Hi,
Thank you, I will go for further study on this. But I feel like working on the circle 5th is 'the next step' of the harmony system. The permutation I made collects all possible combination and named them with conventional chord naming rules, and…
Well if I may make a suggestion.. I would make the basis for the permutation the perfect fifth, not the triad. This is a much more logical, consistent and musical method in my opinion. It also matches normal music theory much better.
I would als…
That's true! This is more like a set theory. The main goal here is to collect all combinations and then sort them to have a list of 'reasonable' chord and scale. All note combinations has been generated and is possible indeed, this is the general st…
Hi,
(I'm sorry for the delay, I had to reinstall the browser)
I mean the basic is the triad of root, 3rd and the 5th. To think of a chord name, I always look for changes that affected the 3rd and 5th note.
The system differ enharmonic equivalence fo…
What I do think about using your particular system for chord classification is that you seem to allow no intervals more remote than a diminished sixth and augmented third. (G# - Eb and Eb - G#).
Yes, this is to prevent complexity and confusion on …
I use a somewhat simpler system and classification that allows me to process muscal information faster. I differentiate between intervals and chords. A chord must have at least three notes. Theres are only 5 prime chord types (from which all other c…
Thank you everyone!
I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the reason why I started this. I started to do the research because:
Nowadays, composers/songwriters/musicians demand more resource for their music. They then begin to experiment to find unique mu…
