Good Tunes #16

Whatever

10ET has no minor 3rd, and its Narrow Major 3rd at 360 cents sounds rather out of tune unless voiced carefully, or better yet combined with a 7th. Dominant harmonies sound great in this tuning because the Small minor 7th is very nearly 4:7 (hence, the Large Major Second is also near 7:8). These smooth sounds are made use of in the fugue subject, which expands to an octave leap via a French 6th chord arpeggiation. The 10ET circle of 5ths completes in 5 steps, and all episodes are based on this cycle with occasional chromaticism and augmented 6th cadences. Written June 15-17, 2015.

I couldn't fall asleep oneday so i tried to write a melody to help me sleep. 
Sadly me and Potsu were discussing the movie "A Dogs Way Home" and somehow thinking of movie i came up with the main part.
Why did the trailer show the WHOLEEE film? why did i talk about the WHOLEE movie for weeks? Why did the trailer help me make an idea?

who knows



but yeah sorry for not posting in a bit i should be back to my regular schedule.

Entry description:
"Personally I don't think this track fully lives up to my current standards composition-wise, especially the verses' melody since they were made a bit in a hurry. Though Harumi and Pedi really helped me with them by giving me some ideas and advice, so I really want to thank them for that. 

Even though I am not 100% content with this track, I do think that the overall presentation should make for an enjoyable song to listen to. Hope you people enjoy it! "

Spring Tracks VIII

Back To Basics

Back To Basics [Klystrack] (Gold Klystrack - Spring Tracks VIII)

Œuvre‑phare du siècle des Lumières, Les Indes galantes s’apparente à un éblouissant divertissement. Mais le premier opéra‑ballet de Rameau témoigne également du regard ambigu que l’Européen pose sur l’Autre – Turc, Inca, Persan, Sauvage… En 2017, le réalisateur Clément Cogitore signe un film explosif et très remarqué, adaptant un extrait des Indes galantes avec le concours de danseurs de Krump. Avec la chorégraphe Bintou Dembélé, il s’empare cette fois de cette machine à enchanter dans son intégralité pour le réinscrire dans un espace urbain et politique dont il interroge les frontières.

Les Indes galantes (saison 19/20) - Sabine Devieilhe

Präludium geschrieben 12./13. April, Fuge geschrieben 19./20. April 2020.

Präludium und Fuga in Fis-Dur, in 7/8 und 7/4 (2020)

Präludium geschrieben 20./21. Juni 2020, Fuga 2./3. September 2019. Ich hatte ein anderes Präludium geschrieben, aber dann wurde mir klar, dass es nicht gut genug zu diesem Buch passte. Jetzt gibt es also noch ein neues Stück für das Projekt, das ich gerade fertiggestellt haben soll. [N.B. nun wieder mit noch ein paar kleinen Verbesserungen im Präludium.]

Präludium und Fuga a3 in C-Dur, in 5/4 und 5/8 (2020)

Präludium geschrieben 28. Juni, Fuga 19./20. Juli 2020.

Dazu eine lustige Geschichte: Vor mehr als einem Monat bin ich mit
meinem zweiten Buch von 24 Präludien und Fugen fertig gewesen. So begann
ich mit dem Erstellen des Inhaltsverzeichnisses. Und siehe da, es gab
gar kein Präludium und keine Fuge in As-Dur! Ich hatte doch tatsächlich
vergessen, das Ding überhaupt zu schreiben.

Jetzt ist es also endlich komponiert. Und damit sollte das Projekt nun
(wirklich) abgeschlossen sein ... denke ich :)

Präludium und Fuga a4 in As-Dur, in 7/8 (2020)

This should be the final composition included in "The Equal Tempered Keyboard" project, which has been going on for the past 20 years (gasp). In this book, each equal division of the octave between 5 and 20 tones gets a prelude and fugue or two part invention. For 19ET I had written two pieces, but neither of them was a fugue or invention, rather the set was a "Prelude and Rondo". I decided that didn't fit the project well enough, so I wrote this short fugue yesterday (13. Sept. 2020) to replace the Rondo. Some remarks about each tuning will be included in the book. Those are not quite finished yet, but I plan to publish the book by the end of the year.
