brian trageskin Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 missing the short high stabs though, they appear unconnected until they slowly and slightly descend in pitch, then they become the missing 50% of the whole. i'm confused as to what you're referring to but obviously, the 5th chord of the progression is extended by the tone cluster-like content of the "reverbed" layer. apart from that, the progression is pretty straightfordward and uses classic musical devices like modal interchange, modulation, chord inversion, etc. the voice leading is clever though.

They're placed in a quarter-note triplet pattern that starts on beat '2' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian trageskin Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 well i checked and i don't see how those stabs add anything to the progression since they're chord tones. i'm much more interested in the same-note "wak-wak--waak riff" that first appears at 1:05 cause it does act as a nonchord tone in places, leading us to more exotic scales than major/minor.

Guest Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 my favorite moments of theirs harmonically are when they throw in really harmonically dense, morphing drones rather than more 'traditional' tidy, easy to pin down chord progressions. just usually fits their aesthetic better imo.

brian trageskin Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 @ hello spiral sorry but i really don't see how this melodic line adds anything to the progression. it doesn't induce directionality, tension or ambiguity, it just adds stability to the already stable chords, which is very redundant. unlike the free jazz-like melodic line that starts at 3:01, which is cool and relevant.
