Hello and welcome in today's episode, I'll be showing you
different ways of using tunnel and chromatic Polly chord
structures in your music. But first a thing or two about
Polly cards, it consists of 2 or more chords played together and
such cars. Maybe originated from the same
or different tonalities. Usually the latter is applied.
Only the chords that make up the poly Court must be perceived
independently although it is not mandatory.
Nevertheless when the court pitches are mixed, the overall
chord structure will be considered as one complex unit
as you will hear. Normally if you want the
individual chord, formations to be heard distinctly, they should
be properly spaced since depending on the way that the
involved chord notes are arranged more or As tension can
be created, when Polly chords are built from chords in the
same tonality, they can be considered in fact as cord
extensions. As an example, if you have a C
and G major chord from the c, major tonality you can either
represent it as a poly card with G over C or as C, major 9, if
you want to make Melodies over Polly cards.
And if the case is like the previous example, where we built
a And with cords from the same tonality then it is quite
straightforward. As you are not implying, another
tonality and the notes used in each chord belong to that same
tonality as said you will be hearing this poly cord as a cord
extension. Based on the technology you are
using various in poly cords build with cords from different
tonalities. You can either use a compound
scale made with the notes of those chords or you can go back
and forth from the implied tonalities.
The following example uses mostly Polly cards from the same
tonality noticed how more familiar and consonant Discord
structures. May sound to you.
If you are building Polly cords with cords from different
tonalities, keep in mind that the relative distance of the
tonalities you are using will have an impact on how the poly
chord sounds. Think about it, as a choice of
key relationships and how dissonant or consonant they will
sound, when the respective cords are just opposed account,
Student relationship is considered when you are using
chords. From the tonality, that has at
least five common pitches like in C major and F, major or C
major and D major, and a dissonant relationship occurs,
when last and five, common pitches are shared between
Technologies, like, in C major and a flat major.
Another way of using poly chord structures is to use the upper
structure with the same cord while you use the lower chord.
Sure to change the color of the Polly card.
The last four bars of this example, uses a descending.
Chromatic Baseline. And the poly cars were built
based on it. This last example uses yet,
another way of thinking about building poly chord structures.
In this case, I'm using a more static Court succession in the
lower structure that is maintained throughout in
contrast with the upper structure that has more harmonic
movement. I built the poly cars in a way
that the respective upper and lower structures confirmed.
The total or model centers, they belong to in the major for the
upper structure and F Dorian. And Phrygian from the E flat
major tonality in the lower structure.
So things to consider when working with poly chord
structures, for the residents of poly cords, it is advisable to
follow the logic of how the overtones are produced open
position voicing at the bottom and the other cord with closed
position. Voicing at the top, pay
attention to where dissonant intervals are placed the usage
of dissonant or consonant intervals in the outer voicings
of the chord structure determines its Reception quality
throughout the court formation. As with clusters some of the
consonant or dissonant quality may be enhanced, or dispelled,
according to how closely you place both cords.
By the way, you voice the chord structure and it's register by
the way that the involved coordinates are presented or by
arpeggiating one or both cords. Any type of cord can be used to
build a poly card, but three note chords are usually more
common. However, the decision of the
Court quality their extensions and techniques, you use to make
and present Polly cards are entirely up to you.
And the only limit is your creativity.
It's all for now and I'll see you on the next episode.
