Disquiet Junto's 693rd prompt instructed us to sort a well-known melody by note and duration. I chose "Claire de Lune" as my source material.

I don't read sheet music and my father didn't raise me to do math on paper, so I wrote a Ruby script that processes a .mid file and sorts according to various pieces of MIDI data, including note number, note name, and time between note on and off events. You can see the source at https://gist.github.com/CoralineAda/3f559279caa892a46fa2ee26fc62b339

I processed the MIDI file a few different times with different sorting criteria, then laid out the variations (including a random sort) in what I hope is an interesting progression. 

In terms of instrumentation, I used a Yamaha digital piano for the lead and a Korg M3R for the pads and accents.

NUN SAGE ICH ES DOCH

Sound Ripples is a sound installation by Marco Sebastiano Alessi, created for the Sapporo Tenjinyama Art Studio. Inspired by the cultural legacy of the Ainu people, Alessi and members of the online music community Naviar Records reflected on the roots of their own local traditions, and created sounds inspired by the landscapes and stories of their respective environments.
Combining field recordings from across Japan, ambient compositions by Naviar Records’ community, and sounds captured during Alessi’s time in Sapporo, this installation invites listeners to experience sound as a vessel of memory, transmission, and transformation.
This immersive experience aims to highlight the importance of music as a connector that brings cultures into dialogue: a medium that transcends space and time to build bridges between distant communities.
