In Praise of the Saddest Chord
from Ambientblog Mixes · host Peter van Cooten for Ambientblog.net
Could this be ‘the saddest mix of all time’? I don’t think so myself, I would rather call it melancholic – in a pleasant way. But it’s a fact that all of these tracks are in D minor (Dm), which is said to be ‘the saddest chord’:“The D minor chord (often written as Dm) is a chord that evokes a sense of melancholy and contemplation on the negative side of situations. Like many other minor chords, Dm can create a heavy, serious atmosphere — and sometimes even creates an almost otherworldly sense of drama.” For a detailed tracklisting and more info (including a surround version), visit: https://www.ambientblog.net/?p=28862
