V7 is also unnecessary. ~ Practical... ] <Haraguchi Sasuke> A musician who is active in a wide range of fields, including Vocaloid P, DJ, and lyricist. He is well-known for his composition techniques using DTM, and is strongly influenced by EDM. He has made a name for himself at a very young age. <Overall review> [Music format] ・A melody → B melody → chorus. → The second chorus is the last chorus. The songs are very short (conscious of TikTok culture). [Rhythm] - It is permeated with a clear beat. → "♪.+♪.+♪" on an 8-beat. A catchy beat that is often used. - Instead of a lot of syncopation in the accompaniment, the drums and melody have a simple rhythm on the front. → Sharp contrast. [Melody and Harmony] - The melody is a tonic melody. → It doesn't matter if it clashes with the chords. - There is almost no melody line to serve as a bait. → The sound is matched by the sound material. - There are an inordinate number of out-of-step chords. → Melody, chords, and bass are all shifted by a semitone and clashed one after another. → It is full of avoid notes and the sound is on the verge of collapse. - There are a lot of tensions in the chords. → On-chords are also used. - There are many inversions at unnecessary times. → It is used deliberately to make the sound unstable. → The bass line moves violently melodically, so it doesn't feel strange. → As a result, the root note is often omitted. →However, the tonic at the end of the phrase lands on the basic form. This is done with care to prevent the piece from becoming too unstable and collapsing. ・The bass in the dominant is often a semitone above the dominant (A♭). →Normally it should be on the dominant (V7). →It is unstable because it reminds of the fourth inflection of V9 (♭VIdim7). [Expression] ・Abandoning musical sounds. Attracts with sound creation. →Creates an eerie atmosphere by intentionally making it sound bad. Example: Bad voicing. Violates all harmonic prohibitions such as avoid notes and ignoring limited progressions. →The sound creation in the mix creates a good balance. →There are a lot of sound effects such as sound jokes. There is also a humorous sound MAD-like quality. →There are many elements that cannot be expressed in sheet music. Music with a strong DTM element. ・Influenced by EDM genres (dubstep, etc.) that distort sounds extremely. →Use of wobble bass, drop in the interlude, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Composer's Toydora → https://tomita-haruki.studio.site/ #Haraguchi Sasuke #Kasane Teto #Humanity #Music Theory
