I can't stand Glass! Steve  Reich without the genius baggage. Roedelius is 
too juvenile for me, way too  many major chords. It's all a gentle ballet 
now, isn't  it?

cheers,

This is where I part  ways.  I don't love chords. It's all tension and 
release for me.   Had to write a Copland-esque piece at work today...entirely 
linear and  horizontal and not a "chord" to be found...just the vodka talking  
now.

Roberto you have joined the correct group of  people.
Are there any other chords besides  minors?

Surely we all love miserable self indulgent crap, why  else would we be 
here? Bring on the block chords!

Mark

PS link  doesn't show on the list site, so will have to catch up with it 
later, sounds  good though.

minor of  course...not a single 'happy' note...something like Tangerine

"Aguirre"...on a loop....extremely boring and self-indulgent AND  
pretentious...all true qualities of a Tron lover.
