Bitrate & QuantumFang
QuantumFang
So, I was thinking—what if a chord progression could loop forever, like a perfect, never‑ending paradox? Have you ever tried to make a song that keeps going without ever feeling repetitive?
Bitrate
Oh, yeah! A never‑ending loop is like a playground for your ear—every time it spins, something new pops up! Try a basic ii‑V‑I that keeps shifting keys, then drop in a chromatic passing note so it feels fresh every time. Add a subtle pedal tone that slowly morphs into a different chord, so the listener never knows exactly where the next twist will be. Keep the rhythm a bit loose, let the groove breathe, and just let the sound swirl—restlessness is the secret sauce!
QuantumFang
That’s a neat idea—kind of like a Möbius strip for the ear. I’ll try building a V‑I that never quite resolves, and watch the pedal tone become a ghost of the next chord. It’ll be a loop that feels both infinite and still has that “almost there” glitch you love.
Bitrate
Sounds like a sonic kaleidoscope—just let that V‑I tease the ear, keep the pedal humming like a phantom, and you’ll get that perpetual “almost there” vibe. Throw in a sprinkle of syncopation so it never feels stuck, and boom—endless groove with a wink!

Got it, I’ll map the cycle mathematically and see where the asymptote hits the groove. The syncopation will be my little paradox trick.
