You get a lot of neat ambiguous chords. The natural triad is the augmented chord. I like this scale because it puts you into different musicial spaces. I tend to get trapped in the blues styles because I learned that when I was a kid and it's hard to out grow. _________________ --Howard

I don't use minor scales as I don't like the artificially raised 7th. I use most of the modes, but perhaps favour the dorian, phrygian, locrian and aeolian. I don't like the lydian mode as it is too perky. |

that could be a good reason to compose a piece on that mode. I once composed a song called "Lydia". you can probably imagine the basic mode I used _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube

I can't remember which composer, but there was one who said that he especially liked the Gm chord specifically because it "makes women weep." I learned that in my Music Theory class in high school. I do like the Gm7 chord, but to this day, my wife has been especially benign to most of my music in general _________________ One Player Game | OPG on SoundCloud |

i try writing in a key i haven't written in for a long time, or deliberately tune oscillators by ear in hz in such a way that i'm not thinking about the key as such.
also, i love it when i have the balls to write something atonal. tonality is a hard habit to break and i'm not a massive fan of writing serialistically. |

I have NEVER ever composed a track in a major chord. Most of my tracks are Bmin, Bflat minor, Csharp minor, D minor and E flat minor.

Well...
none of these chords has a *proper* name. Some of these are pretty dissonant. I mean do you actually use strings and press simultaneously all the notes in a 12 tone scale? In an arpeggio it would be chromatic but I just don't see how it could work with strings.
An interesting and very simple variation, say in F minor, would be, instead of F3-Ab3-B3, F3-B3-Ab4. I use this chord with strings and it always gives a soothing impression.
I remember that in Keyboard magazine, there was this editor - I think his name was Dave Stewart (a very funny guy btw) - who was really into chord stuff. You can be amazed with all the things you can do, weird chord progressions, various voicings and inversions. It just makes you think why most of the tracks are I-V-I.
