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,

fritz

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!

Mark

PS link doesn't show on the list site, so will have to catch up with it later, sounds good though.

and so am I...I just bought a M-Tron pro...and as soon as I understand how this beast works I promise to self-indulge in never ending massive tron chords, brass, violins, accordion, whatever comes across...all minor of course...not a single 'happy' note...something like Tangerine Dream's "Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares" or Popol Vuh's "Aguirre"...on a loop....extremely boring and self-indulgent AND pretentious...all true qualities of a Tron lover.
