Nachusa - Atonal Composition

Expand your horizons if you dare. Feed your ears and music you may not be familiar with. Such as Atonal music or serialism as it is called. It is also referred to as the 12-tone technique. Keep in mind it is a very strict method of composing where your notes and chords are selected from a tone row of 12 tones you have built. An absence of tonality is basically the goa of serialism but you can bend the rules if you wish a bit. The tone row I use is seen at the very end of the video. Sometimes atonal music is just the way I feel and I get a fulfillment from it because I know it's music that has never been played or heard. But it is such a strict and rigid method and even though it may sound random it definitely is not. This method of composition was developed by Arnold Schoenberg and a pupil of his named Anton Webern. Check their music out. Tonal music has been so exhausted and can't express every human emotion or feeling and that's where serialim/atonality can fill that void. If you don't like it, it's okay. it is something that may have to grow on you. Anyway, friends and I took a trip to the Nachusa Grasslands near Franklin Grove Illinois, and I fell in love with the peace, tranquility and serenity. The scenery takes you back to a time before man inhabited the area. If you want a true glimpse of that, then this is the place to go. Thanks for watching. You may have noticed my friend, Marty running wild in the grasslands. Special thanks to him ad my good friends Bill and Penny Guynn for taking me there. We all had a great time. I could have easily composed some pretty major 7th mellow chords etc but to me the place deserved something beyond predictable music. It needed unpredictable music. Serialism is a method to do that. I never have to worry about copyright issues with these compositions. Thanks for tuning in!
