In this interview http://www.robertappleton.com/gr_interview1960.pdf posted by bobappleton in another thread, Russell says something to the effect that it doesn't matter ( to the music itself and to the listener) whether the musician is relating to the music horizontally or vertically. It only matt...

This is fairly obvious but, I have noticed that basically every western scale can be created just by using the nine or ten tone order. Reason being is that you have in your hands 4/5 of all of the notes... at your creative disposal. (in the ten tone order of course) For example one of my favorites t...

I was actually talking about resolution to the Lydian V, with it being a common practice in classical music to resolve to the Lydian VI, temporarily of course. Eventually ending on the Lydian III or V. Nice "platforms" for a wholesome ending. I meant earlier to bring up the higher tonal or...

The way I consider it would be as follows. I think that classical music in Lydian terms would be following the state of resolution from the VI to the V and eventually ending on the III as a minor tonic. I would also agree that the +V and/or bIII would be a passing tone. I consider the Lydian VI and ...

Bought my copy for $18.50 in '58. I remember hiding it because I knew my parents would question where all that money came from. Wow. I really cannot imagine how that would have been. All I have are material comparisons from my generation... Like a vidja' game console! - Since I am a youngn' and all...

I am baffled but... I gotta find that book.
-Seriously. Sounds like a good read!

The fact that the price of the concept in over fifty years has gone up so terribly much!?

Sheesh I mean five whole dollars!
-Inflation is such a bitch...

Yes, I cannot answer your second question without having to find the page near the back of the concept. If it lists it, which I hope. However... There is quite a reasonable foundation for the +IV being closer to the harmonic series' "actual" tone. At the bottom note of page three it says t...

I am in debt to the brilliant souls in this forum for such enlightening posts!
-I truthfully enjoyed this article more than any other

Any-who, my reason for posting was that I have a book recommendation.
-Have any of you guys read it?

"Hearing Chaos" by Judy Lochhead.

Intro-- I remember seeing a post about thirdless sound, which I experimented with before being introduced to the concept. I truly believe this aspect is a must-have in modern music. Tertian harmony is just a bit too vague for consonance to be truly manipulated. Which leads me to make this statement-...

I finally have a question that is topic worthy. Alright, I have been thinking lately of the dominant seventh II versus the major seventh II or I in consonance to dissonance. If you are thinking of the concept terms on the TG chart, or relating to the most outgoing step, the dominant seventh is more ...

I wish I would have been with this topic... Awake at least.

Didn't expect it to boom!

I wish I could help...

If you don't mind me asking... What is the relative location?

Ahh. Finally!

I really think this forum needs a bit of sarcasm!!
Maybe it will liven this joint up a little!

Not that it's dull... Just seems a bit stern!



Welcome sholbling. Great to see some new topics!

I wish! I was at the show at bonnaroo this year and unfortunately he fell out on stage due to the heat... :( What was funny was the fact that roughly thirty percent of the audience left after the first "low tempo/ingoing" song, when Ornette really embraced the fast paced, "outgoing&qu...
