G#mi7b5 itself functions as the ii in a minor ii-V-i in F# minor. The ninth on it is a colour note to emphasize the mode (locrian #2 or whatever: sixth mode of jazz-minor) and is a nice leading tone to the b13 on a C#7alt then going to F#mi9 (A#-A-G#) i'll check that out on the keyboard, thx for the info!

zero Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 quit being such a lazy ass and record some tunes seriously tho - you ever go to any Medeski shows, see Scofield, or similar? like how's the jazz / funk / jam scene over there (maybe before covid)? long time ago I lived not far from New Orleans, which is how I got into a lot of that. Medeski used to show up all the time, and would put on these type of super jams with random musicians. saw MMW and similar jazz funk jam shows many times back then...so much of it is blurred by alcohol and/or psychedelics though haha brian trageskin 1 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/100902-greta-brainskin-ama/page/3/#findComment-2910973 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Writing lyrics that aren't total cringe is the hard part. (making electronic music became really appealing for this reason.)
