DOMi & JD Beck just wrote a full orchestral record using Stravinsky, Ravel and Steve Reich as their reference points. This is what happens when jazz prodigies go full classical 🎹🤯

Hey Niklas!

Personally, I find the augmented chord confusing. It leaves you hanging in the air, not knowing where to go. Meanwhile, the diminished chord is unstable, making it difficult to stay in for a long time. You feel the need to leave as soon as possible, the need to go somewhere.

Thinking about these feelings is how I tell them apart.

Augmented sounds more open and stretched, and diminished sounds squished to me. It becomes more of a feeling than something you actively hear. Danzo's answer is also pretty good, I think.

@John Huang Great score! You beat the second twin, and with a few more tries, you'd probably beat the first one too... now I have to try to beat the triplets lol
