Dirk & Raven
Raven
Ever wondered how a single chord can be both a mathematical lattice and a wandering story?
Dirk
A chord is just a set of pitches, like a small lattice of points, but when you string them together in a progression it becomes a narrative thread. The math gives you structure; the human ear gives you story.
Raven
Right, the notes are the bricks, the progression is the road they pave—sometimes smooth, sometimes a twist that makes you wonder if the path was planned or just a drunken stumble. The math is the blueprint, the ear is the driver.
Dirk
Exactly. The blueprint is rigid; the driver can still veer off a few degrees and that’s what keeps it from feeling like a spreadsheet.
Raven
Yeah, a spreadsheet would never surprise you, but a tune that bends a chord just enough can feel like a secret conversation—an invitation to a quiet corner where the music and the mind both linger.
