Sad piano chords trance how to#
This is how to create a happy song - use fifths frequently.ģ.) Slow tempo, 100 and below, but usually Andante, Adagietto, Adagio, and this Largo - which was used in cello/double bass part in my song Downfall of the Kingdom (but removed when it was made into dubstep)Ĥ.) long notes or Very long notes, with long rests, or slow chords, <- here the chords aren't continuousĥ.) Slow arpeggio/broken chords (example, a harp playing a B minor broken chord, B-C#-F#-C# B-C#-F#-C# B-C#-F#-C#. The hometone (in chord progression equivalent) is C, the fifth is G. For example, in the C Major scales triads:Ĭ, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bdim. and in its triads/chord progressions avoid using Major chords frequently or you will end up like Die Moldau Your example song, Polaris by deadmau5, is in A minor key.Ģ.) Also avoid using fifths after hometones if it's a sad song in Major key. I made Classical music and sad Ambient music since before I make EDM, I do some shit to make it sad:ġ.) minor Keys (not just minor chords) <- important. There is a magic you can do in chord progression and in feeling, to make it sad. Trance songs (except uplifting trance) are usually in minor key - but it doesn't sound sad.

Search for Vltava Die Moldau by Bedrich Smetana (the one in 1800's). I have heard music in my childhood (on which are classical) that are in minor Keys but does not sound sad.

Not all minor songs have a sad feeling, in fact I have a song in D Major that sounds sad.
