Necrox Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Could I get some outsider feedback on this? I can't really tell if my ideas sound good to anyone's ears but mine sometimes. https://soundcloud.com/twilight-stream/nebular-ruins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 It's an interesting concept, but the beginning sounds (up to 0:22) are really abrasive and piercing, and the dissonance doesn't really sound right from what I can tell. I think you have a few different keys going on. There's a way to write good dissonance, and this dissonance here sounds less natural than I would imagine you were intending to go for. It sounds like you mixed minor intervals with diminished scales and tritone intervals, which theoretically clashes easily, often. Try sticking to diminished and tritone, or sticking to minor, or sticking to minor and diminished. Mixing diminished and tritone is hard, but mixing minor and tritone is just weird. Worth pursuing though, but it'll take a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrox Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thank you! Do you know where I can get a good free ear training course, because I seem to keep running into stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I don't know about a course, per se, but I think looking at how zircon writes his atonal music and trying to predict how he writes it can help you to write it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
