EDIT: Also, how would I be thrown by an octave? It's not like octaves are that tricky...

It's meant to be dissonant sounding at first and in places in the second
part. I like things that sound strange...eerie...scary or weird.

I hate penta-tonic scales....the "Blues"...*Yaaawwwnnn*

Google for Scriabin...Atonality...transcending...Diminished.

You guys are just not familiar I think with music theory or at least
anything outside the popular, 3 minute, commercial, pop radio realm.

I could be wrong....

Anyhoo...

the song ends abruptly...because if you read the post...I said it's a WIP...

WIP means Work In Progress...as in not done...

The first slow section is done.

Theory wise...if you are in a key...and the key stays the same...you
can do anything you want to as long as you touch on that key.

You may not resolve anything...
or create a melody...but you don't have to accomplish everything
you want to say in 2 minutes.

There is no law that says I can't make a pretty melody and ripping
solo...then go totally nuts and become a cacophany...then go
back to beauty.

I don't play shred...in fact I hate shred...I don't play metal....R & R,
jazz....I'm developing my own style. You can't or won't be able to
categorize my music most of the time. Some people call it crap...
others have said it's brilliant.

I don't like Britney Spears or Micheal Jackson, but can 1 billion records
be wrong.

Some people...ones I know who
are pro studio musicians or composers understand my music....

They don't always like it...but they know where I am coming from.

That's ok...I write music for me...not anyone else.

Sure it's great if they like it....but if they don't....who cares?

They are not paying me for this s***....:lol:

Check this out you guys...it will give you an idea of the vibe I am
trying to transfer from this type of music to the guitar and any
other modern instrument I can lay my hands on.

Here check this out.

Clips from Alexander Scriabins work

Try some Trevisan as well...

Anyway...hope this helps you a bit...8)

BTW...I'm not b***ching...it's just a pain in the arse to have to
educate people when something isn't John Petrucci, Led Zeppelin
or whoever...
