Great work with Hajanga man, i do these overall structure things with songs that I like, and I try to work out the time signature (can't work out harmony and chord progressions). I had the beginning with three bars of 12/8 (quarter note, eighth note rhythm per beat) with two bars of 15/4 (counted in 5 groups of 3/4) however it makes more sence to write it in 5/4!

I can't get enough of these! Quick question: how come sometimes you write more voices than are on screen for only a chord or two? Are you saying there are more voices than faces sometimes, or are you writing out some of the harmonics of the low voices?

@jalfredprufrock620
@jalfredprufrock620 7 жыл бұрын
Oscar Elmholt Not if you want to indicate a Lydian function. The chord does not sound or behave like it has a diminished 5th, so it would be misleading and inaccurate to notate the #11 as a b5 just for perceived clarity.
@duncanjones7310
@duncanjones7310 6 жыл бұрын
I also think this would end up having both the 7ths in the chord which is not ideal. So it might end up being Gmaj13#11#5addb7 which doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue

June, amazing work! I'm wondering though...what did you mean by "3 against 5"? The "2 against 5" in the top staff makes sense because there each 5/4 measure is divided equally into two halves. But according to your transcription, the bottom staff contains three dotted quarters and THEN an extra 8ths. That's not equal division into three parts. So why the "3 against 5"? Thanks
@JuneLee
@JuneLee 7 жыл бұрын
I think it depends on how you count, but I feel the 3 against 5 by comparing the five-eighths pulse on the top staff to three-eighths pulse on the bottom staff. There are a total of 30 eighths in the phrase; the top staff has 6 pulses of 5 eighths, and the bottom staff has 10 pulses of 3 eighths, or dotted quarters.

That E-maj7, 13, #15 over G (!?!?) is just a simple, tonal Gmajor7, #11, 13 - very common chord. I've never heard of a "15" before - that's just the 1! An upper octave! A "#15" is just a b9. Simple. Why make it so complicated when it's so simple?
@JuneLee
@JuneLee 7 жыл бұрын
That is not a simple Gmaj13#11 chord. A Gmaj13#11 chord would have the following notes: G, B, D, F#, A, C# and E. The notes in the chord you are questioning are (from the bottom) G, E, F#, B, C#, Eb (D#), and F natural. The Eb and F natural do not belong in a Gmaj13#11 chord. I think the chord could be interpreted in many different ways depending on your choice of root. I gave it a #15 label with the root of E natural due to my personal experience in listening to Jacob's explanation on his method of building tertiary harmony. #15 is the same as b9, but if there is already a natural 9th (in this case, an F#), it wouldn't make sense to label it as a b9. Hope this helps.

Oh! Thanks for the response. I now see that I was ignoring the key signature, and that the upper stave is in bass clef, not treble. My mistake! Love your work, June. Thanks again.

For me it's almost understandable if you think about bright and dark. Jacob has said he thinks of the clockwise direction of the circle of fifths as brighter and counterclockwise as darker. I.e Overtones as brighter, and undertones as darker. With this logic if you have an E fundamental and continually expand by fifths you have E ,B ,F# ,C#, G# ,D#, A#, E#, (F) . If you stack it into thirds you get E, G#, B, D#(Eb), F#, A#(ommited), C#, E# (F) . Jacob would define this chord as E super mega meta lydian. Or simply F#maj7 over Emajor 7. To me this makes sense because the F in the melody as the #15 on "Fly" then is literally flying off the scale/harmony and escaping in light. The nuance then is the G natural instead of a G# . Jackie Chan confusement status.
@The1SexyGamer
@The1SexyGamer 6 жыл бұрын
Remember to take into account the octave displacement between a b9 and #15. The 8 is an octave above the 1. The 15 is two octaves above the 1. Therefore, a #15 is NOT just a b9.

impressive i guess from a musician/theorist standpoint but from a strictly listening perspective it just sounds like glorified Weather Channel music. only really interesting thing was DMaj9#11#13 to Gm11@ 2:23 and the minimalism sounding polyrhythms in #2 (sounds like a Wes Anderson movie until the shitty vocal break). despite all the complexity his work still has a very formulaic feeling; IMO he harmonizes way too much in a consonant manner. too much chemistry and not enough alchemy i guess- too clinical.

Some of the music on news networks are actually pretty compelling so I can't argue with you there. I didn't necessarily make that connection but I can see it so that might be part of the appeal to me.
