There's this electronica artist called Barry Can't Swim, and his songs usually involve beautiful euphoric chords with an uplifting rave feeling to them. Let's sit at the piano and discuss what the core concepts are behind understanding such a chord progression!

We'll specifically look at God Is The Space Between Us, and Lone Raver, and I'll show it all on the piano, so you can follow along no matter what DAW you use for music production.
