Summary
Download the free guide “5 Spells Every Composer Needs” and learn interval-based composition techniques that create motion and emotional growth: https://musicintervaltheory.academy/spells/ In this episode, Frank explores how music can feel alive even when harmony remains static. Using examples like Bolero, he explains how motion comes from shaping intensity through dynamics, register shifts, density, and interval tension. Instead of adding more chords to fix boredom, composers can design the energy arc and let emotional growth unfold within a single harmonic space.
