The issue of homelessness is breaching a boiling point in the PNW. In Seattle and King County, the homeless population rose about 13.8% from 2020 to 2022 and over 300 homeless individuals have died from Fentanyl overdoses in 2022 alone. Housing alone isn't a solution, it seems it is only one aspect of a more comprehensive strategy.

Using the same 4 chords I simply change the rhythm, make major and minor 7ths then do a substitution or two and kablooey.... Jazz.

Because the diminished is a symmetrical chord, meaning it is minor thirds stacked atop one another, any of its notes can be the root. That means one diminished 7th chord can transport us to FOUR different keys. How cool is that?!?!

Description: How would I learn music over again? If not the university then what path would I take? It’s a matter of aligning intentions and goals. My goal was to be a songwriter/touring musician the university taught me to be an analyst and classical performer. Which wasn’t my intention and I lost sight of my goals along the way. Full Article: https://www.songrecipe.com/post/how-would-i-learn-music-if-i-had-to-do-it-over-again What would I do? 1. **Mentorship**: Find those who are better than me and go learn from them. Try to keep up. Sweep the floor in the studio. Do whatever it takes, within moral and legal bounds, to work with them. 2. **Get some formal training**: Get professional training but don’t view that training as hard and fast rules. Think of them as guidelines. I would avoid anything that assigns me a grade in exchange for classes and seminars. I would take it seriously as if I were being graded and that grade mattered. You get out of a system what you put into that system, after all. 3. **Make Music**: Even if it’s bad, make music. and don’t kind yourself that it’s good, because it’s probably not. The only way to tell if the music is good is if people, strangers, not your girlfriend or your mom, are interested in hearing more. --- ### Chapters 00:00 01:04 - My story 03:25 - Aligning intentions and goals 04:47 - What I’d do instead of going to music school 06:14 - What I am here to do --- ### Hardware **Video** Camera 1: Nikon Z30 Camera 2: iPhone 12 Max **Audio** Mic 1: Rode VideoMic Go Mic 2: Neumann TLM 103 ### Software Audio: Logic Pro X Video: Final Cut Pro
