NEW MUSIC EVERY DAY

Fell Asleep Yesterday. Whoops

Yesterday I slept through my alarm in the morning, made it to work okay, worked on Contraflunctus after 9pm after putting the baby to sleep, waited for my wife to get home who has a better phone for music pictures, but fell asleep and so didn't post! Progress yesterday: I rewrote the last beat from the previous day and finished what I think is some kind of wonky sequence, #Contraflunctus.

This morning, setting up the scaffolding with ascending arpeggiations to move the harmony while introducing what will be a dizzy augmentation of the opening flute 1 part over various figurations in the other parts - I'll call it 7th species cpt.

It's really fun working on music that "obeys," pokes, and laughs at cpt rules while trying to work through my own intuitive sense of vertical/horizontal note relationships. It feels great to be shedding years of obeisance to THE RULES. I bet Bach had MoM every month, thus creating unstoppable cpt powers. Cpt is musical crossfit.

Day 8: 081

I had a great time workshopping this with Oli a couple of weeks ago. Just got to notating it today.





08 Polyrhythm sliding

Yellow,

This one is a development from a week ago. The idea is to "slide" a rhythm through an accelerando to a new tempi to create a polyrhythm against another voice.

I'm going to keep working with this idea over the month and see what I can develop from it.



hey guys!!!

soooooo I have been pretty stressed out so I missed a couple of days-- I did the last of these three Sara Teasdale settings... brought back some themes and things... I found it hard to set the end of the text because I'm not religious but want to honor Sara Teasdale's faith (seems like it was pretty important to her)

I can't be fucked to do dynamics/articulations at this moment, so I'll have to do them tomorrow!

By the way guys, everybody is killing it, I'm loving all your stuff!! xx

p.s. i messed up the tempo derp, should be a bit faster starting at I will raise it. argh

Apricot Tree variation no.2 - stupid idea, never try this

Never try to do this in Sibelius, entirely bad idea.
