turns out....I kinda go crazy for this mixolydian mode....and so does Hall and Oates. :) among others....
something that turns something predictable a minor sounding chord....something prepared and set up....and turns into something....unexpected.....
and....
a bit sweeter and happier...
it's the mixolydian mode....that I think really catches my ear and changes things up...that and this....concept of portamento....
I think I finally might have some kind of break through with my little music project.
so yeah, instead of going with a straight up, major scale....the 7th tone is flattened....and it's that thing that we notice....
the noticing of something is what....that contrast....something that stands out....
it's just....in our make up to notice something in contrast to something else...you know? it's how we learn....compare....
it's how we figure out what we want, sometimes.... it's as simple as a contrastive analysis....
but yeah, the same holds true for most things....it's important for us to notice things....to be able to see something or hear something....means...there's a good chance it differs than other things around it....
hey....you know....nature....bees.....and snakes....and other poisonous dangerous things.....give you something to notice....
there's a thing in Linguistics.....that, if what you are learning in another language is very close to what you know in your own language....it's very difficult to learn....and that things need to be a clear contrast in order to acquire them....
we love contrast.....
and I think this is what the mixolydian mode offers in music....a tonal contrast....one single note different....
and it changes it up....enough...to really stand out...and it just....makes my ears happy....
peace...and love....and solving little mysteries....which lead to bigger mysteries.....
which lead to extensive.....research.....and finding the crazy connection....between....all things, great and small.
