If Nothing Is at Stake, Nothing Is Interesting
Tension isn’t about dissonance.
Tension is about unanswered questions.
When music feels flat, it’s often because:
- Everything resolves too quickly
- Nothing feels uncertain
- There’s no reason to keep listening
Tension asks:
“What happens next?”
Challenge:
Write a short phrase that does not feel finished.
End it:
- On an unstable note
- On an unresolved rhythm
- On a held silence
- In the “wrong” place
