CORROSION

Navigating through an infinite number of options is a complex art. But we'll have to master it if we don't want to stay where we are.

Flight deck incident

Improvisation on  ryūteki

A section (piano melody, bass, piano, mallets piano and field recording backing tracks)
B section (piano melody is routed to a percussion sample bank, randomly triggering percussive sounds, backing tracks continue)
A section (piano melody returns over backing tracks)

For this challenge @disquiet:
Step 1: There’s a now famous quote from the opening of the 2006 film The Prestige. It goes as follows. Give it a read:

“Every magic trick consists of three parts – or acts. The first part is called the Pledge. The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird, or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it – to see if it is, indeed, real. You know: unaltered, normal. But of course … it probably isn’t. The second act is called the Turn. The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now, you’re looking for the secret, but you won’t find it, because of course you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn’t clap yet. Because making something disappear isn’t enough. You have to bring it back. That’s why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call the Prestige.”

Step 2: This arc, moving from Pledge to Turn to Prestige, can be read as a take on the classic ABA structure, in which a theme is introduced, then something else occurs, and then the piece returns to where it began.

Step 3: Compose and record a piece of music that takes the process described in The Prestige as its blueprint.

The main motif is a 5-beat phrase, counting the rest at the end; so it keeps turning around in 4/4 time.

Joking Around A Beats

He clasps the crag with crooked hands; Close to the sun in lonely lands, Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.  The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; He watches from his mountain walls, And like a thunderbolt he falls.
