Your videos are some of the best I've seen on practical composition, and in a style of music I enjoy! Thanks for doing this.

Happy to help. If the things I do while making my music are useful to others, mores the better!

I don't know of any other KZfaq channel that breaks down concepts in Berlin School music so clearly. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

★★★★★ you’re a natural teacher, Luke. Explained very well and your dog was clearly punishing you for your delay time faux pas ☺️

Ah, such a nice call and response technique! Great video, as ever! Yes, this is technically 'counterpoint'; specifically "4th species", which uses offset notes that overlap chord tones (here they would be C-Eb-G, simplified) and nonchord tones at the same time creating suspensions, or rubs (in this case, via the delays). I didn't do an analysis of the notes you played, but this is the gist of the idea. Always love the tones you come up with, so warm and lush!

@benasaro1043 He he he. Counterpoints. Style of Lukes explanations. I thought: "Hmm Bach". Googled "Bach Counterpoints" got a Link named "Bach, badass of Counterpoints". Bach would have been the "Overlord of Synthesizers" creating voices that talk and repeat each other. Music is awsome.

No Classic , Fux , Counterpoint . Rhythm on different time slots resembles a sort of contrapuntal . Bravo . Actually here the root is C but the scale itself is F Dorian , built 0on Eb Major . Next all the best

Hi! I hope someone sees my question and can help. I've been learning about chord progressions and using notes OUTSIDE of the key, like with "secondary dominant" chords. How would I use that knowledge in this context? I mean, if I'm creating multiple melodic voices, how do I melodically write these temporary key changes? I don't know if I'm making sense ha 🤷🏻‍♂️

@synthseeker 4 ай бұрын

It isn’t really that different, just more complicated to see using multiple voices. The combination of your voices can imply a chord, and you choose what each voices is playing. So if you are moving through a progression by splitting the chords up across three voices (or two, or more) you can choose the notes that make up the chord. Hmmm…I’ll see if I can do a video about it. :)

Hi Luke, just to make clear: in the first phrase there is a dotted 8th note delay. In the second phrase there is a 1/4 note delay. Right? 😄😉

@synthseeker Жыл бұрын

It does sound that way...and I no longer remember for sure, but in watching it sounds like the purple track is dotted-eight and the green is quarter notes. So I think you are correct. :)

I'll try to bring J.S. Bach back onto our world, the real one. He would love all these possibilities! PS: I'm not sure he would love the dog, but no shame is a good thing, even when having hallucinations and probably a personality - on dog level - disorder.
