Abstract

Composers have expressed and explored their musical territory by reusing and reshaping musical materials within a tonal context. This paper discusses music composition with interesting manipulations of the melody and harmony, as embodied in the “Chromatic scale” system. By using the chromatic scale system, the FUNKI Q.U.T composition is to be explored. The outcome of this exploratory composition gave a new perspective on the art of composing. The melodic construction is made simple to show how chromatic approaches is applied without creating too much dissonant with other melodic stream played by the other instruments. In conclusion, the potential of creating new musical work with chromaticism by present composers has not been delved into seriously in the past decades.
