Music that is mostly homophonic can become temporarily polyphonic if an independent countermelody is added.

@DarkHeaven I don't know music theory that well, but that belongs somewhere in juxtaposition can create harmony if felt?

@thewindupbirdchronicles Think of a favorite pop or gospel tune that, near the end, has the soloist “ad libbing” while the back-up singers repeat the refrain.

@DarkHeaven Yes

@DarkHeaven Stevie Wonder became a master on this? So many solo artists are not good incorporating other artists

@thewindupbirdchronicles yeah. it’s a real skill to adapt in another sound and to be able to harmonize it all.

@DarkHeaven I imagine and it's rare in pop music from what I can see. Some musical styles would dismiss the idea, as they want to be possessive of their music, others are too controlling. I do feel Stevie likely, also a control freak, let that form in.

@thewindupbirdchronicles I see it often, honestly. Especially when two artists mix their music together.
