Triit

What it is about

Go on and try it: it's not trite.

How it was written

By extracting a melody from a harmony.

Melodisation, an invented word, is the process of extracting a melody from a harmony.

It works by writing a chord progression, selecting one note from each chord, and stringing them together to form a melody. Have never read about this method before, so have added it to my book and called it, melodisation, to emphasise that it is the opposite of harmonisation, adding a harmony to a melody.

There is a lot of trial and error involved, but the process is easy, and fun too.
