Q: 1.1.18  1:34 pm hey so. i know these days it's mostly good for naming what notes you have in your scale BUT also there is a way to think of modes where you can use it to go wild and crazy deciding what chords sound good with your melody in what order, cause why does a 5 chord have to be major or. to think sideways about it if we're in C why does the 1 chord have to be the one you go to for resting and resolution what if we always come back to a major 4 chord instead of 1. what if we're really in lydian so everything that sounds like 4 is 1. for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov-OAmpcRfw is lydian it doesn't even have any accidentals anywhere it's like the music is hanging from some wings it grew on its way to the next universe
A: i didn't listen to the whole thing, but i skipped all around throughout the whole thing and heard no lydian. i can make no argument for that piece being in lydian. very much key of C i hear there, everywhere i looked
