This example started as an experiment with the Kontakt West-African library, that I had never used before. Then I decided to incorporate PC-Sets for a modern touch. The brass + rhythm phrases remind of Bob Brookmeyer (modern harmony) & Henry Mancini (instrumentation), and there's a few bars of Eric Dolphy-esque flute. Quite pleased with the outcome myself, and may it serve as a source for others to experiment with the Schillinger-Hindemith tension control technique within extended tonality.
Thanks for the feedback. Forgive my language deficiency. Is it 'dope' as in the song 'The Gentleman is a Dope'? You will have noticed that this last example is not a strict, standard diatonic-symmetric progression. However it demonstrates harmony tension level control, various modes in the bass with a common tonic (G), and PC-Set usage in a not so common musical idiom.
@@FransAbsil 'Dope' is a modern slang term (probably started in the 80s or early 90s, mainly in hiphop) that has been appropriated into American English at large. Counterintuitively, it means "really awesome", not "really stupid". ("Dr Dre hooked the beat up and indeed it was dope" - famous rap line talking about how sick the beat for the song is). I would imagine the term is not nearly as common in Europe. :)
@Master Chain Thanks for updating me on American hiphop slang. Masterly to come up with a modern quote to counter my outdated song title. Maybe I should give up reading Emily Dickinson and move on to something more contemporary. To bridge the generation gap, maybe I'll start with 'White punks on dope' :-)
outstanding!
Thanks!
THANK YOU!
You're welcome. Good to hear that you discovered another useful tutorial on this channel.
The last piece is amazing!

Great as always. That last musical example is dope!
