A little something to break the monotony
Can anybody help me out with a little problem I have.
I've basically just written a simple little tune that repeats the following chord sequence.
--------------------------------
Cmin (C Eb G)
Cmin
Cmin
Cmin
Bb (Bb D F)
Bb
G (G B D)
??? (B D F)
-----------------------------------
It sounds O.K, but I want to change the tune half way through, and would like to put some sort of bridge/ change of chord pattern in, but I can't find any that fit. Playing different inversions of those chords sounds quite nice, but isn't what I'm looking for.
This is a general problem for me (not just this tune).
I've got hundreds of nice chord patterns, but to get them to sound O.K in electronic music I usually only use two or four chords.
Can anybody shed some light on this situation, how would I go about finding or working out such 'bridges'. I've heard that using relative minors can be useful but I've not had any luck, and would really like to make my tunes a little more complicated than the same bloody chords repeating over and over and over and over and over . . . . . . .
How the hell do Aire come up with those patterns and melodies anyway ?
P.S. - Does anyone know what that last chord is, or what key is associated with that chord pattern ?
