TUNE: MNEMO
Mnemo is an example of simple chord arpeggios
in the left hand (breaking up a chord into single notes, strung together
on a line) and a rising and falling melodic curve for the Right hand.
There are only three chords in this 4 measure pattern (Am-G, F, G),
the same changes as All Along the Watchtower. One chord per measure.
4 chord progressions (one chord per measure) are a rock/pop staple,
are really fun, and the more of these you get under your belt, and
the more you make up, the better. Also, a rolling flowing left hand
is a useful accompaniment to be good at, and this is an alright place
to start. Each measure the left hand goes up and down the chord two
times. The whole thing has a resolute darkness to it. I'd put this
in the Quiet Gothic category.

The
music is dreamy, as the title suggests a Mnemonic remembering, a triggering
of a memory. If you are ready, use the pedal each measure to space
it out. If you are using a synth, try something moody and with some
sustain, but not so much that it just turns into mush. Follow the
fingering for the right hand carefully. It is really just a rise up
the A minor scale, and then falling back down two whole octaves into
the well.
