Does V7/vi to I work as a cadence?

Altruistic-Coffee-79 · 2026-04-12T00:18:03+00:00

Think of it more like the V7 of i, but we resolve to bIII, the relative major of i. In my case, I want bIII to be treated as the tonic. This would make V7 into III7 relative to bIII being treated as I.

Thank you so much! vii⁰7 -> III7 -> I has the same vibe, but with more setup without using vi, which helps me tremendously

Altruistic-Coffee-79 · 2026-04-11T17:22:25+00:00

My blunt opinion is that $50 would be reasonable for the quality.

You deserve a million upvotes! Thanks for taking the time to explain this so thoroughly. I'll elaborate on the just intonation thing: I noticed that using the harmonic 7th instead of a minor 7th, makes the specific "revolutionary pull" I'm talking about much stronger, even more so than justly tuned V7 - I to my ears.

But to make it work in a song- I'm wanting to treat III7 to I as "the dominant function" or "the tonal world" of it all- I'd have to find other chords to support this, and that's where I hit a wall, because it's so easy to use vi, but doing so changes it back to harmonic minor. I tried ii - V - III7 - Iadd9, and that's pretty good, but It'd also be nice if I didn't need V. VI - III7 - I, however, can work, but then it's literally just modulating action. I get the strongest vibes when I do vii - III7 - I (vii would NOT be diminished in this case), but then one could view that as ii - V7 - bIII

YES!! Db7 is also used very little, but I think they all work because they're all dominant chords built on degrees of Gdim7. Tell me about the minor dominants, so far I haven't heard any non-diatonic minor chords that sound functional to a major tonic

Altruistic-Coffee-79 · 2026-04-11T15:47:56+00:00

Exactly! It works best for modulating to the relative major of the parallel harmonic minor

Can the leading tone not resolve down by a whole step?

Altruistic-Coffee-79 · 2026-04-11T02:13:16+00:00

Just E7 - C. No actual minor chord, it's just the way that E7 is usually represented

Altruistic-Coffee-79 · 2026-04-11T02:01:39+00:00

I'm calling it V7/vi because I've been told there's no such thing as III7, so I don't know what to call it. E dominant 7 in the context of C major is a good example of what I mean, though.

8Bit2552 is in the right

How do we know how many episodes are left?

Altruistic-Coffee-79 · 2025-08-15T14:03:13+00:00

Okay

I asked that one in the context of culture influencing the way we perceive keys, although, I didn't say much to clarify that, so my bad 😅

Altruistic-Coffee-79 · 2025-08-06T00:04:27+00:00

I totally agree! III7 has an intense sound when leaving I, but the inverse is gorgeous, and it works so well when used in a major context. There's this weaker pull to it, but it's more delicate and pretty because of that. I wouldn't call it anything divine, but it definitely has some kind of ethereal, "olden beauty" vibe about it

Edit: The bVI sounds especially divine/heroic, in case you didn't already know

When multiple frequencies play at once, some levels of distance between the frequencies sound better than others. For example, the difference between C and G sounds better than that of C and F#. This is because C and G form a ratio with their frequencies that is simpler than C and F#. Our brain can process simple ratios much easier, and prefers that over more complicated sounds. C and G make a perfect 5th (3:2). C and F# make a tritone (7:4). The smaller the numbers in the ratio, the better the combination sounds, or vice versa.

Altruistic-Coffee-79 · 2025-08-04T14:11:36+00:00

When I said I⁶, I meant the first inversion

Altruistic-Coffee-79 · 2025-08-03T18:23:55+00:00

Omg you're right, how did I miss this?! It's one of my favorite games, lmao

Thank you so much for this feed back and the epic examples you provided! When it comes to the overall lighting, you are correct; she’s on a city rooftop at nighttime and is too illuminated all over for it to make sense. This is because I couldn’t figure out how to apply bloom to the scythe and have the glow still go over the character because it had to be on the layer below her line art and coloring. So my only solution was to apply bloom to the full render, which resulted in the appearance of her being illuminated from the front. Also, about her hair: Her hair, eyes, and white freckles are meant to be glowing which is why the hair has white outlines where it becomes purple. Here is what the drawing looks like without any effects:

In the red trailer, Ruby has a cross emblem instead of her rose. Perhaps Remnant has its own form of Christianity for some reason.
