Okay, so I’ve been messing around with music theory stuff lately, and I stumbled upon this “Melody Adorno” thing. Honestly, I didn’t really know what to expect, it sounded kinda fancy. So, I decided to dive in and see what it was all about.
My Little Experiment
First, I googled “Melody Adorno”. Just to get a basic idea, you know? Lots of academic-sounding stuff popped up, talking about philosophy and music. Honestly, it was a bit intimidating at first!
But I kept digging. I found some articles and forum posts that seemed a bit more down-to-earth. They talked about how Adorno was really into “atonal” music – music that doesn’t really have a clear key or center. Think of it like… really out there jazz or some modern classical stuff.
So, I decided to try making some of my own “atonal” melodies. Here’s what I did:
- I opened up my usual music software.
- I picked a random instrument (I think it was a synth).
- I started just hitting notes, totally randomly. No thinking about scales or chords or anything like that.
- I just use the piano roll.
It sounded… weird. Really weird. Like, not something you’d hear on the radio, that’s for sure. But it was also kinda interesting. It felt like exploring sounds, not just following rules.
Then, I tried to make it a little less random. I focused on creating some repeating patterns, even if they didn’t make sense in a traditional way. That made it feel a bit more structured, but still pretty “out there”.
I added some rhythm. I used a drum for this part.
What I Learned (So Far)
Honestly, I’m still figuring this whole “Melody Adorno” thing out. It’s not like learning a new scale or chord progression. It’s more about a different way of thinking about music.
It’s definitely made me think more about why certain notes sound good together, and what happens when you throw those rules out the window. It’s like, I’m experimenting with sound itself, not just following a recipe.
I’m not sure if I’ll ever make music that sounds exactly like what Adorno was talking about. But the process of trying has definitely opened my ears to new possibilities. It’s like, I’m learning a new musical language, even if I don’t fully understand it yet.
It’s so * that is all.
