Tarren (They/Them)LOL If I wasn't already familiar with music theory, this would have lost me by the end of the first section. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZHBVcth0L4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZHBVcth0L4</a> ***Hashtags*** <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/MusicTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicTheory</a>

Mark ReidI did a bit of Javascript hacking this weekend with the excellent `two.js` 2D drawing library to try to create an animated version of a diagram I came up with a while ago about modes and the circle of fifths.

A few years ago got amazing analog midi synths/drums, and only made a track or two. Anyways, since a week I'm properly studying theory and multiple instruments in parallel whenever I can, and it's so much fun already... ❤️🏠🎶

katch wreckof course, you can pick locrian (the "darkest" mode) or lydian (the "brightest" mode) and use those as a reference, too. for example, six sharps starting from locrian can get you to lydian through all the other modes (5, 2, 6, 3, 7, 4) and similarly, six flats can get you from lydian to locrian through all other modes (4, 7, 3, 6, 2, 5), with Dorian in the center. so the symmetry of the Dorian mode occurs not only in its intervals but also in its modal relationships <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/theory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/musicTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musicTheory</a>

Cassana 🍻This is a short documentary on Konnakol, the rhythm language of South Indian Carnatic <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Music</a>. During my <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/Ethnomusicology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ethnomusicology</a> studies I took lessons in tabla, which has a different rhythm language called Bol used for reciting cycles and compositions, though I find Konnakol, which I got into with kanjira, a little bit more flexible, e.g., internalising a fast 9/8 (2+2+3+2) by saying "takadimitakitajuna", or playing around with rhythm without needing an instrument. <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/MusicTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicTheory</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4mxt4xBgdc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4mxt4xBgdc</a>

Pauliina LievonenI’ve got a week off which means time for bassoon practise. This might only amuse myself, but: I first learned music theory in Finnish, which like German uses H for the note just below C. But I now mostly teach in Dutch and English where the same note is B. But B in Finnish means a B flat. So in order to know for sure what I mean, in my own markings I write H and Bes. Clear as mud? 😁 <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/bassoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bassoon</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/musictheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musictheory</a>

Cassana 🍻Outkast's Hey Ya in 31TET, at half-speed and ambient? In this video Levi McClain talks about his compositional approach, including some great insights into <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/Microtonal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microtonal</a> <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/MusicTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicTheory</a>. Personally I'm not too familiar with 31TET, preferring 36 or 53TET, which I mainly use in the context of Turkish makam theory. Even so, his harmony approach sounds perfectly functional to my ears, though if you're not used to <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/microtonality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microtonality</a> this probably will sound weird/eerie. <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOtMHkafIP4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOtMHkafIP4</a>

Georgiana BrummellI think some of you may find this interesting. I myself am beginning to study all of this, as I am fascinated by the singing methods and knowledge of the time. It is a bit difficult doing it being blind and unable to read music, but fortunately, there are ways around that. My perfect pitch and good memory for lyrics also helps. Still, if anyone would like to work with me on this i.e. study together or even give some advice, I would appreciate it. Below, you will find various links related to theory, harmony and counterpoint, and a comparison of older and modern methods of teaching and singing. While this relates to choirs and opera, it also relates to the theatre, particularly operettas and such. Studying Music: Part I <a href="https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205086.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205086.html</a> My one criterion was that the methods and books used had to be from the time of Ivor Novello, preferably from his youth (born 1893). If I were to start in the early nineteenth century, which is where most of my preferred non-musical educational material is from, I would miss extremely important developments in classical music. Starting at the birth of his mother, Clara Novello Davies, in 1861, would be fine. However, since her own book, which I am using as my main text and guide, was written in 1928, I went with that of her son. In the following sections, you will find the books I am using. One thing I have not included, though it was a huge influence in Ivor's own writing style, was theatrical music, such as that found in operettas and Edwardian musical comedies. That is such a large topic for discussion that I feel it deserves its own separate post, as does Ivor's music, since it's an interesting blend of all of the above. But this is well outside the scope of traditional musical study. In the next entry (the below link), we will delve into vocal training and why the singers of Novello's time sound so wonderful.

Note that these are the Preliminaries and Breathlock Physicals, not the vocal exercises. But I have provided the link to her book as well, for those who may wish to go further.

Cassana 🍻"Open <a href="https://the-crossroads-inn.com/tags/MusicTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicTheory</a> Version 2 (OMT2) is an open educational resource intended to serve as the primary text and workbook for undergraduate music theory curricula. As an open and natively-online resource, OMT2 is substantially different from other commercially-published music theory textbooks, though it still provides the same content that teachers expect from a music theory text."

Travis BriggsI've known for a while that most people are much more interested in the lyrics of pop songs than I am. I'm in it for the music, the melody, harmony and accompaniment.But some lyrical phrases still catch me or stick with me! And I like some songs just for the lyrics.So maybe it's just reversed between myself and those who cherish lyrics. Maybe they get caught by certain chord progressions sometimes. Maybe they even enjoy the occasional instrumental, or appreciate an arrangement without realizing it. Like most things it's probably a spectrum. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/listening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#listening</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PopMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PopMusic</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MusicTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MusicTheory</a>
