“Pew pew pew!”

Hey! Another card-carrying member of the "I heard Silvertone first" club. Me, now: Also lots of Kaz Hawkins, Marsheaux, and SPC ECO.

Unholy carp!

Perhaps you were too distracted by all the queen references?

Happy birthday!🎊🎉🎁🎂🎈 (party favour noise)

You done dewed et? Dude!

Aw, condolences to Al and Claire and all who have met her.

In less than 20 minutes.

You probably won’t be able to watch the whole thing, but what happens starting at ~6:00 is pretty brilliant:

I do, I was recently listening to Gone to Earth by David Sylvian and Sleeps with Fishes by Pieter Nooten. I was listening to energetic Yello as well as... mellow Yello.

Off axis? Or perhaps he did?

“Hold my beer...” I do not recommend listening to the above. This is crap of the crappiest order. Crappy crap.

Ah, okay, I missed the part about “modulating from C ionian/major to C aeolian/minor. Thank you for clarifying. Part of it is you’re talking right at the cusp of my understanding, so I’m just barely keeping up. Up until just a couple years ago, my world revolved entirely around the harmonic minor scale. Derail away, it’s all music making. Also: noice! My setup should be so tidy and accommodating.

Wait, I’m confused: I thought A natural minor was the relative minor to C major. I think you got them swapped: C natural minor is the relative minor to Eb major.

(squints) I see bacon!

Actually, that makes perfect sense, especially as a learning tool. I love the concept of inversions and voicing, but I’m trying to compose, so unlike improvisation, there’s no time pressure. It still strikes me as a useful way of thinking of things. I would like to know more about these “chainings” (“families”?) , but that’s an area of music theory that I am sorely lacking, and will have to research on my own. Thank you, as always, for the thoughtful response.
