This time, our video will take a look at the consonance and dissonance of chords. We all know when we're listening to an angry or troubled sound that is looking for a resolution. The penultimate sound that comes just before the calming final chord. From dissonance to consonance. If you're at all into composing music, you'll get a feel for how dissonance adds deep emotion to your sound, and how consonance eases you toward the resolution. I love this video. I HAVE composed music that uses this principle. I have to admit I never knew what it was called when using it; all I knew was that this disturbance-to-calm was exactly the emotion I was looking for.
It's a two part lesson. I hope you enjoy it!
