Larry T. 251 Posted May 24 interesting piece a la Walter/Wendy Carlos' "Switched on Bach" from 1968....i also use modalities, or specific scales, as a jumping off point when writing music....it's amazing when taking a look at all the different chords available in a scale how many are duplicates of others....good job, as usual 🎶🎶🎶🎶 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee 1,789 Posted May 24 19 hours ago, bjornpdx said: Nice one. Different from your usual. I'm guessing you were switching from one mode to another (Dorian, Lydian...) Reminds me of the communicating with the aliens scene in Close Encounters. -Bjorn Thanks, it's interesting however it is just one mode C, which some will argue is Am. Using a modal progression is more to do with how far each step is within the melody as true modal form has no harmonic support. Again my thanks for your ongoing support.
