Summary
Circle of Interval Magicians: https://www.skool.com/circle-of-interval-magicians/about In this episode, Frank explores how pedal tones can do more than create tension. A sustained note can gently reset the listener’s ear, allowing bold harmonic transitions to feel natural and fresh. By holding a single tone long enough, the listener’s memory of the previous harmony begins to fade, creating space for new musical ideas to arrive smoothly. This technique can be especially powerful in storytelling music, helping guide the audience through harmonic changes without confusion.
