piano practice, post-camp Week One

Following John Medeski's interpretation of Ran Blake's polytonality exercise, I've been calmly, patiently checking out the sound of C# major triad over C major triad all week, so much so that I can now accurately sing the C# triad while sounding C major...and it feels "tense" but not "wrong." Cool stuff indeed.

Next week I will briefly sit with D major triad over C major, but not too long since that's just Lydian mode and I hear that pretty readily. Eb major over C major will be fun, I'm certain....
