Anyway, so I took this idea and turned it into my own piece of music. It's on my YouTube channel:
I don't want to brag here, but I really like listening to this song. But enough of that, I want to explain how it works:
The piece, in its written form, consists of 30 distinct chordal changes. What I did was I played each part, individually, on a synthesizer, extending each chord for as long as I felt sounded right. Since it is fifteen minutes long, this averages out to a change every thirty seconds.
Somehow, this kind of slow progression seems to hold my attention. Maybe it's because of the ringing reverberation between notes? I don't know. Anyway, what do you think?
I listened to it in the background as I wrote some posts ... very mellowing : o )
