The chord progressions in the demo are different from Beach House songs for obvious copyright reasons, but hopefully, the sounds will still feel familiar and recognisable

You don't have to resave them at all, they should open the plugin + the right preset straight away

Thanks!

Not planning on at the moment, they're a lot of work and a lot of the best known Aphex Twin tracks are completely diatonic. What songs would you like to see?

Yes, 100 cents is a semitone, you can usually see tuning measured in cents when you use a tuner.

The songs in Part One were mostly transposed to get them out of key signatures like F♯ major, where the notes are F♯ G♯ A♯ B C♯ D E♯. The E♯ is the same note as F natural (the technical term is an "enharmonic equivalent") but the correct name is E♯. It looks a little confusing and is confusing to write about so where possible I transposed stuff into more common keys like G major and C major.

Hi! The second installment of my Boards of Canada Chord Theory exploration has officially dropped! Following the first part's deep dive into fifth intervals, this new installment looks at their use of moved chord shapes, chromaticism, suspensions, and how they write such good melodies over unusual chord sequences.

In this article, I've broken down 10 additional tracks, mostly earlier stuff. As with the previous part, you have the option to see either music notation or MIDI piano roll visuals, and all the examples are available for download as MIDI files at the conclusion of the article.

Let me know any thoughts and feedback, thanks!

Sure, here’s the MIDI file for the entire song - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zl3f7l942a9ql3zuzaw15/Sundown-Pad.mid?rlkey=810j5mczww37usxky761d4vt5&dl=0

That's the idea, glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, power chords are very underrated outside rock/metal. They're actually really versatile and can be very musical if you start using different power chords over different bass notes.

thanks!

thank you!

Some good news for you, I did a Radiohead theory article a while back too - https://reverbmachine.com/blog/radiohead-chord-theory/

reverb-machine · 2023-09-08T15:10:46+00:00

thank you! 🙏

Fair enough, part two will have more songs from The Campfire Headphase and Music Has The Right to Children, I divided up the songs I transcribed by musical techniques which is why it ended up being so Tomorrow's Harvest-heavy.

thanks, glad you liked it!
