Pitch Variation - A Matter Of Urgency
By Kwote
http://kwotemusic.com
Scratching is a lot like your emotions. It can be very reserved and almost non expressive, or it can be full of intensity. Imagine if you had an emergency and you had to convey it immediately to the person next to you. It's safe to assume that if you kind of mumbled the message in a lifeless way, they probably wouldn't take you seriously. However, that is not the typical way we express ourselves during an emergency situation.
The opposite can also be true. If you were at the dinner table and you were asking the person next to you to pass the salt, you probably wouldn't act too alarmed about it. However, many times in scratching we tend not to express the right emotions at the right times. Even worse we simply don't express much at all. Working on pitch variation and the timing of such variations is a great way to pull yourself out of the dark cell you may be currently imprisoning yourself in.
Don't Throw Away The Key
Speaking of prison, if you were in a jail cell and you had the key you'd most likely open the cell and make a break for it. So why is it that we often place ourselves into boxes we think we can't get out of? Often times it boils down to focusing too much on the problem and not the solution.
A great way to avoid self imposed limitation is to focus in on pitch variation. Whether you're a beginner or advanced at scratching, you've probably painted yourself into a corner enough times. By taking what you already know and working on expanding the pitch range of it, you can greatly expand your expressive capabilities.
Hey! Look Out!
Various pitches communicate various things. Extremely high pitches communicate tension and intensity. On the other hand, extremely low pitches communicate release or a relaxed state of being. There are times to be intense and there are times not to. Our goal when relying on pitch to express what we want is to use it at the times it is necessary to convey such emotions.
The range of pitch in scratching is immense. For those familiar with turntables that have ultra pitch functions, you realize the pitch can go 50% faster or slower than the original speed of the record. With such a vast amount of octaves to play in the options reach far and wide. The best part is you don't even need an ultra pitch turntable to access this amazing pitch range. It can all be done manually when executing your techniques.
This is a great attribute for scratching to have because it represents all the different levels of intensity that scratching can have. Some examples of situations that call for certain levels of intensity would have to do with the melodic and rhythmic content of the beat you are scratching over. If the melody of the beat is laid back, you could compliment the beat with some lower, more even tempered pitches. If the beat is fast and the drums are pounding strong, high pitch scratching would be a great way to add to that intensity. Likewise, you may want to subtract from the mood at times when it becomes too intense by scratching in the lower pitch range.
Woah Nelly!
There are times when you may want to cut the variations down and simply stay within a tighter pitch range. Situations like this may include a beat where the overall mood is very static and you want to match that mood throughout the length of the track. Or perhaps the chorus is meant to only express one type of feeling and you want to match that emotion. These examples are by no means all inclusive. The challenge and the fun for you as the artist is to think and discover multitudes of ways to use pitch variation to your advantage.
To The Moon Alice!
As you can see, there's a myriad of possibilities within the concept of pitch. It is important to realize that for every scratch you can do, there's a chance to do it in a variety of alternate pitches. It's truly a multiplier of all your scratch vocabulary. Whether it's a scratch you've been doing for years, or something you just picked up, the concept of pitch expansion can and should be applied.
A good way to get tons out of this concept is to place limitations on yourself. Imagine you're a painter and you've decided to paint a mountainside. However, you only have three colors on your paint palette. You want to paint a brown mountain that has many different cracks, crannies, nooks and shadows. The three colors you're restricted to using are brown, white and black. While that may seem like an extreme limitation, the reality is anyone with decent painting experience could tell you it's more than enough.
Floodgates Unleashed
Now that you have a better idea of pitch and its function in the greater world of self expression, it's an excellent time to start experimenting with it. Even if you just begin using it a little bit, you'll notice quickly how much of an impact it will have on your ability to express yourself more effectively. You may even have extensive experience in building your pitch vocabulary. Despite that fact, it is likely you are neglecting at least some aspect of your scratching that could benefit from a wider range of pitch choices. Start being heard more. Demand people's attention!
