Well...
tension, climax and relief -- one of the most essential patterns in music (and art in general).
There are various ways to build up tension and resolve it: mainly through harmonics (hard), through loudness (easy), through rhythm (moderate) or a combination of all three. As for how to implement these effects concretely, the easiest way to learn should be to listen to how your favourite musicians do it and then copy them. The harder but in return more substantiated way should be to read some books on or do some courses in music composition. |
