Sound Refuge

If you just want to let your musical mind wonder throughout three sharps, this track is for you.

The root of this track is firmly E7 (A major). There is a lot going on here, but it holds to the key. Musicians can easily have difficulty in sharp keys, so without the burden of a tempo chasing you, take your time and listen deeply to the melodic possibilities within these rich sounds.

For scales, you have the E mixolydian scale and the E major pentatonic scale. For strong tones, as done elsewhere, they are arranged in somewhat of an order of sonority. For the Idea starter, consider the rhythms and note lengths to be… approximate.
