Thank you very much Marco Fiorini, I am studying Negative Harmony, and one every day and I am getting more done by the sonority. Thanks for your collaboration.

Very nice thanks for the help after watching Once who won I started working traditional Christmas carols period that seemed to me an easy way to explore the concepts

[ruggero]

thank you for the time you take to upload your explanatory videos for us. much, much appreciated, mille grazie

[seleniticdawn]

This is so wonderfully concise. I finally feel as if I'm starting to understand these concepts. Before it was very abstract but the way you've explained things proves it's actually really quite simple, though will still take much time to internalise.

Thank you for the video and notes. It's really awesome that you showed how we can apply the theory instead of just understanding the concepts. Thanks for your effort!

Would love to see a video on applying negative harmony with positive harmony.

Thank you for taking to the time to thoroughly explain these concepts! It's clear you've been studying this in depth for awhile - looking forward to more! :-)

[dannyjesse]

Awesome video! Glad I finally found someone who actually understands this and goes into the depth needed for me to learn how to use it. Looking forward to future installments : D

I've been loving your videos. When I first learned theory at all, my teacher had us spend a crazy amount of time writing 8 bar folk melodies in a very standardized way: mm.1-2 repeats in mm. 5-6, m. 4 ends on a the dominant, starts and ends on the tonic, most action in m. 7. Then we harmonized them. I have found this to be an incredibly helpful process to go through again with negative harmony. It really teaches your ear the way these pull. I think about that first thing that Jacob "showed" in the interview with the negative of the dominant cycle movement, and how it seemed so weird (aurally) to me, and then I think, wait a second, dominant cycle movement ALSO took a LONG time to hear really clearly and thread well as an improviser. You have to feel the pulls, and none of us are used to feeling them pull in the opposite direction, even though we can sense (and hear in Jacob and Steve's music) the rightness and possibilities. Also Levy's book is insanely dense.
