Favorite Key and Time Signature?

From scales and semitones to pentatonics and cadence patterns. It's all about the science behind the expression, here.

Maybe I just like Straight No Chaser so much I'd be willing to improvise over the version I learned for days and days.

For key signatures, since I perform rap vocals (in this fandom at least), 99.9% of any song I will ever work with is in 4/4, but I do love me some 7/4. It really puts some serious intensity into songs when done well, without relying on common practices (electric guitar + strings, "epic" choir stabs, VI-VII-i progression, and so on). Not to say said common practices are bad, just that I'd rather hear unique things, if you catch my drift.


7/4 Uhm? Like that piece "Cantilene et danse" by Marc Eychenne? Because if so that is one of my favourite pieces :smile:

Nah, he means 7/4 like in that piece Gentleman by Venetian Snares.

Nope, I mean 7/4 like Vox Nerduli from Simpsons Hit and Run.

I can't type cursive, so I don't know what's supposed to go in my signature.

Don't quote me.
