Richard thanks for dropping by 
I am finding this an interesting way of exploring the modes. Reacquaint myself with the pattern and explore, find different phrases/motifs and see what can be done dancing around certain box patterns, for example here 1,2b,4,5b or
2b,3b,5b,6b or 7b,1,3b,C that kind of thing. And obviously pattern links and bridges.
But this was a weird one but hey no surprise
Now I don’t mean weird, as it has more flats than a mid 60s tower block, more what Darrell referenced on resolving. I really had to focus on resolving to the tonic G and my head did not want to go there. I kept wanting to finish on the 2b !! And it took a while to stop myself doing that. Now I know the G Locrian is born out of the Parent Major Scale Ab but would there a reason for being drawn to the Ab ? Or am I just the weird one ? The whole BT is dominated by Gm7b5 and from the chord sequence below, I don’t see anything that would pull me to that 2b when resolving a phrase, in the context of the track ?
BTW way I also dabbled with coming in on different beats but it was a bit of a disaster continuity wise. So I need to explore that, maybe just over a drone and get out of my comfort zone.
Not ready to go looking for happy land yet, so I might see if Boris is hiding anywhere and just drop one flat for the next one down ala
The mercury is dropping so some Phrygian seems like a cool place to go !
But for now its back to Solo Blues and OM prep.
Thanks for the listen.
Cheers
Toby
