Demistifying Scriabins Mystic Chord (Prometheus Chord Full Analysis) MusicalBasics TV 2023-03-24 | Analysis of Scriabin's Mystic ChordScriabin's Mystic Chord, also known as the Prometheus Chord or the synthetic chord, is a complex harmony that Russian composer Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) used as a basis for his late harmonic language. The Mystic Chord consists of six notes and is built from a series of fourths and a tritone. In C, the chord would be spelled as follows: C, F#, Bb, E, A, D.My website: musicalbasics.comDiscord: discord.gg/musicalbasicsMain channel: youtube.com/musicalbasicsSpotify: http://bit.ly/MBPiano_Spotify
Stravinskys Petrushka Chord Is Absolutely Amazing (Full Overview And Exploration) MusicalBasics TV 2023-03-17 | In this video I explore the Petrushka chord, its construction & variations, and how one might use it in a composition or improvisation. The Petrushka chord is a distinctive harmonic device used in Igor Stravinsky's ballet, "Petrushka," first performed in 1911. It is a combination of two major triads that are a tritone apart. In the context of the ballet, the Petrushka chord is most prominently featured in the scene where the main character, Petrushka, comes to life. The chord reflects the tension, dissonance, and angularity of Petrushka's character and emotions. It also contributes to the overall modern, innovative, and groundbreaking nature of Stravinsky's score for the ballet.My website: musicalbasics.comDiscord: discord.gg/musicalbasicsMain channel: youtube.com/musicalbasicsTimestamps:0:00 Intro0:43 1 - Building the chord1:50 2 - The inversions2:30 3 - Related chords3:14 4 - Dissecting the chord3:59 5 - Variations6:42 6 - Metaphorical analysis7:28 7 - Petrushka chord in different keys10:05 8 - Improvisation15:54 Conclusion
Angels Harvest Heavenly Piano EDM MusicalBasics TV 2022-11-07 | What happens when the souls of man sprout from the wheat fields? After a lifetime of destruction and glory, like children coming out of school looking for their parents, the spirits of broken bodies rise above the field of tears, as one by one, the angels appear from the heavens to collect the souls which have passed onto eternity. The piercing light, the rays of divinity, the ultimate destination, all breathing the same words: My Child, Now You May Rest
Lion King EDM Music From My Past (EXPLICIT) MusicalBasics TV 2022-11-01 | Image credit to a fan who in 2018 created this funny combination of my face on a lion. The memes that popped up during that time still make me laugh. (Just to be clear, the lower left corner is not a butt. It is the body of a lion, original picture here: imgur.com/a/BrbKxb6)Listening to this now, I'm struck by how original and unapologetic this sounds. At the time, I was just starting out, and doubted my own ear and skills - I would think "Oh this is bad because I'm a noob, have cheap equipment and don't know anything." But years later, after spending thousands on the latest software & equipment, I realized that this song is in many ways superior to my later EDM works, because it wasn't made with any expectations, just a soul delightfully experiencing this new music world for the first time, and that is a journey that can never be repeated. This is why years later I gravitate towards playing pieces written by beginning composers, because they write melodies out of pure love, with no expectations of fame, wealth or awards. Unfortunately, they get corrupted by the validation and commercialization of their art, and then in almost every single case (including myself), their music starts to go downhill, even though their studio equipment becomes exponentially more expensive and they start to struggle wondering what happened to the fire inside? The fire only burns if it's not smothered by audience expectations and algorithms, "quality standards" and "brand image." Like a phoenix, it only rises from the ashes of a soul with pure intentions unfettered by greed and commercialization.

MusicalBasics #StopAsianHate Full Stream (Asian Music Appreciation) MusicalBasics TV 2021-03-23 | In this video we had an entire stream dedicated to appreciating Asian Music (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Philippines, etc) and exploring the rich history and culture behind the pieces and their composers. During the stream, we aimed to raise $500 for charity (ultimately we donated $1000 to the cause). Donation Proof: youtube.com/post/UgwUH1mthmYH_3mVtDB4AaABCQAsian Americans For Equality is a non-profit based in New York City and has been assisting local immigrants with jobs, housing, and services for 40 years. In light of the recent attacks on Asians, many fundraisers (such as the massive GoFundMe one) have focused on donating to local grassroots organizations which do a ton of heavy-lifting in terms of getting services directly delivered to the people who need help the most. This was why I decided to choose the AAFE for our charity destination. They have a great transparency record and a solid track record, and I believe they were a worthy destination for our cause.PLEASE SUPPORT THE CAUSE:gofundme.com/f/support-aapi-community-fundaafe.org/donateSpecial thanks to my donors this stream:BitKrissCr0ssLeviPeeko BearPyroburnemYvez---------------TWITCH ►► twitch.tv/musicalbasicsDISCORD ►► discord.gg/musicalbasics
