RE: Art Explosion Week 22 Entry - Original Guitar and Voice Piece

in #dtube7 years ago

Thanks, I appreciate the depth of your impression! I'm using some pretty out there harmony - the bassline in this piece often moves in and out of the "main" key (which itself is heavily subject to fluctuation), which is a device that composers and music theorists refer to as "bitonality" or "polytonality." Stravinsky's Rite of Spring is one of the first pieces that utilized this to a heavy extent, and for a more modern example, also on my instrument, Allan Holdsworth perfected an implementation of polytonal harmony in a jazz/improvisation context.
