Beyond Music Theory

Creating Harmonic Tension With Anticipation and Suspension


Listen Later

In today's episode I will be approaching a technique that can be used as means to create, release, prolong tension and even preparing the harmonic transitions while you are going  from chord to chord. It is a way of creating harmonic interest and  depth. Typically, the effect can be found at the end of phrases or in  cadences, but you don't have to feel restricted by this, as you will  hear.
