A Shiny Non-Euclidean Sarabande - submission for Composer Weekend Jam #3 hosted by Joe Chris of ScoringTech.NET for Itch.IO July 2025 – exedexes1

I'm getting called on the carpet by the music theorists for inaccurately (randomly) naming it a Sarabande, and they're right.  Nuff said lol.

The music jam prompt was to go find a piece of graphic art and be inspired by it.
I chose to take a tour of being slightly influenced (for 4-5 seconds each and then to veer away sharply) from various Classical Composers.
as follows:

1. Dieterich Buxtehude (c. 1637–1707):
Canzonetta in A Minor BuxWV 225
Toccata in D BuxWV 155

the only composer where I used more than one piece this evening.
I spent about 3 hours on this overall submission.

2. Gioseffo Zarlino (1517–1590).

Veni sancte spiritus, motet

3. Johann Pachelbel (1653–1706).

Praeludium in D.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750).
I actually did skip JSB its already evident my entire corpus of output is already heavily influenced.

4. François Couperin (1668–1733).

Ordre 12 in E or E-, 8.L'Atalante

5. Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632–1687).

Les folies d’espagne,

6. Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767).

36 Fantaisies for Harpsichord, TWV33, No.13 in C-

7. Johann Joseph Fux (1660–1741).

Grave, for 2 trombones

8. Domenico Scarlatti (1685–1757).

Sonata in C-, K.99, L.317, P.135, F.57, Allegro

9. Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683–1764).

Nouvelles suites de pièces de clavecin, Suite in G/G- - 6.Les Sauvages

Music for everyone, music for others. A life against the current. No genre in music! It is too simplistic to give a genre to everything!! Music is an expression of human emotions and it is necessary to learn to understand humanity in its complexity.

This is a genre called Fanta Rock. I love '70s West Coast American music. It's the music that inspires me. I also like Ennio Morricone's style. Then I mix it all up. I play electric, classical, acoustic, and 12-chord guitar. I also play bass.

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.

Christiane Hommelsheim sings and plays on sound objects, Ralf Haarmann electronics and mandoline. With a central interest in loops, they create intertwined acoustic layers. Through the looper all sounds loose their corporality, they resolve within themselves, they appear and
disappear, they become soundfields, and soundshadows. Ocassionally a sentences might appear out of nowhere, and lingers unfinished in the space, like a piece of thought-furniture, that might develop within the ear of the listener before it retreats back out of focus. HAARMANNHOMMELSHEIM create poetics of absence, poetics of nothing.

Adventures in Music. Let the music do the talking, and take you to another place.
