Ever since I learned how to tie chords together using the Wormhole Method, I can’t go back to normal chords. By normal chords I mean chords that all exist in one key, or diatonic. Don’t get me wrong, diatonic music is some of the most beautiful. But when I want to create groove music or beat music, sometimes the emotion of a diatonic chord progression can get in the way of the dance energy. So how can we create a chord progression that doesn’t sit in one key? In principle it is simple, start on any chord, and then just move to any other chord. We don’t have to stay in any key, or any scale or anything. We just teleport from one place to another. This is what I call The Wormhole Method, a method of moving chromatically, outside of a single key. But the details of how we move from one chord to another is where things get interesting.
In this video we'll create a chord progression that moves between Cminor11 and Ebminor11, two chords that don’t belong to the same key. We'll build them and then design our chord voicings using several musical tools: common tones, semitone tension, repositioning and doubling notes and more. Then we'll create a house groove by putting the chords into rhythm using syncopation. We'll create a drum pattern that uses closed and open hihats and ghost snares and kicks. Finally we'll add a synth bass line.
