Haha, I'm glad you liked it! Trust me, once you make solfege notation second nature, composing will be A LOT easier and faster. And you'll have more fun doing it too. I really really want to make a video tutorial on it, but limited resources are a problem =/. But I will soon. For the mean time, keep practicing and experimenting, and make sure to check out my music for reference.
Harmony has always been trial-and-error to me. However, since I have no fundamental knowledge of it, I always find myself stuck on rediscovering the very basics of harmony.
I think this article has, or will, help me a lot in learning what I need to properly start learning harmony.
I also think I've found a deeper understand solfege notation. I've always thought that there is something special about it, but I've never really understood (or bothered to research) how it is actually used. Now I understand, it's a generalization of all scales. Amazing =D
Thank you for putting your time into this!
I'm glad this article was useful to you! I'm in the planning of the video tutorial for this, so I'll keep u posted. In the mean time, practice and experiment a lot, you will unlock a creative side to you which you didnt know existed!
I am glad I found this tutorial. I find it useful to my own ways.
My melodies are based only on how well instruments stick with each other.. I would just experiment and use any good combinations I come up with.
A tutorial on chord progressions would be nice. I read a lot of information about it but I just cannot use it.. I can make something looping using one progression but there is no explanation how to make kinds of turnarrounds, etc.. It is complicated.. So I use only scales from music theory
I don't really know much about chord progressions to make a tutorial or anything. I mean, I know the basic ones, and I can make my own based on harmonics, but that's it. I'm planning to make my video tutorial of this soon (hopefully tomorrow) so maybe from that you could see a few of the chords I use.
I'm glad my tutorial was of assistance!

Hmmm. Thanks for this. It was very interresting. It applies to classical a lot more than the modern techno/trance imo, but its good to know. Thanks for writing it out.

Yea, no problem man! Actually, in theory this can almost equally apply to anything. I used this method when composing "Lost Entity (Dance Remix)" and it turned out just fine. Just practice and extensively experiment with everything I talked about, and you will find harmonizing A LOT easier, and more interesting too.
