What I Like About It
- Staying in the Eb Melodic minor scale allowed me to use harmonies that moved from consonance to dissonance easily.
- The mod wheel effect on this patch is exotic and mysterious. Since I played this on my Oxygen 8, I could easily reach the mod wheel.
- This piece feels like it has more structure than some of the others, although it’s also improvised.
- The transitions are smooth and not jarring.
- There are a few gorgeous openings where a simple triad or dominant seventh chord comes out of the cluster of dissonance.
What I Don’t Like About It
- Many parts of the piece feel out of phase and wobble a little too much for my taste.
- I tried to equalize the distortion fuzz out, but I don’t think I got it all.
- I may have been a little heavy-handed on the compressors.
Note: These are rough drafts. Constructive criticism is welcomed, of course.
