Currently: anything mentioned by Adam Neely in that one video, y'all know what it is.

Probably the minors stuff, like turning a minor into a harmonic one by raising the seventh scale degree is raised by half-step, I think I might be wrong.


Artist please check out my art, and musician please check out my music.

Although I haven't tested out the harmonic minor scale, I might try it one day.

The 12 tone equal temperament tuning system. I know some argue its a limitation but it's one I'm rather fond of. I'm also a massive fan of Konnakol as far as rhythmic systems go.

Yeah, Its a very cool scale which adds more differentness in my chord progressions and melodies.

Personally, it's the theory surrounding chord progressions; the sheer diversity of what we're able to create and use to transition our songs is magnificent!

I love it when a piece is written around an ostinato, a repeated rhythm or phrase.


Stickerbush Symphony is forever my favourite example where the ostinato pulses through the whole track while everything else changes around it.

non-functional harmony, im not even sure if i got the concept of it right but i tried using it in some songs of mine and it sounded great to me, plus the concept of using chords however you want without being bound to functional harmony rules is really fun!

Show me yours and I'll show you mine teehee

I really enjoy the concept of "Micro-Tonality" the idea that there could be music, or possibly already existing music, written in intervals smaller than a semitone, like something between F & F#, it's not F, and it's not F# either, it's sort of in the middle.

That is endlessly fascinating to me :)


I love this site :)
