κωδικας

The game of the distance between bass and other notes simultaneously sounding.


το παιχνιδι της αποστασης μεταξυ μπασου και αλλων νοτών που ακούγονται ταυτόχρονα.


Default are intervals of 3, 5, 8.


το κοινοτυπο ειναι μονο διαστηματα 3, 5, 8


Magic begins when distances of 4th, 6th, 7th, 9th are introduced.


ολα γινονται μαγικα με διαστηματα 4, 6, 7, 9


There may be a correspondence to chacras as for example a musical interval of 4 gives a sensation of love.


How this game works is explained by BACH himself on the Art of Music.


Examples:


on 4:


Ordinary Day   NINA GORDON


on 7:


Julia   PAVLOV's DOG


Careless Whispers   GEORGE MICHAEL


Old and Wise   ALLAN PARSONS


on 9:


Close to you   THE CARPENTERS


Just Hold Me   MARIA MENA


on 6, 7, 9 etc:

Pedal Bass

σταθερο μπασο

Bass is rock steady at times and everything else moving, generalizing a  melody can be steady and all other parts moving relatively.


Tο μπασο σταθερο και αλλαζουν τα υπολοιπα. Γενικευμένα μπορεί να είναι η μελωδία σταθερή και όλα τα αλλα μέρη να κινούνται σχετικά
