It doesn't matter if you consciously know something is false if your brain still presents it as true. Think anxiety. Or like on the movie A Beautiful Mind (I know it's a movie but it happens IRL too). Or being under the influence

Sorry, I submitted my comment too early by mistake (fat finger on mobile phone) and I heavily edited it before I noticed your reply (your last paragraph won't make sense). You got a nice point there. I guess I conflated western music w

by kaoD 8y ago
The thing all of these new notations miss is the fact that western music is constructed stacking thirds on top of each other. A major chord is a root, a 3rd on top of it, and another minor 3rd (or R+3+5 relative to its root). Add another 3r

Unless the problem space allows you to keep searching after a solution and discard it if a second one is found. Heuristics are fast and natural, but hard to get right. They're handy to constrain the problem space though, but I would st

Music is completely relative and context dependent. There's no such thing as an absolute minor scale: it all depends on what has been and what's to come. It's hard to derive a strong tonality from just a scale, they're p
792.
by kaoD 8y ago
Given your second paragraph... are you perhaps confusing tonality with chord quality? Amin (the chord) is a diatonic chord of C major (the tonality). Also, it's easy to play "random" chords from a tonality and end up in a dif

How so? The private key never leaves the device, the certificates are site-based, preventing phishing, and they require actual physical interaction to authenticate. This is miles better than password-based login.
