Inspired by @alyceobvious composition (https://soundcloud.com/alyceobvious/abstraction-cactus-flower) I decided to continue exploring Georgia O’Keeffe’s Radical Abstraction. 
I was inspired by the painting “The Beyond” (1972 - https://learn.ncartmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/OKeeffe_The-Beyond-1024x772.jpg) and a quote:
“The color […] had little to do with what I’d seen. The color grew as I painted”. (from the lecture www.okeeffemuseum.org/georgia-okeeff…l-abstraction/)

I tried to apply the same concept to time, playing and painting bigger spaces every time, tracing a line between my previous submission disquiet0591) and this one. After the accident I have to rebuild a new relationship with my body: this time I worked with breathing and feeling space-time oscillations in my legs, my ankles, my shoulders and let the flow be my metronome. It was fun dancing with my double bass again, after a long time, it felt like meditation or one of the delicate and at the same time intense paintings of O'Keeffe. 

“Fill a space in a beautiful way.” - G. O’Keeffe

At bar 6 I start playing an ascending phrase with the notes F#, C#, F, D#, length 1 bar 50bpm. I then leave a full bar of silence and there starts the growing process, stretching spaces by adding eight note silences after every repetition of the musical fragment.
I doubled on fretless bass with a bit of chorus and then sprinkled both basses in a bit of convolution reverb. It was very interesting to observe the discrepancies and similarities of time and body-feeling with the two instruments, as well as phasing and subtle time differences that this process creates.
