I was inspired by @corseque's (thank you for your service all these years) analysis on the D'read Koda and Dark Solas Theme. I pulled out my crusty old music theory stuff from a thousand years ago. I was never any good at it, so here are my half-baked observations.

To me, the D'read Koda seems like it might end in a different key than we began, in F minor. The natural G in the vocal line is a note in the scale of Fminor. Although it is also a note in the Bflat minor melodic scale, it would have come bundled with an A natural (raised 7th) rather than an A flat. Particularly coming down the scale, the G natural really pulls me towards F minor as the new key. F is a 5th up from B flat which is a common key progression (classic circle of 5ths). To me that suggests transformation... We have moved somewhere else since we started (Thank you character development)! Musically, it's one of the easiest moves to change the key up a 5th because you only have to change a single note on the scale. BUT, moving down a 4th back to the original key? Slightly trickier. At least I never got the hang of it, but Mozart definitely has a full handle on it, so it's possible to do, and quick, and neat. Symbolic? I think so.

Except!!! Right when the D'read Koda gets really loud, there's a low humming G FLAT!!! And it pulls me right back into Bflat minor (where we started) and makes it feel really unfinished (perks of an imperfect cadence, or, the bare bones skeleton of one). So maybe nothing's changed at all... In terms of chord progression... The baseline of the Lost Elf twinkly chordy bits at the beginning seems to go ok with the D'read Koda bell bits. Mainly because it's mostly just an outline of some chords (with the sustained Fs from the D'read Koda), so there's lots of space for the weird creepy dissonant notes to fill. But it does the job, and quite honestly sounds kind of nice. It even gives us suggestions of cadences and dare I say, phrasing. But that's mostly in Lost Elf and not in D'read Koda, imo.

There's a lot of different textures in D'read Koda, to the point where I have a really hard time even discerning pitches, so that's tough. But I'm really quite bad at this stuff (it's really a miracle that I retained anything). So if someone else wants to give it a go...

I can’t record and look at another app at the same time so just the first bit from Atlantic (gosh it’s fun to rediscover playing) (if I could add a second video I’d put the one where I’m fucking around by going down the octave on the notes higher than Bflat but it seems I can’t)

Bleh having trouble figuring out tritone substitution in a natural minor scale.

Maybe I should play with other modes?

F Lydian has the dominant chord Cmaj7 and tritone substitution gives G flat maj 7 which might work?

So replace CEGB with Gflat Bflat Dflat F

So it might work?

Need to play around but I'm a bit tired right now.

So take G then tritone substitution gives B and Dm for IV and ii substitutes. Actually tritone substitution should work okay for mixolydian.

Dm7 is DFAB which goes to Aflat m7 which is A-flat B E-flat F

So you still have the B and F same notes.

Need to play around though.

Fdim should work for E Phrygian maybe?

@squishmallowlesbian​ tagged me in a music challenge for 5 songs I’ve recently had on repeat. My listening habits are a little more sporadic but these are close to meeting the criteria:

Dropkick Murphy’s- Flannigan’s Ball

Kelly Clarkson- Since U Been Gone | Commentary: so I had a Dr.’s appointment a few weeks back and the lyft driver was bumping this. This song fucks and I now want to pitch a 2000′s pop show to my corps director.

The Dreadnoughts- Joli Rouge

Muppets- Kokomo | Commentary: You know this post? I’m like that at work sometimes. Honorable mention to to I Go to Rio (both Muppets and some other versions), Rio will always hold a special place in my heart because we played it as a standstill chart when I was at RHR, pretty much the same arrangement that Empire Statesmen used to play.

Lucky Chops- Memories

I typically don’t tag people in these kind of things but I’m curious what @bflat-dino-magic​ might have? Open invitation to anyone that wants to share some tunes!

Introduction to Digital Music Techniques - Submission 1

For this project, "Mess You've Made" I really struggled to come up with a starting point for my song. I wracked my mind for ideas traversing through the loops library and past demos unable to find a sound that would let my inspiration start flowing. Overall I amassed 2 extremely rough songs and one final piece for this submission. I found the idea of total creative freedom in alliance with permission to utilise the loops library more overwhelming and stagnating than anything but eventually came up with a chord progression that I then built the track around. 

Inspiration

After finally gaining the momentum I found elements within these specific songs linked in the Spotify playlist as pieces of inspiration for areas of my track. 

The overarching theme of the piece is a bittersweet longing for someone. I took the initial atmosphere from the opening of ‘Cold Summer’ and its eerie strings, paired with lyrics within its chorus “Are you gonna stay for me, no… are you gonna wait for me, no” to prepare for the feeling of being let down in your longing that I wanted to channel.

The majority of the tracks involve fun synth based melodic ideas and progressions, especially within ‘Ring of Past’ and ‘Deserve Me’. Along with this, in ‘Ring of Past’ I really found myself drawn to its funky and full bass line which I then attempted to implement in my own work. On the other hand with ‘Deserve Me’ I additionally liked the fleshy harmonies within the vocal elements that round out the piece. 

For ‘Honeymoon’ I really enjoyed the experimental and dynamic drums and percussive elements, and within ‘Breakfast In Bed’ I really found myself drawn to the rhythmic nature of the vocals as well as the high brass elements that act as exclamation points within the piece.

Structure

For the structure of the piece I found myself following the flows of the music as I personally felt that it would occur.

I would describe the piece as having an A B C D C D structure as outlined in the picture below. I wanted the work to result in a climax and found that with building the elements up piece by piece then finally merging ideas from alternating sections together as a finale I would be able to achieve that whilst still maintaining the structural integrity and melodic flow of the piece.

Elements

I began the piece with a Dm, C, Am, Bflat chord progression and paired it with the 80s Sine Synth preset on Logic as inspired by the synth elements of the list of songs mentioned earlier. 

I paired this with the use of the Roland TR-909 drum machine on the DAW to add the driving rhythmic elements of the piece. I liked the sound of this drum machine as its a commonly used drum sound that contains elements that keep it interesting. 

As inspired by ‘Ring of Past’ I then added in a full sounding moving bass to assist in the lower range of the piece and add a new melodic progression.

I followed this with writing and adding my vocal lines into the work. I usually enjoy adding harmonies to songs to emphasise specific areas and add dynamics to the work which I did implement in this piece, however I’m not sure whether I would deem these harmonies fully successful or not. 

With the vocals I toyed with the EQ until I found levels I thought sounded good with my voice, as well as adding reverb in order to make them feel less dry and more full. I additionally distorted an adlib leading into section C/D for artistic effect.

After this I felt stumped again as I wanted the piece to have more depth and feel fuller so I searched through the loops library and found the ‘Brazilian Sun Zambuma’ which lined up well with my rhythmic vocals in Section B.

Drawing back to ‘Breakfast In Bed’, I then added a simple high synth horn pad progression which I found to be very grounding within the piece and I feel acts as the string that ties the piece together, connecting the contrasting sections with a sense of simplistic familiarity.

Finally I added an extra synth in the present ‘Autumn Haze’ to act as the layer that glues the elements together, following the chord progression of the initial synth line but adding a reverberated atmospheric element alongside it. I then made it consistently pan from left to right throughout the piece to create movement and further depth.

Feeling better, fingers still burning from the guitar session, so couldn't really continue the tutorial series, but got my classic bflat scale down from school days memories on another instrument. Just gently building up my fingers' endurance, which seems like the most important thing, since I can't do the lessons if I can't physically handle playing for more than a few minutes.
