    For those of you that went nuts trying to follow-up (like me), between the weird square pad and the slow-refresh keyboard that lacks the C1-octave, here's the summary:
    10:47 - #1 Innocent Love
    - Key: G
    - Progression: I - V - IIIm - II - I
    - Ch. w/ extensions: Gadd9 - D5(add9) - Bm7 - A - Gadd9
    - Tricks: Make the "III" a "minor 7 chord"; For the "II", borrow the "Lidian chord" (Lidian sharps the IV! So C jumps to C#); For the rest, add "9s" for bright.
    13:44 - #2 Beautiful Sorrow
    - Key: Am (eolian)
    - Progression: Im - Vm - VI - IVm - VI - Im - IVm - IVm - Im
    - Ch. w/ extensions: Am(add9) - Em7 - FMaj7 - Dm9 - F - Am7 - Dm7 - Dm7(add11) - Am(add9)
    - Tricks: Make the "VI" always "major", the rest keep all minor. For the "IVm" in the middle, add extra-dissonance with both the "7" and the "9" for climax.
    16:36 - #3 Victorious Triumph
    - Key: Am (eolian)
    - Progression: Im - Vm - VII - IV - V - III - VII - IV
    - Ch. w/ extensions: Am7 - Em7 - G - D5 - C/E - CMaj7 - G - D/F#
    - Tricks: Avoid "9s". Play with the chord inversions. Borrow the last "IV" chord from Dorian.
    19:31 - #4 The Mysterious Epic
    - Key: D major (mixture with Frigian)
    - Progression: I - III - bII - I
    - Ch. w/ extensions: D - Fadd13 - EbMaj7 - D
    - Tricks: Start major, but borrow "bII" and "III" major chords from Frigian.
    21:37 - #5 Meditative Bliss
    - Key: B
    - Progression: I - I - IV - II - I - VIm - VIm
    - Ch. w/ extensions: Badd2 - B - Eadd9 - C#add9 - F#add2/A# - B - G#m - G#m7/F#
    - Tricks: Stay in the "I" an extra measure at the beginning, and the same for the "VIm" at the ending. Play with different bass notes. Use the "9s" a lot.
    25:17 - #6 Hateful Plot
    - Key: Cm
    - Progression: Im - IIIm - Im - IIIm - Im - bIVm - bVIIm - #IV - Im
    - Ch. w/ extensions: Cm/Eb - Ebm - Cm - Ebm - Cm/E - Em - Bbm - F#m - Cm
    - Tricks: Make all chords minor. Go back and forth between the "Im" and the "IIIm". At some point create a dissonance with a bass out of scale, after which you to jump out of the scale. (Cm/E > Em).
    27:24 - #7 An Amusing Classic
    - Key: E
    - Progression: I - V - VIm - I - VIm - I - V7 - I
    - Ch. w/ extensions: E - B - Am - C#m - E/G# - B7 - E
    - Tricks: Go back to the "I" frequently. Use the dominant at the end.
    29:37 - #8 Existential Dread
    - Key: -
    - Progression: -
    - Ch. w/ extensions: Am/C - Fm/C - Am/C - Cm - Adim - Fdim - Cdim - Fdim/B
    - Tricks: Use the minor third (C) as a pedal tone in the bass. First half use minor chords, second half use diminished chords.
    32:02 - #9 Endless Ascension
    - Key: -
    - Progression: -
    - Ch. w/ extensions: Gm7 - Am7 - Bm7add11 - Dm7add11 - Gm7 - Am7 - Aadd6 - Fadd2/C
    - Tricks: Keep most chords "minor 7", and add the 11s for extra brightness.
    35:21 - #10 World Domination
    - Key: G (Hungarian minor scale)
    - Progression: I - bV - b IIIm - V
    - Ch. w/ extensions: GmMaj7 - EbMaj7 - BbMaj7(b5)- Eb7
    - Tricks: Keep most chords "Major 7"

    Valence isn't a measurement of the type of emotion, it's specifically refers to how pleasant or unpleasant the physiological response is being interpreted in the context of the environment & situation. Valence and arousal are the closest we get to consistent & measurable variables when it comes to emotions. Although there's a lot of functional value to using labels like "happy, sad, etc.", they take the science back to the pre-Darwinian biological essentialism way of conceptualising emotions that Paul Ekman has been selling (notably to Disney/Pixar) for decades. That is when he's not selling his totally legit "how to detect liars via facial microexpressions" courses to airport security and government agencies, with no adverse outcomes at all, besides all the pseudoscience.

    Good video I didnt know about the Berklee map! the piano sound for the chords is way too brutal tho, kind of gets in the way for feeling the chords by being unuanced, should probably focus more on diving right in the chords and have them played with the right amount of velocity (and probably a better piano vst)

    I find it hard to judge the emotional impact of these progressions because 1. The piano sound is too percussive 2. Many of the chords are in a too low octave. Number one makes everything somewhat aggressive, number two makes it hard to hear the chords clearly. For a subject likes this you should have been aware if this.

    Alternative analysis of progression 1 "Innocent Love:" key of D, 4-1-6-5, super basic, same progression as so many bland overproduced tracks form the last decade. I really tried to hear this in lydian, but the four inescapable chords of pop are too deeply embedded in my brain.

    I think giving the progression chords 1 beat each is kinda like introducing the color palette. If you were to change the duration of the chords and rhythm, i recon the perception of the progression would also change. I think this is instructive as a way to expand possibilities, but I'd like to see how rhythm and duration helps to accentuate how the progressions hit

    Thank you for this video, the voicing are beutiful. 🥰 I have a question, In progression 1 you are using slash chords with D in the bass, but in your example G is in the bass for all your voicing (/G) and the progression is 1 Major, V major, iii minor and II major (lydian). Doesn't that make the progression in G = G, D, B min and A.
    The chords listed in the progression 1 one example appear to be, I Major, V major, iii minor, II major or G,D,Bmin,D.
    It appears as if the II chord replaces the V chord. I can see that II Chord (A) is inbeded in the last chord (D -referenced in your progression as DMajor add 4), is this why you refer to the 'DMajor add 4" Chord as a II chord?
    Also in reference to the slash chords, it's my understanding that the note on the right side of the slash is the bass note. If this correct then would it make sense to refer to all these chords as "/G" since G is in the bass on all your voicing. It's apparent you know your voicing inside and out, I'm trying to catch up to your, so any help would be appreciated, Curious minds want to Know🙂. Thank you for this wonderful video, I'll be dissecting it with pleasure and incorporating your lesson into my musical life. Your fan...K

      @metamindmusicofficial  3 дні тому +1

      I mention this in the video - it’s an impossible task to capture all the nuances and variables that contribute to the emotion of a piece of music.
      Timbre, tempo, arrangement, harmony, melody, sound design, instrumentation, context… the list is endless.
      That’s not including how we label feelings with concepts - which everyone could be doing slightly differently.
      I chose chord progressions since I think it’s a single element that can help display what CAN create emotion. If you disagree with my interpretations - that’s totally cool.

You should take as much time as it took you to send your negativity through the interwebz to the author to do a lot of self reflecting and ask yourself WHY does this bother me? And WHAT is actually driving you crazy...because if it truly is an animated background and the word YO, then perhaps instead of being rude and disrespectful and spreading negativity...might I suggest you stick to BOOKS instead of UA-cam videos? I am completely serious. Also, you might want to survey your friends and family and see how many agree that you might have some control/domination issues that you might want to work on. A polite, well mannered, and well adjusted person would just thank the video creator for all the knowledge they shared instead of focusing on things that YOU do not like. Good luck!
