https://songtalk.s3.amazonaws.....com/wp-content/uploa Our second batch of listener songs for our songwriting challenge 2023 to write in a mode included a song (mostly) in Phrygian, one definitely in Phrygian, and one with modal interchange. We talked about: The Song Talk Meetup Being sure you incorporate the unique intervals of a mode in your chord choices and melodies Phrygian is not only for death metal Where your home chord is matters in solidifying the identity of your mode Anyone heard of the Dutch ska band Doe Maar? Yep, we found ’em! You want to have a nice simple and catchy chorus if the other sections of your song are complex The goal of this challenge was to bring modal thinking more into your consciousness. Did it for you? Let us know at feedback@songtalk.ca.
