Ambient #186

[Wade Cornell]

This one is going to be a bit of a stretch for some although it's certainly not fast or in any other way difficult. It's all quite odd and sort of "dark" meditation music. The composer quotes this as alternating between Concert F suspended / F locrrian (mode) and Gb Major #11. Not sure that will help as it's really fairly open for you to impose a melodic (or at least meditative) line over the backing. For soprano and tenor that's G sus / G locrian and Ab Major #11. for sopranino, alto and baritone it's D sus / D locrian and Eb Major #11. 1st track with sax, 2nd without.

As You know I was trying to keep it to basics, but this piece has little/no chordal center. I copied the description of the composer. There are a number of designations used to describe types of chords e.g. diminished, augmented, suspended, etc. The suspended (sus) is a chord with the third removed and either a fourth or 2nd used to replace it. E.g. either (Concert) F, G, C, F or F, Bb, C, F. The sus chord has a modal vibe about it. The other designation was #13 which is a Major triad plus 7th, 9th, and 13th. These are not too uncommon in jazz notation.
