is the goodchord books anything like the Generic modality compression book he wrote with Tim miller?

Is that the one that tells you how the Flux Capicitor works?

My kids would label that a "dad joke".... :-) Getting pretty late in London?

How dare you

Modal Compression basically extracts the 6 notes of a given mode other than the root.
They than locate all the 3 note structures and match them into 10 hexatonic chord pairs.
The 3 note structures include:

triads
7th (no 3rd)
7th (no 5th)
Quartal
Cluster

These pairs function loosely against the root to represent the color of the mode.

The inversions of each chord pair are then voice led in both close and open spreads.
Then they are presented in the context of a song progression.

It comes with an audio recording that provides many examples and provides a accompaniment
track for you to do the same.

I forget what else without opening the book.
It is an interesting viewpoint of some sounds found within a modal context.

Different than the Goodchord series.

Got it?

Thanks for your succinct explanation. That makes a lot of sense. I may even give it a try.
