It's been 12 years of music and there's a lot about musician Kim Taehyung that needs to be highlighted: knowledge of music theory, skills, talent as a composer, writer and producer. Vision, sensitivity and artistic identity and timeless and intentional masterpieces. A THREAD🎙️⋆

His musicality, theoretical knowledge, musical references and skills are reflected in his compositions, in the structure used in the songs, in the melodies and harmonic progressions, and in how he uses all of this to convey to the listener what is inside him. #12YearsWithTaehyung

MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE Kim Taehyung plays instruments and has knowledge of “Functional Harmony”. Functional harmony is the analysis of the function of chords in relation to the tonality of a musical composition. It is a concept in music theory that relates to emotions and feelings.

Functional harmony is the way in which chords are organized and related in a piece of music. Harmony ensures balance between notes, generating sounds that awaken feelings and auditory sensations in the listener. HAPPY 12 YEARS WITH V #12YearsWithTaehyung

Functional harmony is a fundamental element in musical interpretation, as it allows the expression of emotions and nuances, creating a sense of tension and resolution, contributing to the cohesion and expressiveness of the music. HAPPY 12 YEARS WITH V #12YearsWithTaehyung

He is a deeply intentional and purposeful musician, vocalist, composer, arranger and artist. He uses musical art to express his thoughts, feelings, concepts, vision, personal experiences, and to connect and identify with them as he shares them with the world. #12YearsWithTaehyung

The harmonic field used in each of his songs, the progression performed in each session such as intro, verses, pre-chorus, chorus, instrumental, bridge, tag and the instruments used, are purposeful and specifically generate the effect that Taehyung wants to cause in the listener.

Kim Taehyung conveys the feelings involved in the experiences that generate his compositions: pain, sadness, frustration, anger, love, joy, overcoming, happiness, calm, peace, tranquility, hope. The vocal and instrumental stylistic choices cooperate to achieve this result.

Kim Taehyung's knowledge of music theory and refined vocal technique, combined with his emotional depth, connect us in such a special and unique way, leading us to many sensations. HAPPY 12 YEARS WITH V #12YearsWithTaehyung

SKILLS: “ABSOLUTE PITCH” There are people who have absolute pitch and others who have “RELATIVE PITCH”. Or even both. The main difference is that absolute pitch is an innate and rare ability. Relative pitch can be developed with training. Taehyung has both of these abilities.

“Absolute pitch” is a rare ability that allows one to identify musical notes without relying on a tonal reference. People with absolute pitch can name notes and chords, sing any key, sing songs by ear, and compose music using memory. HAPPY 12 YEARS WITH V #12YearsWithTaehyung

“Relative pitch” is a more common ability than absolute pitch, which allows us to perceive relationships between notes and understand harmonic progressions based on a reference. People with relative pitch identify structural patterns in sounds, regardless of their complexity.

I also need to highlight how improved his MELODIC AND HARMONIC EAR is, and how much I appreciate the fact that in his solo songs both within BTS and as a solo artist, for the most part, Kim Taehyung himself produces the arrangement of the vocal openings and also records them.

I really appreciate Kim Taehyung's vocal ability to perform any VOICE: be it baritone, tenor, contralto or soprano. Notice his unique timbre even doing harmonies in 4 o'clock, Stigma, Singularity, Inner Child, Snow Flower, FRI(END)S, Christmas Tree, Winter Bear, Scenery...

The difference between harmonic ear and melodic ear lies in the perception of sounds: harmonic ear is related to the perception of sounds that vibrate simultaneously. The development of harmonic ear can be done by memorizing the sound of chords. #12YearsWithTaehyung
