This week mine was homemade soda. Fermented sodas, citric acid + bicarbonate sodas, different juices and flavors like lime + lemon + cherry and pomegranate or mango peach or cola (homemade knock off)

    Why does it make you feel that way?

    This is the one thing for which I want a concrete answer, and I feel like without the tools I’m currently gaining from these videos I can’t really come to a satisfactory conclusion. Sometimes I’m able to find similarities between songs, like the same chord progression, or key signature, etc. but never the complete answer. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll have to transcribe my favorite things and grind out the answers myself (I can also just search for the sheet music for some things, but I think I’d be doing my future self a disservice).

    I agree though that it’s one of the most fulfilling things to come to the conclusion on my own. I just need the right tools first! I’m no Beethoven after all 😁

    Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll definitely check it out!

      The difference between a major and minor chord can do so much, add in tritones and you’ve already got quite the toolset to create very specific emotions.

      You’ve got the weight of a sound to work with, a good example would be the soundtrack of Interstellar. Contrasting a meaningless and powerless humanity in form of simple melodies on a piano with the absolute might and unfathomable size of space, brought to life with a massive organ.

      Soooo much good music. On another note, check out The Good, the Bad and the Ugly played by the Danish National Orchestra, their channel is called DR Koncerthuset. If that one part doesn’t make you feel things, I don’t know what will
