Source Material Last month winner was protodome and like the other the title was quit disturbing, thinking about it it can't be worse than RZ the founder of the contest who was always calling his song noname or untitled. So now let's move to the next step, a link to protodome's MIDI: Protodome - It was better when it was in FL - MIDI __________________________________________________________________ Good luck everyone. Deadline 20th September Midnight US East Coast The contest is a monthly contest so the deadline is programmed to be the 3rd sunday of the month.

PROTO·DOME Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 But it was better in FL! Stupid Loopyfruits changing all the velocities when it rendered. Silly program. However I do love it to pieces. ^o^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabond23 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 SUUUUUURE it was! Anyways. Since i missed out on the last couple contests, i might actually do this one. I just subbed my entry for the PCR 152 challenge. I'm really diggin this tune though and since its not due for about 3 weeks now, i've got plenty of time to get it right.

Gario Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hey, I hear a classic 5-6 chromatic descenting progression there, don't I? I'll see if I can come up with something, but I do have my plate full. Nonetheless, I'll take a shot, I think. Give me two and a half weeks to do nothing then freak out on the last few days .

hewhoisiam Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hey, I hear a classic 5-6 chromatic descenting progression there. BAH. Every time I poke around where Gario is; he's talking about things I don't know again... I'll see if I can't get somefin worked out. At least 2, maybe 3 hours before the deadline.

WillRock Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 BAH. Every time I poke around where Gario is; he's talking about things I don't know again... Don't worry about it, gario speaks in crazy theory talk to confuse and annoy people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROTO·DOME Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hey, I hear a classic 5-6 chromatic descenting progression there, don't I? 1-5-minor5-4 actually. But yes! You win! Correct! *cheering* Yay! Go Garrrriiio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gario Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 1-5-minor5-4 actually. But yes! You win! Correct! Wait, your right... Ah well, the bass IS descending chromatically, right? Roman numerals are fine, too - most people know what they are (I - V - v - IV). Slippin' in the minor dominant to throw my analysis off, aren't ya?! Hewhoisiam, your analysis was waaay better than my short one here - yours had something like twelve chords in it (while mine has a measly four). Give yourself more credit .

jabond23 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 ummm..... YEAH!!! I was TOTALLY going to say that, but gosh darn the luck. Gario beat me to it! :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROTO·DOME Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Wait, your right... Ah well, the bass IS descending chromatically, right? Roman numerals are fine, too - most people know what they are (I - V - v - IV). Slippin' in the minor dominant to throw my analysis off, aren't ya?! Yeah, I guess so, however the bassline isn't that straight forward- but for simplicity’s sake that's a yes. I wasn't too sure how many people understood the numerals- but that's cool, you're right I-V-v-IV but there's a bunch of nineths and sixths in various places too. ^o^ And hey! I like my piece only having four chords!!! EDIT- You'll find that there's a chromatic note decending but not really in the bass. I'll give a break down in C major: We have a C chord which then goes to a G. The chromaticism is in the first note of C to the third in G. We get the third flattened in Gminor and decends again to the third in F. Meaning we get a run of C, B, Bb, A. Whilst I do utilise this in the bassline (perhaps- I can't remember) the chromaticism is more implied through the harmonies. I dunno if you've noticed but I tend to do this a lot in my chord sequences. A big favorite of mine is C, Gminor, F, Fminor. There's no chromaticism between the C and the Gminor, but from then on it works under the same principle, a decending third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gario Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 You don't know what can of worms your opening when you make a theory assault on me, ProtoDome . I'll be nice to you, though - you know not what you do, lol. If you want to know what is going on harmonically, your suspending the tonic root throughout the song in the bass (well, in most of it, anyway). Functionally speaking, therefore, you are not moving in chords at all - instead, your cycling through a series of passing motions that keep returning to the tonic chord again. For example, the chromatic descending portion is moving from C, B, Bb, A, G (which is from the C chord again), while most of the other notes follow suite in a similar manner. Thus, technically the entire song (except for the beginning which does not have this sustained note) is simply an expansion of the tonic with cool color motion to keep things interesting. The illusion of chords comes from the fact that you move your voices so they continually create chords above the tonic root in the bass - and the lowest of those notes create the descending chromatic pattern that we all hear and love. Indeed, the 'bass' in that case is using the motion, but the roots, of course, do not. You are using the chords (with figured bass) I - V6 - v6 - IV6 which does complete the chromatic descending pattern in the bass (if you ignore the root tonic that is sustained through the entire piece, of course). I think I have to remix this, now - I've spent too much time analysing it to ignore it, now. I'm going to change the structure a bit when I remix this, though, just to change things up a little.

PROTO·DOME Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 And I really can't argue with you there Gario, you're right. I really dig the whole tonic pedal thing, it's annoying me that I didn't point that out earlier- a heck loada my stuff does that. Perhaps laziness? If we're working under one key essentially then the melodic line can remain simple and doesn't have to deviate anywhere when the 'chords change'. And anyway, I do change chords, if you noticed the other two chords that resolve back to the root. ¬__¬ But yeah, looks as if you've gotta remix now... *whistles* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbeat Acolyte Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 *Is overwhelmed by all the theory talk* I might perhaps try to mix something up for this, if i can make anything cool in time =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabond23 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Its an awesome source, and i'd love to remix it. The problem is that my DAW won't let me export anything as a MIDI file. Only mp3, ogg, wav, or wma. That, and i don't know how to fully use FL 8... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
