Which key? 🤔 🎼 🎶
Help me write some music.. ✨
I'm currently still in my robe drinking coffee, and I'm listening to Lorne Balfe's score for the most recent Mission Impossible flick (the one with my beautiful wife, Hayley Atwell). Balfe composes this chord progression in certain cues (e.g., "Get Out Now" and "He Calls Himself Gabriel") that is so, so good. The modulations and slippage between keys are like something out of Richard Wagner, especially Tristan und Isolde. I love music that does that, stretching the limits of tonality and extending harmonic language. More of that, please!

If writing represented all the gestures and inflections and tonalities of speech, it would be far too tedious to write and too complex to read. It would also leave too little scope for reinterpretation. Linguistic notation, like musical notation, if it tries to say too much, ends up by saying nothing.

There’s something so brutally raw about the tonality of the Russian language. Like when someone is talking down to you because you’ve failed to understand something they see as basic, you can FEEL the massive drop in tone in the last word of the phrase, and there’s nothing in any of the languages I know that cuts deeper than that.
