Testing Combinations And Flows Of Dyads
(TM writes:)
"Testing Combinations And Flows Of Dyads" is perhaps another work in the Composition Shift period as well as another important work for me. Every track is important, of course, but this is especially so. I know such an academic title in a way does not attract SoundCloud listeners at a glance, but it was actually a big next step to me.
I came up with an idea of using dyads (two-note chords) as shown in the notes, so that it should enable us to make harmonies and phrases unintended, somewhat differently from our scale music works.
"Unintended" ones FMT often aim are completely different from improvisation. As a matter of fact, all our tracks are programmed with the notation scores and DAW and do not contain improvisation at all.
I like improvisation in theatre arts and music but it heavily depends on what I call physicalism. I mean, what detemines physicalistic art works is the physical conditions and constraints like the performers' techniques, experiences, physical habits, instruments, site, acoustics, audience and whatnot. I'm not going to say it's non-sense but it's just one way.
Just one way but it's all the way so far. There must be something suitable for the 21st century (or the 2000s) and that is what FMT are pursuing with great help of technologies. (For more details please refer to "What Is FMT's Music?")
Atonality, complex rhythms, complex beauty and unintended harmonies were experimented in this track.
To be continued.
