Hey there.
So far, I've gotten a lot of great remixes for Apothecary Passageway. Still, a lot of people have been asking me about what "key" this music is in. That's sort of a tough one. After analyzing the music's chord structures, I've been able to break down the song's chords and keys measure by measure. I tried to make things as specific as I could but I wasn't really thinking about it when I wrote it. If you have any more questions about the track, you can always pm me directly. ;-)

I'm going to guide you in measure #'s:
meas. 1-4 First chord riff is in D Major,
5-6 then it pitch-shifts to D-flat. Then back to D major in 7-8
[b]
9-16 [/b]is in D (melodic minor), moves up to F major. Back and forth each successive masure
the following section... 17-24 wasn't written with any specific key in mind. You could lay an e-flat minor or a-flat minor chord under it with minimum dissonance. give it a try
measures 25-30 with the Bass Ostinato line... that's A Major, but a turn to the minor in 31, 32.
Then the melodic section from 33-56 shifts between F-sharp minor, D major dominant, A major, A minor. There's a lot of chromaticism and passing tones in there though, though. I'd say just use your ears.
Then the noise/rhythm breakdown (57-64) is in no key signature.
The next section, 73-81, follows the same progression as 33-56, but now hovers around the chords C major, F major dominant, C minor, and D major as a passing chord. Again, a lot of chromaticism, a lot of passing tones, a lot of dissonant clusters. Use your ears.
81-84 is firmly in the key of C major, but in 85-86 it goes down to B major, and then back up to C major for the rest of the piece.
The whole piece is basically a series of flipped riffs descending lower and lower throughout the song.
Hope this helps.
