2 Line "Triad Pairs" - Ezequiel Ocampo

Hi, folks! This time I want to share with you some research on the concept 2 LINE, which lies in playing two lines at the same time. The first time I heard of this concept was thanks to the book “Contrapuntal Improvisation” by Juampy Juarez, who attributes its creation to Jimmy Wyble. My personal idea was to apply this on Triad Pairs, which turned out to be interesting sonorities using only two triads. In the following examples, we can see the C major triad and the D major triad combined.

If you’d like to have the files in Guitar Pro or you have any question regarding the lesson, you can send me an email to ezequielocampoclases@gmail.com

Enjoy it!

Atonal Funk Rules - Maycown Reichembach

Hi folks!

In this column I will show you the structure of the song called "Atonal Funk Rules that belongs to my new album" Way From Home ".
It contains basically three parts, the first is funk / rock on the key of Am, then a more Latin part where I made several II V I and some substitutions of chords and finally the atonal part. Atonal refers to that part has no tonal axis, that is, the notes move through an indefinite harmonic series, no note will exercise attraction on any other sound of that series, not to be confused with Dodecafonismo that does have a harmonic series.
The result is a very particular sonority, and very little used in popular music divided to its complexity, even more so if we think of the rhythmic part that was written to cause the same expression.
P / D: the drummer of this musical work is the multi-awarded drummer Simon Phillips (Toto, Jeff Beck, Hiromi), Caio Slonzo who played with Herbie Hancook and Alejandro Grinschpun
Namaste!

Polytonality - Juampy Juarez

Polytonality

Bitonal and tritonal ideas

Twenty century classical composers get tired of tonal aspect of music, so they began to start to explore new stuff like 12 tone techniques, Atonalism, and more. One of that new devices was Polytonality, it means more than one tonality at the same time. Composers like Charles Ives and Stravinsky composed and explored with this tool. In Jazz, experimental compositions and improvisations belonging to legends like Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman used widely Polytonalism. Modern piano players improvise and arrange within, thinking in Bill Carrothers and Paul Bley, also Brad Mehldau. Hope you can enjoy these ideas a lot as I did it.
