How To Travel From World-To-World In Song

If you're A instrumentalist you might be asking yourself: "What makes he intend by traveling from 'world-to-world?'" Well that's a good inquiry and I have got a simple reply for that. Let me share with you a recent find I happened upon while banging on the keys (that's "playing the piano" in music-speak) and trying to come up up with a song.

I've gone through 6 old age of formalized Horse Opera Classical music preparation and 4 old age of Ethnomusicology surveys and for whatever reasons, I never picked up a thing about the musical elements of structure, motifs, and kinetics in any piece or composition. If it came to my ain songwriting, I hardly ventured out into a different key and mostly stayed in one, differentiating subdivisions by production or instrumental agreements instead. I mean, in theory I knew about those elements but I hadn't grown into them until very recently.

So as I dabbled on the keys some thoughts here and there to seek and passage from subdivision to subdivision (perhaps with an purpose to get away my ennui of creating songs in a mono-key structure), I accidentally hit a bass short letter that was a relative 4th that did not belong to any of the short letters in the cardinal but was based on one of the octave short letters in that key. For case if I'm playing in the cardinal of Degree Fahrenheit Major (which only have a Type Type B level in that key), but Iodine travel to an Vitamin E level (that makes not be in the cardinal of F) from a B level I had just played, I've successfully transitioned from one key, or world, to another without it sounding weird.

Now I'm not the most savvy when it come ups to explaining music theory (even if it's my ain music), but drama out the bass short letters and you'll hear what I mean. Add some chords to those bass short letters and you'll magnify your range of apprehension by hearing to the full spectrum of the music.

This is a very basic illustration of what I intend by traveling from "world-to-world" but if you seek this, you'll soon derive a whole new experience into music composition as well as simple music appreciation. In essence, you're moving outside of your original key, or outside of your world, by moving into that Vitamin Vitamin E flat, which alterations the sound seamlessly into a new E level Major while giving you the flexibleness to come up back to your original Degree Fahrenheit Major.

Needless to say, this was an ear-opening experience for me and provided me a renewed grasp for past musical greats that didn't have got engineerings like sampling and sound technology to change the timber of their instruments. They worked with what they had. And in a sense I worked backwards by relying on engineerings to construction my sound. Now I've got the greats to stand up on their shoulders to incorporate my hereafter sound fusing my present technological recordings with their past agreement innovation.
