Cynic (Sean Malone) - I'm But A Wave Too... (Variations)

Описание: Dear listeners,

By now you may have noticed my strong interest with the band Cynic, in particular Sean Malone's playing. I wanted to make a video that showed the starting point as to what drew me into Cynic's/Sean Malone's music. The pre-chorus found within "I'm But A Wave Too..." has to be my favourite moment throughout Cynic's catalog. Because I took a strong interest in the band, I quickly scoured the internet for live footage, especially during the Focus era. What I realized early on was that Malone did not play exactly what was recorded on the studio album when playing this music live. Rather he took on a more improvisational approach, hence the purpose of this video. This video will hopefully demonstrate the variations Malone used while playing the pre-chorus for the song "I'm But A Wave Too..." I have also included some harmonic analysis, links to live videos cited, plus one interpretation of my own demonstrating the use of dyadic harmony.

Best,
Alex
