[disquiet0532] Dread

This track is a tribute to Dave Brubeck's recording of "Take Five" and - following the Disquiet Junto Project 540 - reclaims the 4th of May (5/4) for the 5/4 beat.

This Musical Bots track was again created with the generative MIDI sequencer Transition (free VST-plugin available at www.codefn42.com/transition/index.html), All instruments were played by groups of bots in different configurations for the separate sections of this piece, the assigned randomness honoures the improvisation found in Jazz.

The Musical Bots Take The Tram № Five (Disquiet0540)

For the conceptualization, I wanted to make a piece about different perspectives - how the “same story” can be told by different people and vary slightly or a lot.

There’s a tweak on the melody line “D E G E D C D E A” and this drop to the lower A can be A, A-flat, or G interchangeably. So, the accompanying bass line “C B A G” also changes from all natural to “C B natural or flat, A natural or flat, G” as well. The bass solo in the middle is, lol, I don’t know. I just felt like it. Does it work?

The title “Heron in moonlight” comes from the zen saying 銀椀盛雪、明月蔵鷺 (ぎんわんにゆきをもり めいげつにろをかくす) - Silver bowl full of snow, white heron in clear moonlight.

It’s the juxtaposition of things that look the same and seem to blend in but that are actually different. The snow may look like a part of the silver bowl, and the bowl may look like snow itself. A white heron in the bright moonlight may look like the moonlight itself, or is it the other way around?

The philosophized perspective of the saying might infer the natural vs. the manmade coming together, different groups of people coming together in harmony, etc.
