Brian Robison started the topic Lavengood's "novelty layer" in experimental pop/rock? in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 4 years, 10 months agoHi!
I’m currently applying Megan Lavengood’s concept of the “novelty layer” in pop texture (see her 2020 MTO article) to King Crimson’s 1973 album Larks’ Tongues in Aspic.
Is anyone else out there doing work along these lines with selections from progressive rock? art rock? experimental pop? etc.?
Many thanks,
Brian

Both SZA’s “Broken clocks” (2017) and Azealia Banks’s “Anna Wintour” (2018) include melodic sequences that are constructed from pentatonic scales … so, the generic melodic intervals don’t necessarily match, but the csegs do.
