I read the title and thought to myself: well who doesn't

Good luck playing tradition Cuban music, or Stax/Vault r'n'b with enriched chords. It would, the way the progressions are, sound soft and schmaltzy. I myself love writing with 9/11/13s etc but a triad has a fantastic, straight and solid attitude to it.

my thoughts word for word

Pop and trap artist

@robbiepeterh Personal preference, aesthetic choice (:

Leonard Cohen didn’t like 7ths or 9ths. You won’t find many on any of his albums. He even wrote a song called the Jazz Police which was inspired by him constantly telling his band, which at the time was comprised of mostly jazz musicians, to stick to simple triads and avoid 7ths and 9ths.

Great playing ! Love that style of writing / voicing to bits. I think it is such a signature 'japanese' thing for several reasons: French late 1800s early 20th classical stuff (mostly Debussy & Ravel) has tons of those colors and is very popular in japan (ie. all the Tomita renditions, for example). That influence is especially present when you hear the stacked 4th-ish bits of the Joe Hisaishi OSTs with the main theme on flute & oboe unison, that's very Ravel who funnily enough was pretty obsessed with 'orientalism'.) Then you got the enormous influence of American modern jazz (those famous stacked 4ths, 'so what' voicings where originally lifted by Bill Evans from Ravel again) and fusion. A musician that basically built his whole sound around parralel Add2 voiced chord progression is Roy Ayers. Eventually that got incorporated into 80s american R'n'b wich is super sophisticated harmonically (stuff like Anita Baker), wich the Japanese mixed into whats now called City Pop. I think the reason why that stuff works so well is because many of the japanese scales are pentatonic, and as all pentatonic they love being pitted against fourthy, add2 type chord progressions.

Thank you for your elaborate comment. I am checking out your music suggestions which are quite helpful to further dive into these particular Japanese styles. Much obliged!!

I love ryuichi sakamoto

He's amazing, isn't he?

Hey, thank you! (:

Aquatic Ambience is my favorite 10 hour loop of all time

Who doesn’t like 7ths or 9ths? Leonard Cohen didn’t like 7ths or 9ths. You won’t find many on any of his albums. He even wrote a song called the Jazz Police which was inspired by him constantly telling his band, which at the time was comprised of mostly jazz musicians, to stick to simple triads and avoid 7ths and 9ths. I love them but find that when I write songs I do prefer triads.

Interesting. 7ths and 9ths add different colors to chords so it's completely up to you to use them or not (:

thank you helped a lot :)

Thanks for watching! You're welcome!

amazing tips thanks a lot !

Happy to help! Thanks for watching!

If it's not an extended or sus chord then Joe Hisaishi is not interested.

I used to tell students the "secret" Hisaishi intro recipe: Sus chord with the flatted VI on the bass or flatted II. Parralel that stuff around in a meditation like tempo. Voila !

What keyboard is that? Nice playing btw

@Carlo Carosi It's an amazing midi-keyboard hands down (:

@pascalwoelk I looked at the keyboard in the video after reading this comment, then looked down and saw the exact same keyboard in front of me! Talk about bang for your buck eh?

Nectar Impact LX61. Thanks!

Hey man, amazing video effect how did you get it?

Final Cut Pro!

Bruh your anime esque filter aesthetic is niiiice

Such a wholesome dialogue c:

@TAANN Welcome!

@pascalwoelk oh thx!

@TAANN I used an effect in Final Cut Pro. Simple like that. Just drag and drop and you're done!

@pascalwoelk how'd you do it?? Thx for replying btw!

Huh, a "summer's day" reminds me of "way star", by rubba https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06wSBQmbV-w (at the 1:08 mark)

Thanks for watching and your recommendation!

Better than use the overused 5ths.

@David 26 A "rare definition" and a confusing one, admittedly. At music uni my teachers asked me to stick to common terminology if I happened to come up with "rare definitions". Especially when communicating in a group of students. I'm happy you stopped by and are engaging in this discussion. Have a nice day!

@gregorious Exactly. Thanks for pointing that out. At music uni we learned different terminology because there are different systems on how to "describe music". I would always stick to one of the most common and established systems since those are easy-understood by everybody. Happy to have you here!

@gregorious This reads like a joke I'm out.

@David 26 He said earlier "What do you mean exactly?" Look, i was just trying to be nice and point out a better way of saying something for clarity, i didn't mean to offend you haha

@gregorious Wdym Bruh I'm not wrong it's just a rarer definition. "know what you're talking about" lol but I do, none of what I said was wrong your concern is just personal preference and regarding him knowing being a factor you don't even know him. Chill dude you don't need to continue this lol.
