We internalize our theory so we can forget it. Could be simple percussive tonal clusters or recently I been (probably overusing) using some super locrian tricks. My stuff works best when I just do it. New devices sometimes fall flat because they are not instinctive and I think too much.

By the way, it's very quiet.

Baldwin Funster Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 I wonder if the dopamine addiction of outside sounds just leads to the need to go farther outside and away from simple melody. I think about Trane and how he sounded more out than in on later stuff, at least to me. I'm sure the more dedicated fan would say "what? I don't see what you mean". 2 Quote FunMachine.

CEB Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I don’t know. I find myself using a lot more tension over time. Not so much that I use increased tension but that I do it more often. It may just be driven by the genres I am playing more often these days but the dopamine idea is interesting.
