Moon In My Pocket

I wrote this contemporary jazz piece after watching Rick Beato's wonderful interview with Keith Jarrett. This features Ric Fierabracci on bass, Larry Salzman on percussion and Mannuel Trabucco on soprano sax.

It’s the time of nuclear fusion…
       
                                         

   With the enormous power that explodes forth from the fusion of ultradense deuterium, timeships become possible and the multiverse will never be the same, indeed in one beautiful big bangerang, intelligent life seizes the opportunity to shape the vast expanse of the cosmos and itself, from the crest of redshifting wave beyond the cosmic microwave background that is expanding into the past at the edge of the known universe and deep into the Infinite Is. 

   The crew of the mining ship Diplogen were partying in torpor, a sort of lucid dream construct program that they ran to keep their minds sharp and entertained for the duration of deep space flight. They had just struck it rich, and were celebrating because everything they could imagine was within reach for them now, anything they desired could be bought for what this bounty was worth. 

   In the program just for fun, they had their very own synthesizer band called Heavy Water and were happily moving butts around the virtual dance floors in a warehouse rave at area 51 of Rydberg station on outpost Charon when it happened. They couldn’t hear the ships warnings, partly because they were slowed down relative to their life in torper, and partly because the rave was so loud. Perhaps they were just having so much fun that they just ignored it?

   The first fissure in the multiverse pierced through the very fabric of spacetime when their massive heavy freighter laser fusion impulse drive, the largest ever built, damaged by an emergency landing and modified by an alien stowaway saboteur melted down and exploded, fusing what was then the largest haul of deuterium ever recorded in the history of that universe. The ship and all of it’s miners were presumed dead or lost in space forever. The massive ship disappeared in a brilliant wave of sapphire blue Cherenkov radiation within visual range of what was then the furthest outpost that those primitive humans had managed to build, outpost Charon, which should never have survived such a massive explosion. It was almost as if the whole white hot mess were instantly swallowed up in a small black hole or something, somehow sparing the venerable frontier outpost.

    An allegedly empty lifeboat which was said to have been jettisoned right before the event then itself disappeared under mysterious circumstances when it was being hauled out of an emergency net by a tug owned by man named Ham and his trusty Enbot Frank, who, suspiciously, also then went missing.

Don't forget where you parked your horse
Don't forget where you parked your horse
Don't forget where you parked your horse
You gotta find your horse before you can ride off into the sunset
Don't forget where you parked your horse
Don't forget where you parked your horse
Don't forget where you parked your horse
You gotta find your horse before you can ride off into the sunset
Yeah yeah yeah yeah horse 
Where did you park it?
What level of the parking lot did you park your horse?
Was it 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6?
Who knows I don't know 
Maybe your horse knows
If your horse could talk

Don't Forget Where You Parked Your Horse

This is some chord experimentation using something I only recently found out the name of, "axis pitch" (at least I think that describes what I'm doing here.)  The chords center around one droning note, in this case C.  Every chord has a C in it, either in the 1st, 3rd, or 5th position (there are 7th chords and all that but for the sake of simplicity, the C is always in one of these three positions).  For sus2 or sus4 chords the 3rd is considered the 2nd or 4th.  I grouped the chords according to these positions and noticed that it sounded pretty good going from 1 to 5 to 3 to 1 (meaning chords where the C is in the 1 position, 5, 3 etc.) As long as that pattern was kept, the chords could be substituted with another chord in the same group and retain their harmonic function (sort of, sometimes).  This is why the long progression sounds the same only different until the end when it goes into some augmented chords.  To make it more interesting, I introduced more droning notes (4 total by the end) in intervals of 5ths.  I thought I might need to change the chords to accommodate the 5ths but it sounded good to my ears.

Melody was a little difficult. I stuck to arpeggios mostly, although it's probably possible to figure out a mode to solo in for each section of the progression (next time). This probably would have been a little impractical during the triplets section however in the middle of the song which moves fairly quickly. For the last section of that part, just to mix it up a bit, I used negative harmony to change the chords.  This is where each note in each chord goes up or down depending their position along a sort of mirror axis between the 12 notes. Not really sure I did it correctly but it sounds kind of interesting.  This is a good video on how negative harmony works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHH8siNm3ts&t=288s

The title of the track comes from Ursula Le Guin's novel, The Left Hand of Darkness. I just kinda liked the shock value.
