  • A Tiny Harmonic Move That Always Inspires Me

    Some harmonic ideas feel like old friends, gestures that don’t draw attention to themselves, yet always shift the colour of a phrase in a way that feels honest. One of my favourites is the gentle move from iii – vi. In C major, that’s Em – Am. There is nothing flashy about it. But the…

  • Why the Interval of a Third Is the Secret to So Much Tonal Colour

    If we look closely at tonal harmony, we can notice something interesting. So many of the most expressive colours in music come from one simple interval, the third.

I have been having another look at this platform and have been thinking more about it and…

  • Computer Issues – Resolved?

    Some of you may remember I was having a lot of issues with my audio PC and that it kept crashing, programs were shutting down randomly, and even resetting things was nigh on impossible. I also had the laggy mouse and keyboard problems even when the thing was working. Well, I am happy to report…
