How to use Modes in music - Modes of the Major Scale

[@thereturners7564]

That Lydian example is so good. It gives me a sort of Final Fantasy / Chrono Trigger-ish vibe. Magical.

Love your talks about these alchemical harmonic tricks. Youre the best Chris. ....Please keep going with Modal harmony in depth but I wanted to request that you consider doing a deep dive on cadences from the ground up. I have looked it up many times and 70% get what they are but I'm still confused. Mabye its just me but I'd love to hear your thoughts on Cadences and their functions. Thanks again.

super idea. and a neglected area here. thank you!

Great video, Chris. I'm trying to make more conscious use of modes in my own music, and these modal videos really help a lot!

[@ImpliedMusic]

Great to hear!

I feel this video is preparing me to embrace modes as a way of expression and not only as scales. I believe I'm finally ready now. Great explanation with beautiful examples.

[@alphaomega6062]

Much food for thought, thank you.

[@miguelmunoz5598]

Amazing, many thanks!!!

[@robertwisden7202]

I love this channel. I take my laptop down to my studio and try out the lessons and get amazing inspiration. It's much more helpful to employ this stuff as it is being taught rather than hope to remember later. Thanks Chris, wonderful, inspiring teaching!

Thank you for this video, it comes at a perfect time for me. My brain has been skating across the idea of modes and not quite latching on, I keep reverting to thinking of a normal Aeolian scale starting in the middle. Your presentations are really helping me figure this out!

[@ImpliedMusic]

Glad it was helpful!

Always high quality information that can be used right away. Thank You Chris.

[@ImpliedMusic]

You're very welcome!

[@Jeronimo365]

Always learn something new and interesting. 🙏

[@RyanMurgatroydMusic]

Had no idea that when using Phrygian you can flip the mode of the I chord to Major, really interesting. I loved the lydian example too, as an electronic musician ive made extensive use of Dorian, but Lydian is seeming more and more exciting. Exceptional content.

Glad it was helpful!

[@rebanelson607]

Wow!

[@EnkiAndInanna]

For me I think this is the best video so and has connected so many dots in my mind, thanks Chris. I’d be interested to hear your exploration of eastern hijaz scales modulated with trad western tonal structure

[@mikemessinides881]

Your examples are great, not just here but in all your videos. Would love to see a video where you go through the creation of an example, in detail including any misteps, edits, etc.

[@alkali6]

Great video! Well explained and good examples You mentioned terrain-based music, what are some artists to listen to in order to explore more?

[@ImpliedMusic]

let's start with classical composers John Luther Adams, as well as John (no middle name) Adams. and then in the Ambient world, the layered productions of early John Hassell, Brian Eno et. al. my current favorite ambient composer using these types of densities is Locil.

[@alkali6]

@ thank you! These will be on my listening list for the work week!

[@gavezdois]

Thanks…

[@ImpliedMusic]

You're welcome!

Learning the basics of music, I got my major, dominant, natural minor scales, etc. and only much later learnt those can also be called ionian, mixolydian, aeolian, etc. Same thing, different names. Frankly, talking about "modes" is not useful. IMHO. Love your videos. Cheers.

[@cfibanez]

And, by the way, the so-called "modes" have nothing to do with "modal" music, really. The latter is characterized by long sections of music that stay in the same chord, for example Hancock's Cantaloupe Island, as opposed to rapid and multiple chord changes as in bebop.
