AndyB01 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 The chords keep going where you least expect them to - definitely in the Wookiee style. I rather enjoyed it - well composed (and played). Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the ears and kind comments, good to know you enjoyed it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
equality Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Sort of dreamish, mysterious wandering in this soundscape. I like when you go from dissonancies to more harmonic parts like at one minute. Perhaps I want more of that but who am I to tell. Enjoyable and pleasant listening. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, you insight is so insightful 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 That was very dreamy and mysterious . I very much enjoyed that creative composition and the somewhat lost feeling I got. As far as the somewhat strange chord structure .. After I retired I took some community college courses that used Cakewalk piano roll for composition. A Lot of the young students had not yet been "locked in a box" as far as chord progressions. I found the unusual choices they made Very interesting and musical but for sure unexpected. I got that feeling in this one.. Enjoyed it .. mark 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeEarCandy Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 You certainly make it interesting. As far as the comments about the chord progressions. I notice the same magic when I play the piano. Not so much with other instruments. I don't know why that is, but its very inspiring. Seems like no matter what I do it sounds good which lends a greater degree of freedom in the moment. Hope all is well. Nice work! I like it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Music theory says that certain chords just naturally follow other chords and there's no mathematical formula to explain why that is. It just "sounds right." It's a human experience thing and I think that's wonderful. Anyway, I enjoyed your music Wookie. -Bjorn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Walsh Posted Friday at 04:55 AM Share Posted Friday at 04:55 AM Beautiful, I do like the progression. Drums came in at the perfect point, and I love the sounds you get from those mysterious boxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My method of finding other chords involves normally moving the wrong claw. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
