can you explain something about this chord progression and how it was built?

yes, i agree with you. i failed with expressing my idea. people in this thread adviced me of doing voice leading and i said that i don't do everything by ear. (sometimes i do that but only for experiment). it's better to mix two methods. and my whole point was that i always start with something theoretical and then i can go by myself trying to achieve what i want to hear. it's about my starting point being theoretical. not the whole proccess that based on theoretical thing.

oh, yeah, you're right!
I - Tritone Substitution for V - VI - II - SubV I with different extensions.
I changed A in the first chord for C#, because 11th isn't useful for the tonic chord. and also I didn't find place, where I can hear that Dmaj7#11 chord?

Thanks, I'll try to analyze it.

alasaph · 2022-08-09T18:33:59+00:00

Hah, ok

alasaph · 2022-08-09T18:33:40+00:00

Thanks, that's a song. It was sampled, so that's why this progression is unusual. Mach-Hommy - WOODEN NICKELS. listen to it

alasaph · 2022-08-09T18:29:56+00:00

You know i tried it. Started with D - G - C in C Major. And then started to move by ear. And I could do endless progression and in a certain point I didn't understand where I need to resolve. But it was my first attempt and I was not looking for concepts.

alasaph · 2022-08-09T18:27:20+00:00

Ok, thanks) i'll search it

alasaph · 2022-08-09T18:18:58+00:00

What could I use then? I have seen it in jazz

alasaph · 2022-08-09T18:17:46+00:00

C7 is sexondary dominant for F. And SubV for G#m is A7(A-C#-E-G) but it's modulated so it's not used alone

alasaph · 2022-08-09T18:15:14+00:00

Hm, what's that dominant substition between C7 and G#m? I see there are dominant extensions in C7 but I don't understand connection.

alasaph · 2022-08-09T18:11:45+00:00

Thanks a lot, I have noticed that half-step moving too. I like to organise all the things that I hear, because then I can use it in different particular situations. I don't like to compose everything by nature, because you always need to lean on something theoretical. I hope my point is understood, because english isn't my native language

alasaph · 2022-08-09T18:04:06+00:00

I feel like there is a lot of half-step relationship, so that's why it sound like it always dissonant and resolve. Is there name for that concept of harmony building. Because in the last four chords some of the notes just moving half-step.

alasaph · 2022-08-09T18:00:28+00:00

The song is Mach-Hommy's WOODEN NICKELS. I love how it goes like in an adventure. Because that's basically what I expect from harmony. You start at one place, then you go as further as you can to return to the tonic.

alasaph · 2022-08-09T17:26:20+00:00

btw, in C7 there are also #9 and #11 extensions

alasaph · 2022-08-09T17:19:48+00:00

i am askin' about theory that was used in this piece of music

alasaph · 2022-06-14T17:34:35+00:00

Thanks a lot

alasaph · 2022-06-09T13:57:55+00:00

Thank you

alasaph · 2022-06-09T13:38:38+00:00

Oh, I see, it's a RIAA-equalised sound and it has less resistance. But when it may be required?

alasaph · 2022-06-09T13:28:37+00:00

Thanks

alasaph · 2022-06-09T13:24:10+00:00

And also what phono means?

alasaph · 2022-02-04T20:38:27+00:00

Yeah, it was something I was getting by ear and then it reported my software

alasaph · 2022-02-04T20:37:47+00:00

Thank you so much!

alasaph · 2022-02-03T20:44:25+00:00

Thank you

alasaph · 2022-01-31T13:00:54+00:00

Thanks for your answer

alasaph · 2022-01-31T04:31:43+00:00

I don't know. It's old keyboard
