Instead of focusing on chord labels, he invites you to think in terms of musical energy—shaped by elements like density, register, rhythm, and orchestration. By aligning harmony with the energy a moment truly needs, your compositions can feel more intentional, clear, and expressive. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-music-interval-theory-podcast-4670368/episodes/think-in-energy-not-chords/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-music-interval-theory-podcast-4670368/think-in-energy-not-chords.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
