+Music lesson:
+- Talked a bit about my music album _future formant_
+	- I think the worst track is _idea_, since it doesn't do a great job of combining vocals and neurofunk
+	- I am most happiest with _the creek next to my home_, as it feels the closest I've ever gotten to the chill hip hop/downtempo stuff I listened to back when I first got into music. It also has a strong emotional part
+	- However, most of my music lacks the emotional dynamism that I would like.
+- In particular, I want to analyze [メルティランドナイトメア / はるまきごはん feat.初音ミク - Melty Land Nightmare](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEy36W1xX8c) because it has a lot of emotional dynamism while being similar to my music in that it doesn't actually change that much.
+	- Royal road chord progression (4, 5, inverted 1, 6)
+	- There's no resolution in the chord progression; there's a constant rising feeling
+	- Using the 4 chord as its home so often
+	- Really tight intro, measure repeated only twice before vocals come in
+	- 9 measures in the intro; the extra measure builds anticipation
+- _Melty Land Nightmare_ has a aimilar chord progression the entire time, so to make emotional moments you need to set up contrasts. For example:
+	- 3:10 adds a new instrument and changes the drums
+	- Could half the speed of the chord progression, then double the speed
+	- Layer more instruments or change instruments
+
+Homework:
+- Make a song that is only two or four chords the entire time
