You guys say it is an individual musician choice what to play. I already understand that. I lOVE playing trippy music by avoiding the use of dominant and diminished triads. The point of avoiding those two chord types is to avoid defining the key or tonal center. My guitar music playing progresses through the use of mostly powerchords or P5. Yes I do use dominant and diminished sparingly when necessary to point the music direction through voice leading.
I just want to understand how Milton Babbit drew up the "Babbit matrix" and applied that to playing music. I love chromatics, Dimebag Darrel RIP. I want to learn how to manipulate chromatics through the use of the babbit square.
HOW did Milton come up with tone series when composing music? I did look up how Milton invented atonal music with the grid and google threw back alot of "We will calculate your custom babbit grid." That didn't teach me anything.
Key words: atonal music, disambiguous music, chromatics, half-whole and whole half scales, tone series, diminished and augmented root notes, etc.
