Laia´s Phantasmophon

With Leon Lhoest.  Today I had a more or less spontaneous meeting inspired by Sabine Kühlich and Sigrid Paans, who suggested to also think about what I could still add to my study list. And we came up with the idea to meet Leon. The result is, that I will join his class for this semester. Brilliant. Today we talked a bit about Bill Evans compositions´. Namely "Time Remembered". I made some short notes, the topics will be discussed deeper in the course.  Notes: "Melodic Driven Harmony". Deal with harmony the way you deal with melodies. Josef Demoulin. Messiaen. Check youtube channels, a lot of information is just out there. Berklee College Online Courses. No tonal center.  Ex.: Take two chords. Any. Transpose them anywhere. Several times. Also invert the order of the chords. Composition for the duo "Take Me To Nirvana": Type it to Sibelius. To better check the rhythmic relations. On top of an established structure imagine an "outsid

An incredible saxophone player and singer.  In his singing I can hear his saxophone playing as well. There are these jodel-like passages. I love them!

James Moody, what an incredible soul was inside of this guy!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe49P8u0nEk https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Moody_(Saxophonist)

Ok, let the games begin. Let´s work concentrated at things, let's write, get a routine, get into the process of the master thesis. On the one hand side this journal will display the process of my research for the master in music that I undertake now.  This journal shall as well store interesting links and inspirations, that I want to continue with later on. So to say I am installing a digital music diary.  Even after I will have finished my studies for the master in music I can go back to this collected memory whenever I find time to enhance my musicianship.  I think I will work with colors to specify the two different roles of the text. For now I stick to a black/average appearance for the texts concerning the master thesis. A light blue will be the links and thoughts of general inspirations, that I collect.
