Subject: The Key of House
Original Message Date: 20-Nov-02 @ 10:45 AM - The Key of House
I know you lot talk about using your ears but I have zero musical skills. Well, that’s not strictly true. It’s just that my theory doesn’t stretch to the “circle of fifths” and my chord progressions are quite basic. Anyway, I have reached the conclusion that both Cm and Am are my favourite keys (both the blues scales though). I find Cm to be quite “techno” sounding (kinda old school) and Am to sound quite “magical” sounding. Would you agree or have I totally imagined it? Basically I wanted to know if you guys think that a lot of (proper) house seems to be in both these keys.
Ps- no sniggering at the back there :-)

but yeah, records are at different speeds so having to pitch them changes the, erm, pitch.
all those ejay things are in the same key though i think. could even be a minor.

But then, it can be dangerous to suggest that you know what someone else is saying, eh?
