I worked in tech support for a consumer electronics brand.
oh you're not alone buddy. I grew up with the Weather Channel back in the 90s and early 2000s also and I use to watch that just as much as I watched Cartoons. At night or during snow days I would just watch the weather channel all day long. It's as much a part of my Childhood as Nickelodeon and Cartoon was from that era too
Working on my second Vaporwave project and your weather channel music is SO GOOD
OMG! You're killin' me! I actually LOVE this music and have Watercolors on Sirius XM on all the time. Jusf subscribed. I really appreciate this stuff, man!
You've got a bunch of very ancient sounds there. JP packs and the D20 are so awsome.
This is great man, I like how you called out those influences in the middle and I'm really into Lush Crayon, FM Skyline and Saint Pepsi but those others are new to me. Thank you so much for sharing your music and blasting it at the end for us. Vaporwave will never die with you carrying the torch!
Can i just say, you are the best salesman i have come across in years. I want this now.
The drums, bass, and strings took me back to playing Sim City 2000
Duuuuuude! I love this music! So let me tell you my history with TWC music. Not only is it just good music, very relaxing and easy to listen to but I was like 14-15ish and a really shy guy. The internet was in its infancy and things like Yahoo, AIM and other sites had these chat rooms. I used to check out all the different rooms and especially the guitar related rooms where dudes would just be on there shredding and making my tiny little mind explode! Anyhow, I digress, So I was a really shy guy and had a really hard time talking to girls because I had this overbearing fear of rejection. So I took to the chat rooms to meet girls my age and Ill be damned if it didn't work. I was talking to girls like I had nothing to lose..lol. Anyhow, one of the girls I ended up dating on the internet of course...ended up living in Washington State, half a country away from me being just a dumb ol Kentucky boy. Anyhow, I used to watch the weather channel all the time just to keep up with the weather going on around her just to make sure that she was okay....you know...like any caring internet boyfriend would do. In doing so, a lot of this great music got ingrained in my head. I remember hearing "And now your local on the 8's, and Heres your weather on the 10's." I used to fall asleep to this music all the time. Thanks so much for posting this dude. It really brought me back to my childhood.
I would absolutely listen to an hour+ of music like this. I've never experienced the "weather channel music" since I'm from Greece and we didn't really have that, but this type of music just hits different. You did an amazing job!
