Hear the rap: 03:20 Hear the Neoclassical: 07:38

This video demonstrates how easy it is to write modern music when you have some theoretical guidelines in place. Writing a minimalist rap beat in harmonic minor only takes a few minutes if you have the proper software. A neoclassical section will be more complicated, but crafting the chords is easy if you understand the theory taught in the last two videos. I am all about USING MUSIC THEORY, not just LEARNING it!

As is often the case though, I decided to "break the rules" and introduce chords from A Dorian into the final arpeggio section because I enjoy the sound of a IV when we are firmly in a minor or harmonic minor scale, it provides a boost of adrenaline and triumph!
