I have completed my review of the specified material.
Yes , very dark results were achieved. Was almost too confusing at points where you would be phrasing 1 beat set in Aeolian
, your brother too, but then he would begin to sing in Hypo-Phrygian nearing the end of the beat set. As much as I love he unexpected, some of it was confusing as hell. certain parts anyway. This is not your writings, but rather seemingly your copings. I say cope for the reasons that your underscored background changes are corrective thus making the foreground patterns an allowable fit, theoretically and tonally. Your brothers musical roots may be different and with respect to them and what he expresses, yet he still needs to unite with you more. As expansive as music is, it is still confined to this world. What I am saying basically is your brother should follow your directives more, and when you say no, the tail does not wag the dog, he should comply instead him forcing you in creating outlandish workarounds to make the work listenable. Work with the dissonence because I do hear a unique magic that forms between you two. You compliment what he plays, but that is a two way street. The release of these songs are of great contrast compared to previously created releases by mdsonic. The play counts speak for themselves. If your brother took a theory class at a local college covering the musical modes I believe it would enlighten him in ability to better express his music. mdsonic is a flexible machine. This fuel you have with your brother...it does ignite, but it is tricky. Success awaits from cooperation and patience to understand such a dark move forward.
Best to you both, and your sound.
MORPH!
