"Tonal Fluctuations" is a dynamic and experimental piano piece that explores the intricacies of sound and timbre through the use of Ableton Live's / Google Magenta Continue and intricate LFO programming. The piece pushes the boundaries of traditional piano music by manipulating the length and depth of notes, creating a fluid and ever-evolving soundscape. The use of LFOs on delay, filter, and width parameters adds another layer of complexity and depth to the music, making "Tonal Fluctuations" a unique and captivating listening experience.

This piece of music brings together the worlds of classical music and electronic noise/glitch. It begins with a traditional orchestral arrangement, rooted in classical composition, but gradually integrates the chaotic elements of electronic noise and glitch music. The result is a soundscape where the precision of classical harmonies merges with the raw, fragmented textures of digital distortion. This confluence redefines the boundaries between the old and the new, structured and chaotic, showing how these seemingly disparate genres can coexist and amplify each other.

The phrase "A Number is 'Due" generally suggests that a particular event or outcome, often tied to randomness or statistics. "A Number is 'Due,' A Tempo is 'Lost'" is an intriguing musical composition that explores the delicate balance between chaos and calmness. This piece is arranged through an aleatoric approach for piano, infusing unpredictability into the structure while maintaining a soothing and tranquil atmosphere.

In this composition, the tempo and measures are chaotically generated and subject to change, embracing the beauty of randomness. Despite the shifting rhythmic patterns and unexpected alterations, the overall sound exudes a calming effect, drawing listeners into a state of serene contemplation.

The seemingly disparate elements are woven together to create a cohesive and harmonious experience, illustrating how order can emerge from disorder. "A Number is 'Due,' A Tempo is 'Lost'" invites listeners to embrace the unpredictable journey, finding peace amid the randomness, and discovering the soothing melodies hidden within the chaos.

Dadaism at its worst !

One's ability to speak does not necessarily depend on reading skills, yet reading can enhance speech proficiency, as can be observed in music.

The psychology of music delineates the phenomenon of experiencing goosebumps while listening to songs with rudimentary motifs and meaningless lyrics. However, developing a keen appreciation for music demands an amplification of one's understanding and perception. Personal preferences hold no weight in this regard.

It is erroneous to assume that a universally objective theory of music exists. The available music theories are predominantly limited to particular contexts such as the "Harmonic Style of 18th Century European Musicians" or "Schenkerian Analysis." Nonetheless, I do not adhere to any particular music theory in this context. Please enjoy.
