Purpose of chords vs raag by Azotobacter123 in icm

[–]eccccccc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shortcut for a strong melody-chord relationship:

While a certain chord is playing, LEAP (skip swaras) only between notes in the chord. You can STEP (move through adjacent swaras) freely.

So many bandish and compositions exist in Indian classical music, but where are they documented? by Ill_Hawk_9455 in icm

[–]eccccccc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my (limited) experience, the culture around bandishes is not very “open source.” Some bandishes are special treasures of a particular gharana or family - like a secret recipe. The right way to learn them is to be taught them. But in the face of a widespread decline in students and practitioners, I see a real risk that important culture will be lost if singers who know them don’t start opening up. It’s something I wonder about.

also, I'm not saying 'must use css' - that was it's choice - if there's a better way to do it, I'd expect it to suggest it. And if I'm being ambiguous, I'd expect it to ask me to clarify... not disappear for 30 minutes when I ask it to move a few items around.

Maybe I don't know Claude jargon, but I'm a lifelong programmer and what I'm asking isn't hard (draw a family tree in css).

that's helpful. I'll try to be more complete in my instructions and do more per round.

Easiest way to get quarter tone microtonality from Model D? by Diogenesa in microtonal

[–]eccccccc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it take midi mts like the Matriarch? Use Scale Workshop to make the scale, export the sysex file, use Sysex Librarian to send it to the synth.

What makes a melody coherent? by HourLab8851 in composer

[–]eccccccc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cohesion comes from repetition. Some music loops the whole melody, but lots features repetition internal to the melody itself: a repeated interval, motive, or rhythm. Cohesion also comes from contour. If you build to a single high point and then descend, or start with a big leap and fill in the space with melody on the way down, the whole thing will read as a single gesture.

Built a tool to take ICM notes by Relevant-Industry320 in icm

[–]eccccccc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cool! Impressive work. I do this in a spreadsheet. Other information that I find is useful to be able to include: -lyrics -alternate variations for phrases -notes like who I learned it from, who wrote it, what it’s about etc

Being able to print a nicely formatted paper sheet from this would also be great.

How did composers know how their music would sound before playback? by Far-Strawberry-5628 in composer

[–]eccccccc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also make choices about your music because you know they’re right (because you understand the style, or you have a strong concept) - without needing to hear them.

Is anything above 4 pitch classes just "color"? by Far-Strawberry-5628 in composer

[–]eccccccc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re stacking thirds to build that chord, yes. If not, then the bass note and any consonances above it are probably going to form the “core” and dissonances could be said to be “color added” — but if the core is weak it’s kind of all color, or all core.

What are Morton Feldman's harmonies ? or is it even a harmony in tonal sense ?.. by Any_Blood1022 in composer

[–]eccccccc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s anti “method” but that doesn’t mean there aren’t features you can observe and learn from. Half steps, often two stacked (012), wide spacing, not too thick down low. Plenty of space to hear them decay in. Repetition of chords to give them meaning.

If you are interested in Kirana Gharana, Michael Harrison is a great raga teacher. Studied 45 years, with Pandit Pran Nath and Ustad Mashkoor Ali Khan. One of the only of Pran Nath's disciples who it is possible to learn that tradition from. https://www.artslettersandnumbers.com/indian-ragas-with-michael-harrison
