Chord Time. Wow have my ears evolved through the years. For me, it's much like acquiring a taste for certain foods.
It seems as though I can lay my fingers down anywhere and the sound is interesting instead of harsh. By interesting I mean it doesn't hurt anymore! Each of these chords in todays piece sound like a whole world, and it fascinates me. When I think about it, the approach to the keyboard makes a difference too. I like a more gentle touch for the most part. If someone wants to bang out a bunch of minor ninths it'll probably bother me some. As I've spoke in a past posting or two, stacking these chords in thirds is a most harmonious way to build density like this.
I wanted chords today. I didn't think too much about them - I let my fingers fall but keeping a stacked thirds shape for the most part. Also a lot of parallel movement here.
