Thanks for the answer! That chord progression is a favorite of mine. I got it from the song Visions by Haken.

How would you go about sub-dividing in tuplets while keeping the pulse of the original time signature and tempo of a song (e.g. Say you're in 3/4 and you have a quarter note tuplet with smaller sub-divisions like eighth notes within it) without rushing, changing the tuplet, or losing the original pulse?

Ok so I have a kind of a dark melody that goes from an Am chord, Dsharp(jus the note), to Ab( just the note) and it has a lot of chromaticism, and I was wondering if u had any advice as to how to incorporate chromaticism or tritonic resolutions effectively or how to help the melody move because I feel like I can't get out of using the tritons all the time.

Were u ever thinking about going over some of the compositional aspects of doom metal?

[RandyBakkelund]

What is your advice of how to get the feel for quintuplets or septuplets and get good at them? (8ths, 16ths, 32nds or triplets I already know)
