Creating Tension and Release in Music - Music Composition

 

spicy hot take: too many youtube music people are incapable of expressing anything to do with music theory without trying to reference tension and release, and it's rubbing off in the way people ask questions on reddit and theory discords—in general I think abstract considerations are best dealt with after you've established the concrete ones.
