keysguitar thankyou for trying to improve my understanding of phil's words :) Phil yes that was my intention, to understand the progression in my own terms and also to learn how else it could have been interpreted, which you generously took time to give me! thanks! Pauloski the Hindemith book is quite old right? Thanks I will look into it, then perhaps I will have more interesting questions ::: Thankyou everyone for your help! I'll get started on this much. Case solved and closed !!

Could you elaborate further? I'm unclear about what you mean by 'symmetrical scale-diminished' :0 Also, what do you mean by 'use each scale for each chord'? Do you mean using them to write the melody and other lines? I appreciate your help so far! I want to know more!

What a coincidoince I've heard of that - I already had it shipped to me a few days ago it's coming :D I'll study it alongside school work

Guys thats great! I retried these progressions with your information in mind and it blew me :D it would seem that Am-D belongs to both A Dorian and G. I never thought of it that way before! @ParanoidFreak Your extra info about the chord progressions by 'chromatic 3rds' - very nice of you I learnt some more! @Composer Phil You say these are common progressions in film scoring, yes they do pull my emotions, but how do people go about finding chords when writing for film? Vague idea -- > Trial and error? Obviously these chords are familiar to you, but is there somewhere where I could learn all this harmony? I want to know more.

Dude I totally enjoyed this. I'm really digging the mix and the instrumentation -what is that, a sitar playing that motif? It's sad that you didn't develop this idea, and maybe it was meant to be that mess of writing you did in the middle - oh yea it's pretty muddled there, timings off too. But I really really liked the track, made my hour :toothygrin: !

Hi Young Composers! I was mucking around the other day on the keyboard, and I hit 2 strange progressions during it. 1) Am-D(-Am) 2) A-Cm(-A) If I remember right the first set of chords sounded as if it was taken from blues or something, but I have no idea! What modes are these from? And how would I compose with them (what style would use)? That's all!
