The Music Interval Theory Podcast

<p>SHOWNOTES</p> <p>There's no way to get around triads in music, no matter the style or genre! Some composers might associate a triad with "simple-minded", right? Well, let's find out together why that's not true at all!</p> <p></p> <p>For more information about the shortest and most efficient way to become a better composer, please visit: </p> <p>https://musicintervaltheory.academy/</p> <p></p>

<p>SHOWNOTES</p> <p>Many composers believe that writing music is just one step, which is "write the music". While it actually can work that way, it's not efficient and, most often, a waste of time. Instead, let's talk about the first step in the process of composition, and I'll even give you the formula to create endless musical ideas! Sounds good?

SHOWNOTES Ok, the pentatonic world will probably be within the repertoire of most guitar players! But do you know what "Power Pentatonic" is? ... It's pentatonic on steroids using interval theory and opens up many musical doors you can enter to enhance any given story. Let's listen to how this sounds and where to use it most efficiently when composing.

<p>SHOWNOTES<br><br>Way too many composers don't follow any process when creating music. Guess what? You won't control your musical outcome if you don't know HOW to get results. In this episode, Frank shares his best practices for setting up a process so that you turn into a music-making machine!<br><br>1) Gathering materials<br>2) Sketching out the idea<br>3) Developing the idea<br><br>Link to episode 5 - 7 Reasons Why You Should Sketch:<br>https://open.spotify.com/episode/16dPAY3tCslNQxQBuWBuL0?si=V47BuI6MT0u_N7aJl0Edrg<br><br>For more information about the shortest and most efficient way to become a better composer, please visit: <br>https://musicintervaltheory.academy/</p>

SHOWNOTES This is one of those special episodes where TC and Frank step into a casual conversation and reflect on some previous episodes.

SHOWNOTES Today, we want to orchestrate on the guitar using the outside interval (OI). You will be surprised about how many musical opportunities show up when focusing on the outside interval of any given vertical structure. The guitar is an excellent instrument for playing those wide intervals, but they also work nicely in the orchestra or other arrangements.

SHOWNOTES '13's are unique - that's one octave and one half-step. It can stick out very quickly in compositions but also provides many opportunities. It's essential to know its unique character to use it most efficiently. It's time for dissonance!

SHOWNOTES Guitar players love the Lydian mode (and some of them don't even know that they do :D ...). Today, let's dive into the Lydian sound and see how it can create wonderful sounds on the guitar and composition. It's actually fascinating how quickly one can transition into intervallic thinking when starting from a scale, so let's jump into the content right away.

SHOWNOTES It's about time to dive deeper into one of the spiciest intervals we have available; the minor second, or the '1' how we call it in interval theory. We'll listen to many applications on the guitar, but the concepts work the same way on any other instrument and composition.

SHOWNOTES How do you actually integrate interval theory into your Diatonic knowledge? Well, it's simpler than you think. Listen to Frank explain the 'big picture of music theory'. In the end, we all want to create fresh and great music, and that's why you should have a solid understanding of that big picture. It lets you navigate freely on the map of music theory!

SHOWNOTES TC loves applying interval theory to the guitar. You are most likely familiar with how the Diatonic system handles chords. In Interval Theory, we think of vertical structures as interval combinations (ICs) in interval theory. This shift in perspective opens up an entirely new world of sounds that is not easily accessible using conventional theory.
