Day 16: Extra Comfort Music

I've added higher voices and I'm stoked with how it all turned out - get ready to be comforted, friends. Hard.

16 Quintuplets

Just having a bit of a practice today.

I want to make my beat sub-divisions of 5 as strong as they are for 2, 3, 4 and 6. I was practicing improvising on the attached audio moving between different sub-divisions. I would've posted audio of myself playing, but it sounded crap and I've run out of time for today :( Will try again over the weekend though.

helllooooooooo

I think this might be the last of my Sara Teasdale contralto pieces. I tried to push myself into faster and more rhythmically interesting territory, rather than doing my usual slow sad thing. :) I might want to add clapping or a hand drum to this also...

Madrigal - Police, police!

I didn't post yesterday, but I did see Thomas Adés' The Exterminating Angel with Christine, which was totally amazing. There was chilling use of police sirens and martial drums, and it's only half a coincidence that I wrote a piece called 'Police, police!' today.
