Dreamjam


I dreamed that Ludwig and I are playing a grand piano at the shoreline of a turbulent ocean. He is dressed in a tuxedo and is whaling 3 chords over and over on the bass keys, except it doesn't sound like a piano. It sounds like a chorus of Sirens and Merwomen singing into conch mics. The chords themselves are visible when I look through the piano cabinet.





Below is a chord widget of the Ludwig dreamchords.
Drag over the stemmed noteheads. Play the guitar loop and try to drag over the chords in time to create a double-voiced dream timbre.





Here is a scale you can use to play over the Dreamchords. It is an F Phrygian (spelled wrong below) kinda dealy.







Certain notes will only sound good atop certain chords. Go ahead and take yourself a nice long solo. Explore the consonances and dissonances of this progression.







You'll probably wanna put this oceanic loop on in the background and go take another solo. Just click the orb.

You'll also probably wanna have some cymbal swells too.







Just click on the Saturnal Cymbal and try to time it so that it crashes on the F Major in the chord progression above. This is called Resolution.

Well that's it for this dreamjam.

A special thanks to mother for her footage and audio of the southern waters of the World Ocean. And props to Lord Morpheus for not devouring this dream as he's devoured countless others.
