I did something to a song I'm writing (voice and piano, words: Keats' 'Why did I laugh to-night?'), and it modulated in a way that even I, the composer, didn't expect.  I was.. well.. I don't know.  I think I was kind of writing in E Phrygian (from E to E using the C major scale), but I was being chromatic about it, and I suddenly ended up in... Eb major?  Well, that's okay, it's only a bar long, as a key change, kind of common to do.. but that leads into a bar of A major, which doesn't have an Eb in it, which lead me kind of back into E Phrygian again.  Then, because I had a sequence going, I modulated into.. um... Ab minor.  Damnit, but it's modal, because I keep needing a G natural.  I don't know... why am I even writing music at 2:45 in the morning? ._.  I'll post a midi if I finish tonight.
