You seemed to be asserting that serialism was de facto the music of innovation, and now no longer seem to be making that assertion. Sent from...

I don't think so. I was contradicting your categorical assertions that serialism stopped being innovative decades ago. My point is that it still can...

Vis a vis Boulez I think all my favourite pieces of his are after the Integral Serialism era. He didn’t generally like to break down his methods...

Like I said, they're disguised, for example: D7#5 | x-3-4-3-3-x | And chords such as min#7 & Maj7#5 contain an augmented triad.

The pro move is to start with the thumbnail and then design the video around it. I wish I were joking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

nah man just spend like 15 mins on the video and maybe like 2 hours on the thumbnail tops

I guess I'm not Professor Bobby. I can't make myself spend 3 hours on a video for absolutely noone to use it lol. :p

You can also use a shielded or metal cover soldered to the baseplate. Humbucker shaped P90s like the Phat Cat have a metal cover soldered to the...

I tell you what might be 'original', not Indian singing to bebop but scat singing a la Ella to Indian music. Imagine.

Isn't there just a way to minimize that hum inside a program like Adobe Audition or something? There must be a way.

If you conflate assimilating the breadth of it with going over 1 outline of some music, yes.

That's really stretching the definition of "simple analysis." :smile-new:

It's a bit of a compromise in tone, but not everyone thinks it kills the tone. It's up to the individual if they like it or not.

Though they remove the hum, I heard they also kill the tone. Is this true?

Shakti, John Mclaughlin's group, has been doing this sort of thing with Indian vocalists for well over 20 years now.

judging by the name of this I think it sounds promising

They expanded radically the possibilities of music several decades ago. I still think the music of Solage, Gesualdo, Lawes and late Beethoven is...

My comment is based on the fact that I haven't studied his system and so am on the outside (of it) looking in. You think it simplifies analysis of...

You could try a noiseless P90.

Why is that? His single note stuff seems quite simple to me yet ends up sounding very accurately bebop.

Doubling Db would make it more consonant (and IIm7b5 like) - | x-(4)-5-3-2-2 | P.S. - I was working on an ending for Spring Can Really Hang You Up...

Without the D it leads reasonably gently to Ab13 played maybe 4x4311. With the D, though, it strikes me as something else.

Lol!

Would you say the first chord* below is serving a subdominant function? - say, Gm(alt), or does it even matter? *| x-(5)-5-3-2-2 | > Ab13 |...

Very insightful and enlightening interview. It explains a lot about his playing and approach. Thx for posting S

Thanks Mark. That hum is the curse of the P90 pickup in my archtop. I wish I had a better way, because I love that guitar and it's tone.
