Today I transcribed the synth bass line from @classixx track “Grecian Summer”, the opener from their 2016 album “Faraway Reach” on @innovativeleisure · There’s so much subtle variation here. No two-bar phrase is exactly the same! · Classixx composed an infectiously grooving bass line without a single downbeat. And while it’s in the key of Eb, rarely do they give you root note outright! · Classixx is a duo of California-based producers, Tyler Blake & Michael David. The official visualization is by director Steve Smith. · Keyboard & notation rendered in @soundslice_music & edited in FCPX.

Transcription & animation of this banger from one of my favorite musical artists, @disclosure — "White Noise" is from 2013 and features @alunageorge · The track is in F minor, and the main loop starts on the tonic, F.  But, when the bass kicks in for the chorus, it begins on the fourth scale degree, Bb!  The bass doubles the lead, down a perfect fifth.  It's a killer timbral effect! · My favorite little detail of the vocal performance is Aluna Francis' pronunciation of the word "automatic."  So good! · · · #MusicTranscription #MusicVisualization #ElectronicMusic #MusicNotation #MusicProducer #AlunaGeorge #MusicTheory #Disclosure #WhiteNoise #HouseMusic #MusicNerd https://www.instagram.com/p/COs9dzCqr6X/?igshid=17xbzr7ia0r6o

Chick Corea was my favorite musician.  My introduction to his music was almost three decades ago, playing vibraphone on an arrangement of "Spain" in middle school jazz band. · His music sparked a curiosity in me, and the summer before high school, I bought cassette tapes of the early Elektric Band & Akoustic Band albums.  From there, I grew to love jazz fusion, synthesizers, harmony & composition. · His influence on my musical life cannot be overstated.  Rest easy, Chick. · Here's @chickcorea & @bobby.mcferrin playing Spain in 2012 at Jazz à Vienne. · · Original video produced by @zycopolis Productions, Directed by Patrick Savey · · · #ChickCorea #BobbyMcFerrin #MusicNotation #Jazz #ScrollingNotation #ChickCoreaSpain #Zycopolis #チックコレア #chickcorearip https://www.instagram.com/p/CLP81OLKQDf/?igshid=bokk6ry7daxp
