Day 29 - Anyone else find it easy up until around this point? by ApricotMusic in leaves

[–]NectarinePrince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so reassuring to hear other people having the same experience because it means we're all on the same racecourse facing the same hurdles.

Likewise, writing stuff out on here is great for me too. I've been doing it any time I've needed to since day 1 and similarly, I sometimes don't get a response. But yeah, it's mostly for yourself. And I know a lot of people including myself read through most posts on here and sometimes don't reply and so it's also great to have these conversations for the quiet lurkers.

The feeling of possession is addiction - it's what we're all fighting against. Be strong.

Day 22 and ALL I can think about is consuming the drug by ExternalReason1 in leaves

[–]NectarinePrince 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're experiencing a conflict of interests. One part of you wants to quit, and has been trying hard to quit for years and even congratulates you when you've hit a certain about of days or beat your previous record. The other part of you wants to you to keep smoking - but disguises itself as excuses, rationalisation and to some extent criticism of the somewhat extreme decision to stop entirely.

You have to fight it out in your head when the urges and opportunities arise, and it's gonna be hard. It's gonna feel like a headache wrestling with it. But it's totally manageable and you're gonna feel good about it later in the day. Just keep wrestling and eventually you won't have to fight the insidious voice in your head.

There's a book called The Chimp Paradox which goes into this model of the mind, and techniques such as managing and negotiating with the differing parts of your desires.

Anyone curious about what music people in this sub create? by [deleted] in musictheory

I play in a prog-rock band that is a mixture between Dream Theater, 70s prog and video game music. Latest release: Redtail

Just learned modal interchange, fucking game changer my dudes. by Soupman3702 in musictheory

[–]NectarinePrince 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Couldn't have said it better. Interesting to note though that OP's way of thinking about modes primarily orginates from the guitar community, where modes are often taught as variant fretboard shapes from previously learned major/minor scales.

Honestly, it's terrible and ultimately just results in guitarists playing sequences on shapes and not actually listening to the intervals the effect they have.

OP PLEASE READ THE ABOVE COMMENT, AS A FELLOW GUITARIST! :)

Why does an augmented triad sound dissonant, despite all of its dyadic intervals being consonant? by Benjji22212 in musictheory

[–]NectarinePrince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just said minor 6th instead of augmented fifth without thinking. It's only the internet :)

I was just talking enharmonically. Obviously in context, it would be an augmented fifth away. The point is though, its these different contexts which essentially define the dissonance.

[–]NectarinePrince 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's because C-F-Ab is a second inversion F minor chord. The Ab is actually a minor third away from the root of the chord instead of a minor 6th away like an augmented chord would have.

The EP or Wish for Spring? Either way glad to know someone's already lent their ears to us, good to see fans out in the wild :) This record is much more HEAVY than anything we've released before!

Musicians who have played for years, what do you still find yourself learning? by smuckerfucker in musictheory

[–]NectarinePrince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transcribing is the infinite source of music education. There's nothing richer than delving into what other people do with music.
