0:00:06 > 0:00:09Music's always changing, evolving, you can't stop it.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11And why would you want to?

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Orchestral music's always on the move -

0:00:13 > 0:00:16that's thanks to lots of great new composers.

0:00:17 > 0:00:18By the look of this,

0:00:18 > 0:00:21Clara is out with one of those composers right now.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS

0:00:25 > 0:00:27- GPS:- Continue straight ahead.

0:00:29 > 0:00:30Gabriel, you wrote this music,

0:00:30 > 0:00:33it's like we're actually inside of your head.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36Yeah, I guess so. It's like we're inside my head inside your car.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39I know I can definitely hear an orchestra,

0:00:39 > 0:00:41- but there's something else going on, right?- Yeah.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45I'm really into orchestral music and composing classical music,

0:00:45 > 0:00:48but I'm a fan of hip-hop, dance music, electro, reggaeton,

0:00:48 > 0:00:50grime, you name it,

0:00:50 > 0:00:53and also I'm really into scratching and turntablism.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56So I thought, "Why can't we bring these styles together?"

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Whoa.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Turntables are an instrument,

0:01:12 > 0:01:16but they don't have ANY sound of their own until a DJ gives them one.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20And in Gabriel's piece, every single sound is sampled from the orchestra.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22It's like the orchestra creates the road ahead!

0:01:25 > 0:01:29The DJ, using the same sounds, fires back out new melodies, making

0:01:29 > 0:01:31different routes and crazy detours on the journey.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34You have deviated from your route. Please turn around.

0:01:34 > 0:01:35Please turn around.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Oof!

0:01:37 > 0:01:38I have to say, Gabriel,

0:01:38 > 0:01:41being inside of your head is a very fun place to be!

0:01:42 > 0:01:44That's how the story of music goes really, isn't it?

0:01:44 > 0:01:47You know, music's always reinventing itself,

0:01:47 > 0:01:49travelling in loads of different directions.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Continue straight ahead.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Erm, the opposite of that.- Exactly.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58MUSIC STOPS

0:01:58 > 0:02:01- So all we need now is a DJ. - Hey, wake up, man!
