This one's a bit weird. I had almost no time this week and all of my equipment is exploding again, so I just took part of an older project that I didn't know how to continue (the first 5 bars) and went crazy from there. Very rough but I think it has some charm.

It's supposed to be in D Dorian. Trying to figure out what chord progressions work well in it. Didn't get very far lol

edit: okay I may have really broken that sustain haha

Deep and moving, lovely piece smile

Lots of emotions in this little gem. Sorry about the exploding equipment sad

I like it. Could be in a rainy movie scene. Could use some lush strings.

How do you figure it should be in D dorian? I'm curious about your process as I rarely think of ehat scale I'm supposed to be in, other than just listening to what sounds good in the moment. I do think of chord progressions tho

Thanks, everyone. heart

My harmonies tend to drift from the desired tonic and I'm trying to break that habit by branching out and learning what makes each scale/mode click. For this one, I was intentionally playing around with i, IV, and v chords to try and get a feel for how the IV makes the Dorian mode unique from the natural major and minor scales. smile
