Ah yes, my good friend dissonance, the machination that transforms the beautiful water goddess into a hideous flaming beast, pulls your mind into the deepest pit of hell, and stakes it to the ground with such ferocious determination it makes the angels themselves weep in fear.
Or maybe it's just jazz.
or possibly metal
or blues
or anything really
Dissonance is literally something that sounds bad, and yet i find myself pulled toward it, intrigued by its mysterious quality. I may not be as entrenched in it as some atonal or highly experimental musicians, but it piques my curiosity on how to use it tastefully, forming it into a beautiful tapestry of musical sounds. I don't have all that much to say on the matter really, it's just something that has taken hold of my mind for the moment. However, I encourage you, no matter what genre you play, don't overlook the effect a diminished triad (or diad), or a chromatic break down, or even a little flattened fifth thrown in to an otherwise normal solo can have on your music as a whole.
