today's jam. most of the song is in Eb major and does this ii-V-I-V/ii thing but then it modulates to the bIII in Gb major which immediately does this I-V/IV thing and it's great. it gets there through the bridge which does IV-bII/vi-vi-iii-V/V in Eb major.

particularly the 2nd mvt where the melody starts going over the 5/4 barline and then hermeto pascoal's vocals doubling the piano solo

wasting time trying to figure out a way to preserve registers in overleaf's vim mode so i don't have to redefine vim macros every time.
best solution i've come up with so far is pasting macros into a separate overleaf file and then yanking them in to a register one-by-one

finally getting around to suisei hoshimachi and next color planet is such a banger www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQHV... that rest where everything drops out when the verse(?) comes back at 1:46 is just so funky and so good (esp with how dense the orchestration is)

MMD - maximum mean discrepancy / miku miku dance

frequent ii-Vs in diff keys (ii-V of vi, of IV) , chromaticism, & mode mixture in the dynazenon OP. having seen V/V not resolving right away here (mostly going to bVII) and in other tunes i've been figuring out make me rmbr that it's just all dominant prep (and voice leading) and that's why it works

today during groceries one stop gave me back the coins amount of 41 cents and then the next stop needed me to pay the coins amount of 41 cents and so i thought "neat, what are the chances?" and then i thought "wait, what really are the chances?" and then it all became too much to think about

spirale is interesting not just bc it's the OP of aria the origination but bc the verse is in C maj (w/ some bVII ), the chorus in G maj, and the bridge mb emphasizing A min and it does so many things to obscure what key it's actually in www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj7V... . airy and ethereal feeling

came across the gershgorin circle theorem tonight which seems neat but then i started wondering why it's called the circle theorem when it's really about gershgorin discs and then i started thinking about compact discs and then started thinking about the compactness of discs and circles and then

i like the sound of the V/V that doesn't immediately resolve here in the verse and chorus www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb3x... (I-iv-I-V-vi-V/V-IV-V in G major for the verse). feely bluesy-ish.

really like the orchestration in this. lot of colors for not so big of an ensemble. some fav bits are when the shekere pedal comes in in the first tune and the broken chords in the acoustic guitar in the second
