How to create the Phrygian mode and harmonize it with the correct chords in Ableton Live

How to quickly create chords from any scale or mode. In this example I’ve entered the notes of the phrygiam mode and then very quickly extracted all the harmonic chords using Ableton’s folding technique. I could have used any scale or mode and generated the harmonic chords. Usuage: Lets say you have a melody in a particular key/scale/mode and you want to harmonize it with the correct chords…well once you understand the basic technique presented here it can be applied to all known scales and modes with very little music theory knowledge. My website www.chordengine.com has a full written tutorial as well as links for free useful utilties for improving your songwriting skills including the FREE nutchords utility which I’ve used in this tutorial for generating the Phrygian mode itself.

Heres the second tutorial by Ben Guerrette, aka VJ Ecin from Triggermotion.com, showing how to take advantage of the Flash capabilities within ArKaos GrandVJ.

Ill go explain how to tap into the statement variable within Flash so you can create your own text based clips. Ill also touch on the duration and position variables, which if used properly, allow playback speed adjustment of code based animations. Well be using some basic ActionScript 2.0 thats a little more advanced than the previous tutorial.. “

How To Create iPhone Apps With No Programming Experience

Don’t worry. We were exactly in the same position as you, and know exactly how you feel.

Our names are Mike & Quoc, and we once had an idea for an iPhone application just like you, but we didn’t know how to program apps for the iPhone, and Quoc didn’t even own one.

Since then, we’ve published over 20 iPhone apps, many of which climbed to the top of their rankings in the app store.

And the craziest part of all this is – we never programmed any of them.

That’s right. Our entire business was built without ever having to program one application ourselves.

 

 

Download Your Guide right Now! (Click Here)

 

We’ve spent the last few months laying out exactly how YOU can make your iPhone app idea come to life with no programming experience whatsoever, and we put it all into the ultimate guide: How to Make iPhone Applications With No Programming Experience: A Step-By-Step Guide to Creating and Selling Your Own App.

 

 

“You can have the best idea in the world for an application, but until it’s created and on sale, you’ve got nothing. There’s no better time to get started than now.”

 

PROOF You Should Listen to Every Word We Say About Building an iPhone Application

There are a ton of other How to Make iPhone App Guides out there. We know this. A lot of them are decent too.

 

But, we also know that NONE of them have the same type of information that we have to offer, and NONE have the same experience that we do in the App Store.

 

As of February 2nd, 2010, our company, Thinking Drone, LLC (which includes Free The Apps!, Hipposoft, and Moon Apps in the App Store), has published 22 applications and has registered a total of over 10 million downloads.

 

We have reached the #1 application in the Photography and Utilities category several times with different applications.

Our highest overall ranking was the #3 TOP FREE APPLICATION in the App Store, which generated a total of101,443 downloads in a single day.

Create music video for Era

  • $15,000 worth in money and prizes
  • Host: Era
  • Universal Music is in search of an aspiring filmmaker to come up with a “treatment” for a music video for their progressive classical musical act, ERA. Like the band Gorillaz, ERA is a faceless concept rather than a band or solo artist and Universal are looking for a concept video with new creative characters and plot. To participate, submit either your film/animation reel or an initial treatment of the Ameno video to be considered.

    If selected, you will be asked to develop your treatment into the completed official music video, which will be premiered at a central London cinema, aired on MTV, VH1, other music channels as well as through Era’s online networks. 

    The selected filmmaker will receive up to $10,000 of filmmaking equipment and will have worked with the World’s largest record company. In addition, $5,000 will be distributed between the remaining submitting filmmakers according to the overall percentage of votes for their submission.
