    About this ebook

    The purpose of this book is to be presented as a guide in order to provide the proper piece of knowledge to the improviser, either for a beginner or a sophisticated and well educated professor. A textbook that will surely accompany him from his first musical steps and also become an instructor for this endless journey of improvisation. This book includes Greek and international terminology for the reader in order to get familiarized with the universal language of music. I wish everyone have a wonderful journey into the world of improvisation and music in general…

      In electronic music circles, the words vintage and analog are often interlinked. Ask someone to name a 'vintage' synth and 9 times out of 10 you'll hear the name of some '70s classic – a Moog, a Prophet, perhaps an ARP… At the risk of making some rea

      Jean-Michel Jarre must have felt pretty alone in the 70s. While Emerson, Wakeman and Downs were playing synthesisers like be-cloaked keyboard wizards, and the ’League and Cabs were exploring the machines’ innards like scientists, Jarre just wanted to

      #87 Writing With Minor Scales

      Dec 31, 2019

      Minor keys and minor scales have a rep for being dark and sad, and while that’s true in a very broad sense, it’s probably more to do with the fact that they’re just generally not as bright and happy, when played individually, as their major counterpa
