I can't stand Glass! Steve Reich without the genius baggage. Roedelius is too juvenile for me, way too many major chords. It's all a gentle ballet now, isn't it?

cheers,

This is where I part ways.  I don't love chords. It's all tension and release for me.  Had to write a Copland-esque piece at work today...entirely linear and horizontal and not a "chord" to be found...just the vodka talking now.

Roberto you have joined the correct group of people.
Are there any other chords besides minors?

Surely we all love miserable self indulgent crap, why else would we be here? Bring on the block chords!
