Pedal point is a great technique composers can use to build tension in a piece of music. It is the act of sustaining a note or playing a consistent note pattern usually underneath a series of higher-pitched harmonies, often creating dissonance, which lends to that feeling of tension. In this video, we're going to explore how this technique shows up in different ways in some Doom MIDIs over the years.
