Download the free guide "5 Spells Every Composer Needs." These spells are interval-based composition techniques that work like magic. In this guide, I explain 5 of my most-used spells with examples so that you can implement them in your compositions as well. https://musicintervaltheory.academy/spells/ In this episode, Frank explores the true power of the minor second — not just as a small half-step, but as a source of stored energy and emotional tension. Discover why it’s so much more than a dissonance to fix, and how using it with intention can transform your compositions.
