Allison's Infinite Round - B Mixolydian

Please explore this soundscape "Beyond the Event Horizon."  This composition expresses a journey through the depths of space and time - featuring a slow, evolving atmosphere that builds attention and anticipation, inviting listeners to explore the unknown - what lies beyond, both musically and conceptually.  Using my MIDI keyboard and high C whistle, I improvised over a C chord made of entirely C notes.  I crafted the song with a blend of synthesizer sounds inspired by "Event Horizon" and Chords of Trance."  The MIDI and whistle were routed through Logic Pro and the sounds were enhanced with Valhalla DSP effects. 

The title"Beyond the Event Horizon" refers to the boundary surrounding a black hole.  A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape from it, not even light.  This mysterious phenomenon challenges our understanding of the universe and time.  
 
I appreciate you taking the time to listen to "Beyond the Event Horizon" and read my write-up.  I'd like to hear your thoughts so please  feel free to leave a comment.  Your feedback is helpful as I create and share my music.  Thank you!

Beyond the Event Horizon

A short adventure on the chords from my tune "Prayer For Safe Passage" --- this from July of 2015, but there is quite a bit of evolution going on with this form. Probably revolution is a better word!!

Safe Passage Jam-A-Round (short version)

This is a very slow and moody take on the Drunken Sailor form. There are basically two electric dulcimer parts, sometimes in dialog with each other, and there is a very quiet two-handed tapping track in the background - also on electric dulcimer. I have a slightly more elegant contraption now to hold my humbucking pickup, with no rubber band--- I use four little wood screws to hold the pickup to the blocks (if I ever go into production with these things, I will go to machine screws.

Recent visits to Koehler's Pond near Wooster, Ohio have inspired me to imitate some melodious bullfrogs!!

This one originally came out on Nine Meditations for Dulcimer, but I had it in B minor there. Still, the tuning is the familiar DAD
