OK, jazz guitar music theory nerds--there must be, what, a few dozen of us on the planet--here's my new site. Not a ton of articles yet, but I have big plans. Built with #11ty 3.0, which is quite nice!
The Fall 2024 edition of -ette review is now live! And so is the companion podcast, pod-ette, which includes incidental music by... me!
In Episode 3, Melanie Hoopes remembers a talk show host talking smack about writers and rushes to their defense. She chats with Cathy Ulrich (“Being the Murdered Jane Doe”), Bryana Joy (“What Audrey One Did” and “What Ophelia Did”), and Kelle Groom (“Babylonian Almanac”). As well as telling us how their pieces came to be, this issue’s writers share how and where they write best. Original music for pod-ette is by Chester Jankowski.
Oh wow, this is kind of big news: Finale music notation is sunsetting!

Just thought of a great way of visualizing the IC vector of the diatonic collection. Stack 7 perfect 4ths. Now list the ICs from the first note, preceded by (7,6,5,…,1).
7 unisons, 6 perfect 4ths, 5 major 2nds, 4 minor 3rds, 3 major 3rds, 2 minor 2nds, 1 tritone.
OK, this is fantastic. I just learned (from @toddbashore) that Brandeis University has a collection of Victor Young's film scores, and they're available on the Internet Archive! Enjoy!
