can anyone teach me in this thread about modes without resorting to youtubes or links? :-D |

I'm bored so sure. To demonstrate, use only the white keys on a keyboard. Playing a scale C to C is Ionian mode, or major. Playing D to D is the Dorian mode. Playing A to A is the Ionian mode, AKA relative minor. The rest of the modes of C work similarly. Ionian - C to C (major) Dorian - D to D (jazz minor sound) Phrygian - E to E (technical metal sound) Lydian - F to F (good for progressive rock) Mixolydian - G to G (laid back funky sound) Aeolian - A to A (minor) Locrian - B to B (very dark, abstract, evil sound) Of course this implies chord progressions using these modes, so the i triad of Dorian would be D-F-A, the IV is G-B-D and the v is be A-C-E Every major scale has similar modes, for example E flat major has an aeolian (relative minor) mode of C minor. Correct me if I fucked up, I didn't get much sleep. |

it was a sort of "oh" moment when aphex said he'd often start off a track by defining a custom scale. i never went that far. i never thought about scales, at the start. but i would pick certain notes, and say, "alright, these are the notes i'm using for this song." later on, i found out what scales these actually were. i'm not sure i have the ear for microtonal, but i should probably try it sometime. also similar was a mouse on mars interview where they said something like, "we have a rule: everything has to be triggered by a human. it could be pressing play on a sequence or whatever, but it still has to be done manually" and that seemed sort of like the rhythmic counterpart to custom scales |
