The intention of this piece: a roller coaster for your brain, using variation in arpeggio patterns as the primary musical device to evoke wheels in motion as well as the twists and turns. This piece is completely arpeggiated (no simultaneously struck notes), and the harmonies created through sustain are relatively noncommittal (lots of suspended chords to keep the listener feeling "suspended"), and lots of note spacing to break up the melody, leaving the listener to hone in on the arpeggio patterns as the focal point; the song invites the listener in with a long ascending arpeggio followed by a descending arpeggio, then a sequence of ascending arpeggios with descending root notes evokes the motion of a wheels (oscillation around a monotonic center of mass) before more complex patterns are introduced.  

Mathematical feature of this piece: one way to quantify the complexity in arpeggio patterns is to look at possible permutation patterns that appear in consecutive strings of notes.  Taking a consecutive string of distinct notes and ordering them according to pitch, one can assign a permutation.  All of the 24 permutations of size 4 are realized at least once in this song.  This explains the song art which depicts the Cayley diagram for the permutation group of size four.

Digitized Horizon

One of my earliest influences on Soundcloud was/is an amazing artist known as BoxTox (@user-247600493). I've always loved his really quirky and creative music which is so fun to listen to because of all the subtle details (for example, unusual percussion, and using quite low air flow in his sax, clarinet, and flute playing, and original rhythms and melodies). 

This tune is my tribute to BoxTox, where I tried to bring in instruments and playing style influenced by his music. It was a lot of fun working on this, especially since I got the chance to practice with the really excellent VST brush drum sounds, even if it's a little busy at times! Of course, I couldn't help myself and smooshed in a middle section that's very typically me, whether it fits in or not!   :) 

All instruments are played using my keyboard, except the flute bits which are played live with a real flute.

Instruments:
- upright bass
- electric guitar
- drums & percussion
- alto & tenor sax
- clarinet
- bassoon
- flute
- organ
- violins
- cello

Best with headphones; thanks for stopping by!
