"Hey Matt,
I'd say you nailed it when you called it a turn. And you really hit the nail on the head when you said the figure consists of a suspension followed by a lower neighbor. In other words: I have no clue what it's called, but I figured you…"

"Of course at major cadences and picardy thirds it would be Do in the bass and Fa-Mi-Re-Mi in the upper. Just realized that now lol."

"Yes I would recommend binaural beats and solfeggio frequencies as well (Mountainmystic9 on youtube is a great source as Jamie pointed out, I am subscribed to him). Its all really under the umbrella of minimalism. I would check out Steve Reich and…"
"hahaha, your first joke reminded me of another joke I know. So you know, I play blues harmonica on the side...sort of as a musical hobby. I have a fun time and I usually drink for free when I'm playing. It is definitely not my primary instrument or…"
"Ok, it's starting to make more sense now I think. Knowing how the modes developed (4 modes and that there was an authentic and plagal for each eventually into the 6 useable "modern" modes) helped me along I think. Thanks for the links Tombo. I added…"
"I totally agree with you, its good to read books but it is also great to hear others’ interpretations and figure out your own. There a lot of ways to understand and deconstruct a concept.

"Even within the standard 12-note ET tuning, there are some other interesting modes. I'm fond of the raised-4th, lowered-7th mode, which I've heard called the "Bartok" mode. When the tonic is C, this scale has an F# and a Bb. It's a rotation of the…"
"Let me rephrase a remark from another discussion, as it is relevant here.
Enharmonics is not always related to pitch. We simply do a simple logic with key vs. accidental signatures and subconsciously link our emotions to this logic.
Let us do the…"

"It's definitely not a quarter-tone. People who are not familiar with the details of tuning systems sometimes use the term "quarter-tone" (incorrectly) because they assume or imagine that the only pitch between two of the pitches in the 12-note…"
"Here are some possibly interesting articles on modes for you. I don't know if I agree with this first one that the song "Drunken Sailor" alternates between two different tonics, but it is "interesting":…"
"No, of course, always interesting to have these kind of discussions.
For me a mode is a grid. I look at it as a sequence of steps in semitones, so major is 2-2-1-2-2-2-1.
If you talk about tonality you talk about the expression of a key. Thats not…"

I came here to your page to see if you posted a small original music track up yet? There's a player thats easy to put on your page, and if you poke around you'll see it. I see you found the "theme" changing on your page, the music player is no harder to add...
I look forward to hearing something from you. If you get bored... you can go to MY page, I have posted up 2 tracks. One a short guitar ditty, the other a rough sketch-out of my next sonata attempt... and by all means, dont be afraid to tell me anything I ever do is "snail snot". I like criticism, without it I cant get any better.
