Milksap
Montage
“This is a truly virtuosic creation: 52 pop singles in the United States that used the progression, arranged by key... Album covers, animated charts of the chord changes, and visual snippets demonstrating lyrical content flash by while you listen.” (http://www.pmgentry.net/blog/) |

Notes

Intel Inside: 4 syllables = 4 notes |
|
One guy keeps objecting that there are five, not four notes in the jingle. Here’s why I think it’s just four! Of course there's a “blang” before the four notes I discuss. I'm not dealing with that “blang” because (a) as Peter D Kaye says, it's more of an episodic marker to break from the preceding ad; and (b) anyhow it's a complex of timbres and of several more notes, not just one more. It's polyphonic and the four notes aren’t, unless you count what can be heard in the reverb. I decided to deal with the four notes of the actual jingle/transscansion itself, not with the three or four notes involved in the episodic marker. There's enough in the four notes of the transcanssion on its own for a 15-minute edutainment clip (more IOCM, more commutations, etc.). There’s a little more on the web about the episodic marker here and here... Besides, as Walter Werzowa, the jingle’s composer, put it: “‘'Intel Inside’, that’s four syllables, so four notes”. More about the jingle (for the time being in Spanish only) in this article. |
