subtle interactions here between melody and strings,  indeed calm but with and edge

Agnus Dei

Inspired by these words of William Wordsworth

"Moving about in worlds not realised,
High instincts before which our mortal Nature
Did tremble like a guilty thing surprised:
                      But for those first affections,
                      Those shadowy recollections,
                Which, be they what they may
Are yet the fountain-light of all our day,
Are yet a master-light of all our seeing;
                Uphold us, cherish, and have power to make
Our noisy years seem moments in the being
Of the eternal Silence: truths that wake"

If you compare today’s #MusicalMinute with the one posted at the beginning of the month, you will hear quite a change in mood.  Regular listeners will know that this is something that I have been experimenting with for a few months.  However, the other dimension to these tracks is that, given a dissonant pitch-class set, is it possible to  create a melody — destiny or self determination.  What do you think?

05 Dec 25 Strange Calm

I started composing daily pieces and posting them onto SoundCloud at the beginning of 2013.  By posting daily I am tweaking, experimenting and developing a thought, idea or event in time.  I am endeavouring to show that there is no limit to that creative spark that lies within each of us.  So much of what we do nowadays is about instant return, I am about evolution not revolution (although each month starts with a clean slate).  Join me on my journey to 10,000 (18 May 2040!!!)

Over the years I have found the Soundcloud community to be extremely supportive and encouraging.  It’s great to have a Global Mastermind of musical adventurers.

Thank you!
