July 3, 20169 yr I like this a lot. It's strange and appealing. Like watching Charlie Chaplin in slow motion.
July 4, 20169 yr This is so cool and chromatic! What scales did you use to write this? The tonality is a little more conservative than the last few works of yours I've listened to. But fascinating and jazzy as always.
July 4, 20169 yr Author Hi The concept in this work was a challenge. I wanted to write something whose tonal center was unstable. So, I used the C aumented scale: C - D - E - F - G# - A - B..... Chords: C+maj7, Dm7, E7, G#dim7, Am(maj7), Bdim7 There are two more scales; One designed by myself (I couldn't find a description of it): C, Db, Eb, F#, G , Ab, Bb.... With chords built by thirds. A minor scale: mixing melodic, harmonic and eolian. The distribution of these scales are: Bars 1-11: C augmented Bars: 12-30: my own scale Bars 31-57: A minor scale combined Bars 58-60: C augmented Bars 69-end: my own scale Besides, here and there appear a borrowed chord from other scales. What is important is to notice that when using exotic/non-standard scales, there are no tonal functions as subdominant-dominant-tonic. They have to be treated as modal harmonic systems.
