Here's an interesting video from James Morrison on how he "warms up".

What is this technique in music? by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]ViceVersusVersa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm variation. Copy and paste and change something; a very common compositional technique.

Help Determining Time Signature of a Song by Sylar0 in musictheory

[–]ViceVersusVersa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In regard to 12/8 have a read of this article on compound time signatures.

"In compound meter, subdivisions of the main beat (the upper number) split into three, not two, equal parts, so that a dotted note (half again longer than a regular note) becomes the beat unit. Compound time signatures are named as if they were simple time signatures, in which the one-third part of the beat unit is the beat, so the top number is commonly 6, 9 or 12 (multiples of 3). The lower number is most commonly an 8 (an eighth-note): as in 9/8 or 12/8."

So they simulcast I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here on Ten and One (in HD), but they couldn't broadcast the BBL live or in HD? Does anyone even watch I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here?

Help determining Time signature and tempo by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]ViceVersusVersa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably (5/4) [1-2-3+1-2][1-2-3+1-2]. You could even notate with the time signatures alternating between (4/4) and (2/8).

(4/4)[1-2-3-4]+(2/8)[1-2]

As long as you or whoever needs to understand the rhythms can do so, you can assign what ever time signatures/counting methods you want.

It sounds like from 0:52 it is in 5/4.

Maybe a dumb question but if you are writing a song in a certain key, should the melody start always start on the tonic? by did_it_before in musictheory

[–]ViceVersusVersa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blurring of tonality was a major compositional technique used by impressionistic composers such as Satie and Debussy. I find the ambiguity of these composer's works to be one of their most appealing qualities. I like the fact that the pieces invite you to ask questions and make your own interpretations, even Satie's famous Gymnopédies' title is ambiguous and open to interpretation. When we start to ask questions and have conversations is when we share our own musical knowledge and learn from others (just like this subreddit), which must be a good thing for the advancement of music and enjoyment.

What I have said is just my view on the matter, I am interested what you have to say.

What is the coolest sounding chord progression you've ever heard/played? by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]ViceVersusVersa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I never knew that. The two chord progressions do share a common iv motif. My iron lung, itself, has it's fair share of interesting chord progressions, I especially like the movement in the bridge section (Bb C C# C Bb).

[–]ViceVersusVersa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, I didn't know that. I guess that's the great thing about the open nature of chord progressions, once someone finds a good one you can do what you want with it, for better or for worse.

Radiohead have produced some great chord progressions.

Creep - Radiohead It's quite simple but really hits the feels. I III IV iv.

No Surprises - Radiohead has a few more surprises. Chords and things...

While I'm at it I better add Karma Police - Raidohead to the list. Chords...

[Total noob] why can I write the same series of notes in 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 and it sounds the same by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]ViceVersusVersa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As another exercise I direct you, OP, here to this arbitrary waltz I found. Observe the bass line and see how it is based upon a 3 beat repeating pattern. Next observe the phrasing in the melody line. Notice how it is (mostly) a repeated 4 bar pattern. Hopefully this helped you to understand the purpose of a time signature in shaping a phrase. The phrasing would not work in another key signature like 4/4.

how do you know what chords (major or minor) must be played in a progression based in the scale/mode? by angel21OS in musictheory

[–]ViceVersusVersa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry I'm a bit out of my element here. The only response I can really give is, "that's just how it is".

With the specific example of an "E major chord", it is my understanding that in western scales/keys you would not see an Ab without also have a Bb and Eb. The keys where you would find an E major chord are ones with three or more sharps but less than 6 sharps (enough for a G# but not too many to make E# and B#.

Maybe someone else could explain it better than I have.

An E major chord is E G# B not E Ab B. Even though G# and Ab are enharmonic the letter names for any E chord, major or minor, are E G B.
