this was one of the most beautiful classes i’ve attended. mimi yin broke down popular songs, and we collectively saw how changing the pattern influences the feeling of the song (she compared it to the analogy of opening a door).
we discussed how ratios matter, because they’re encoded in our brains (even if they aren’t salient).
spoke about syncopation: chasing (trailing) of hands.
when something comes before or after you expect, it warps your sense of time.
spoke about music being pattern & anti-pattern.
