Start harmonic mixing today with Mixed In Key: mixedinkey.com/?c=bennett
Climbing down the major scale from the subdominant (IV) to the tonic (I) is a simple but satisfying chord progression. With a clear sense of momentum it has been used in a wide range of songs from video game soundtracks to The Beatles.
My debut album UNDER AN EMPTY SKY is out now on VINYL, CD and DOWNLOAD:
