@DavidBennettPiano Dear David, I have a question regarding Ice Five (Dorian). I understand that you wanted to highlight the difference between the natural minor and dorian scale, but isn't interpreting the song in the 'parent key' of Bb really confusing? If we see it as being in F (so G dorian) we would simply have a ii - iii and have no need to raise the b5 of the vii chord. We would also have one accidental less in the key signature. Why did you interpret it this way?

You gotta talk about changes. The entire concept is that each chord change changes the key the song is in, alternating between D and F# major (hence the title). While most of the songs just vamp between two chord the entire time, I still think it's an interesting thing to go into detail about

The most fantastic thing about KG&LW is that, despite their ginormous output and despite their ability to go full-on theoretical with albums like this (Or Microtonal Banana or Polygondwanaland), their songs are still great to listen to, earworms even, and they still convey messages. If you had no idea that this record goes through all the modes, and were just listening it for the songs, the lyrics, the feel, the soundscapes, it's still a great, rewarding listen - and not, what it easily could have become, a boring contrived lesson in music theory. My fave is Butterfly 3000 which, to me, is like pulling Kraftwerk into the Gizzverse.

Other interesting thing are the microtonal albums trilogy, very interesting musically. But even more interesting than the music theory themed albums, are their concept driven releases, each album is unique trying something new.

It's not necessary for the tonic chord of Locrian to be diminished since it can also be a minor 7 flat 5 chord, also known as a half-diminished chord. That said, when it comes to Locrian, it's often best to embrace its dissonance and weirdness rather than try to mask it.

I understand that you wanted to highlight the difference between the natural minor and dorian scale, but isn't interpreting the song in the 'parent key' of Bb really confusing? If we see it as being in F (so G dorian) we would simply have a ii - iii and have no need to raise the b5 of the vii chord. We would also have one accidental less in the key signature. Why did you interpret it this way?

I get people often aren't into this, calling it boring or uninteresting, but I am the exact opposite, I find this album captivating and interesting. Then again, I'm not the biggest fan of modern radio pop music. I still like The Beatles, but they're from the 60s, not really modern.

This is completely unrelated to the meat of this video, but with how dedicated King Gizz fans are, I’m surprised no one has made a compilation of every “wooo” in a Gizz song into a KZbin video.

Locrian is one of those scales that exist in theory but not in reality. Doing Am7(omit5) is still Am7, the 5 is actually heard through the harmonics. The use of the Eb here is obviously ornamental. I would try to use an Eb chord maybe...
@adino207 ай бұрын
So you know of any songs that use the whole chord?

So I have seen this before and I am always a bit perplexed by this: so whenever you have a non-Ionian or non-Aeolian scale/mode you still seem to have the same fixed accidentals as the Ionian or Aeolian counterpart. So the G dorian example has two flats and the D phrgian has one flat whereas whenever I play things notated and in these modes a G dorian would have only one flat and D phrygian would have two flats. Now interestingly, the F lydian example had no accidental but D mixolydian has two sharps instead of one and A locrian has no accidentals instead of two flats. Although I see what they did there by omitting the 5 in that A(di)m chord. :) So what gives? For me, the natural thing would be to indicate G mixolydian with no accidentals, C# phrygian with 3 sharps, C dorian with two flats etc. So again, what gives?

Omitting the 5 and calling it Locrian is total BS. lol

@@kierenmoore3236It did come off as sus, yes. :) But even so, I mean, if I wanted to indicate something to be in C Locrian I would put 5 flats there and not 3 flats and mark every single D flat and G flat.

@@weepingscorpion8739 It’s more than sus, though. The b5 is literally the defining/signature scale degree of Locrian. It would be like buying a “jam donut”, and finding out it’s a plain donut with a tiny dot of jam inside it, lol. I mean, technically, perhaps … but you’d feel cheated. We wouldn’t all be talking about how clever the donut manufacturer was, would we … lol

About the Locrian mode - did they just "cheat" by leaving the flat5 out? I think they did a bit. Also you talk about the one needs to be "resolved or resolving chord". No it does not. In my mind, music does not need to resolve into anything. It is ok if it resolves, but it doesn't have to. Or am I just too dumb to understand this "claim"?

Only downside I have with this is that the words in the title don't match the titles of the songs in their modes. Ice is Ionian, but then the song Ice V is not the ionian song and instead it's Mycelium, which would match more logically with Mushrooms being Myxolydian.

Mode is just an illusion, they're all major scale, but limit the key to get certain mode sound. Playing classic functional harmony is much more interesting, you can play outside, doing modal interchange within a song, insert borrowed chords within a bar, you can't do that in modal music.
