chromaticism: notes from the chromatic scale used to create more emotion and a greater sense of tension in a piece of music. By using tones that are not "supposed" to be in a certain key, composers are able to create stronger and more effective dissonances and variations in the music. Exaggerated dissonance creates more tension, which in turn fosters a greater sense of relief when the music arrives at a moment of resolution. Alternatively, this moment can be delayed using chromatic harmonies, so that the listener is constantly waiting for resolution.

MySpace

As promised yesterday, the MySpace page is now up and running.

And thanks a million times over to the amazing Ben Pelchat for all his creative genius, and for putting up with my very specific, overly anal attention-to-detail requests all of yesterday afternoon.

Check it out!
