Exploring "Strong Currents in the Unknown Waters"

Strong Currents in the Unknown Waters: an arpeggio interlude, this time with dark, minor modal mixture.

(Note to reader: these are my earlier blogposts heavy in music theory and meandering in thought. I’ll slowly revisit and backlink posts to clarify things.)

I stated pretty much everything, even regarding improvisation, in the above: I’ve also stated something similar in past blog posts regarding the pieces in this album.

To peek into this ‘audio dungeon exploration’ before shopping it in the Bandcamp market (for name your gold coins):

Examples of darker harmonies or modal mixture in this album in the posts: Exploring “Twilight in the Marshlands”, Exploring “Doppelganger Takes Over”, Exploring “Revelations in Ancient Tombs” and Exploring “When Shadows Take Over”.
