Greetings, HMF community. I hope you're all doing great. Today, I'm sharing my new entry for this week, corresponding to week 164. I'm grateful for the support from the community and the organizers.

Today, I bring you an improvisation over a funk track that was genuinely very difficult for me to flow with. It wasn't easy since it only has one chord, and expressing ideas can feel limiting. However, in the end, I think I managed to get a very good take, as making sense of a base like that is characterized by having only a single emotion, even though the track marks a beginning and an end.

Typically, beginner musicians in the field of improvisation run short of ideas; I think I'm at that level, hehehe. You usually need at least a minimum of two chords, but this track neither varies nor changes into any inversion of the same chord.

I chose this track because I took on a new challenge: learning to give meaning to a static and specific environment, which I define as the harmony of a single chord. I had a lot of resistance at first, but I've been influenced this week by several guitarists who are capable of doing many things over just one chord, so I took some approaches without losing my essence when improvising.

I will soon make some improvements regarding expanding my musical vocabulary. I'll be integrating better arpeggios soon to give more dynamics to the melodies and be able to place the best ones for each beat within the accompanying harmony. Although these won't be reflected immediately, it will happen progressively. It's not easy to master these concepts, even though they are basic when we talk about simple triads.

Apart from that, I also chose this track because, honestly, I've been very depressed. I've lost friends and loved ones due to migration issues. The truth is, I can't stay in this vicious cycle; I have to keep moving forward. Only God knows how long I will remain in this country. I truly hope things improve much more than I expect in record time. I know there's a lot of mentality to change, starting with my own, to function in that desired model of a just, meritocratic, and opportunity-filled society.

So, to lighten my days, I think funk is one of the genres that best influences my mood. Using a lot of R&B themes for improvisations makes those genres immerse me in very important and poignant memories; I tend to get filled with nostalgia. That's why I'll try to use fast styles and rhythms for a while, while my mood improves. My emotions have been seriously damaged these days. I need to change the song, and don't get me wrong, communicating this doesn't make me vulnerable; I'm just exposing the things that fuel my sound. I know everyone has problems they don't share, and it's not necessary to do so. For my particular case, it's better to expose it to flow through it, and the good thing about writing down my emotions is that I drain them here and it helps me keep going.

Without further ado, I share this musical piece with you. Thank you very much, HIVE community!

Saludos, comunidad de HMF. Espero que estén excelentes, hoy les participo mi nueva entrada para esta semana correspondiente a la semana 164, agradecido por el apoyo de la comunidad, y al apoyo de los organizadores.

Hoy les traigo una improvisacion en una pista funk que realmente me costo muchisimo fluir con ella, no fue facil ya que solamente tiene un acorde y expresar ideas se hace corto, sin embargo al final creo que consegui una muy buena toma, ya que darle sentido a esa base tiene la carecteristica de que solo hay una sola emocion, a pesar de que la pista marque un principio y un fin.

Normalmente los musicos principiantes en el ambito de improvisacion se quedan cortos, creo que yo estoy en ese nivel jejeje, normalmente se necesita al menos minimo por lo maximo dos acordes, pero esta pista ni varia y tampoco cambia hacia alguna inversion del mismo acorde.

He elegido esta pista porque asumi un nuevo reto de aprender a darle sentido a un ambiente estatico y especifico el cual defino como la armonia de un solo acorde. Al principio tuve mucha resistencia, pero he estado siendo influido por varios guitarristas en la semana que son capaces de realizar muchas cosas en solo un acorde, por lo que tome algunas aproximaciones sin perder mi esencia al momento de improvisar.

Pronto hare unas mejoras con referencia a expandir mi vocabulario musical, integrare proximamente mejores arpegios para darle mas dinamica a las melodias y poder ubicar las mejores para cada tiempo dentro de armonia que acompaña, aunque no se veran reflejadas tan inmediatamente sino que sera progresivamente, no es facil dominar esos conceptos a pesar de que son basicos, cuando hablamos de triadas basicas.

De resto tambien elegi esta pista porque he estado la verdad muy deprimido, he perdido amigos y seres queridos por los temas de las migraciones, la verdad no puedo seguir en este circulo vicioso, sino seguir avanzando, la verdad solo Dios sabra hasta cuando voy a permanecer en este pais, ojala las cosas mejores mucho mas de lo que espero en un tiempo record, se que hay mucha mentalidad por cambiar empezando por la mia para funcionar en ese modelo de sociedad justa, meritocratica y llena de oportunidades que se desea.

Entonces para aliviar mis dias creo que el funk es uno de los generos que influyen mejor el estado de animo, usar muchos temas R&B para las improvisaciones cuando esos generos me sumergen en recuerdos muy importantes y comprometedores, tiendo a llenarme de nostalgia, por eso tratare por un tiempo de usar estilos y ritmos rapidos, mientras mi estado de animo mejora, he sido muy seriamente dañado en mis emociones estos dias, necesito cambiar la cancion, y no me malinterpreten, no por comunicar esto me hago vulnerable, solo expongo las cosas que alimentan mi sonido, se que todo el mundo tiene problemas que no comparten, y tampoco es necesario hacerlo, para mi caso particular es mejor exponerlo para fluirlo y lo bueno de escribir mis emociones es que las dreno por aqui y me ayuda seguir adelante.

Sin más preámbulos, les comparto esta pieza musical. ¡Muchas gracias, comunidad de HIVE!

Bro @thonykx01 this was a really beautiful entry. I could feel both the challenge and the emotion behind your improvisation. Taking on a one-chord track is no joke, but you managed to make it flow with your own vibe.
