    Given perfect continuity of tone values - cosmic glissando. You pick a point with which to begin and, bingo, a Universe of harmonics. Beginning within the human auditory spectrum is a plus if you wish to communicate across infinite potential. Love yer Zen detachment. It's all a bit of a charade, eh.

    Are dissonant notes always in key? or do they go out of key. Pls help

    • @HSHDaGo
      @HSHDaGo 5 років тому +3

      Both !
      In a major key, starting from the root/fundamental, your most consonant notes paired together (we call this intervals) are the 3rd, 5th and the octave. The rest of the notes ( 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th) will all have a degree of dissonance in them but they're still in the same key.
      Now, for example if you're in C major, the notes in key are C D E F G A B (C) - if you play notes out of key, let's say C and Bb or C and F# you will certainly get stronger dissonance but also more powerful resolution options
      Hope it helped fren

    • @COMMUNITYRAINYCITY
      @COMMUNITYRAINYCITY 4 роки тому

      @@HSHDaGo when you say more powerful resolution options do you mean resolving back to the root, 5th, 7th etc from a note out of the scale will sound more like more absolute ( more wow etc ) when resolving ? As opposed to using a 2nd, 4th, 6th etc
      in the same key ?

    • @HSHDaGo
      @HSHDaGo 4 роки тому

      Rainy City Music I’m not sure I can explain this well, but a resolution is when you have tension (dissonance) and then you fix that tension into consonant sound.
      So with notes that exist in the key, you can create tensions that come naturally - for example in C Maj try playing B F and resolving to C E
      (All of these are notes in the key of C).
      Then, if you use notes that are not in the key, you can create uglier tensions and the uglier/harsher the dissonance is, the better it feels when you resolve it (that’s what I mean with “more powerful”) - in C Maj play G B F Ab and resolve it to C E G
      (I’m which Ab is not in the key of C, but it creates a Spicy minor 9th together with the G)
