This gives me soul-soothing mathematical visions

In case anyone's interested in more detail how this piece works: the left hand is playing a pattern in 12, consisting of four groups of three. The right hand is basically also playing a pattern in 12, but consisting of three groups of four. This sets up a three against four polymeter.   But this is further complicated by the right hand leaving the last beat of every four bar of twelve out, so that it plays in 47- 12,12,12,11.  That's the basic pattern. On top of this, I improvise dynamics to pick out melodies from the ever-changing background. And I sometimes make mistakes, as I do here. But it's jazz and there are no mistakes, right?

Schlummern... pt. 1 | Taken from 'Re-Cartographies'

Another 47/12er.  I find this pattern a good one to start the day with: it's somehow goodhumored.

good morning

The Hold

Intro (8 bars):

Arpegiating Keyboard - 16th notes - repeats for 8 bars:

G6, G6, E6, G6, E6, C6, G5, E6, C5, G4, E4, C4, C4, E4, G4, C5, E5, G5, C6, E6, G6, E6

Second Keyboard - echoey stuff - alternates between C maj and Am every other bar:

Bar 1 - C 
Bar 2 - 
Bar 3 - Am1
Bar 4 - 
Bar 5 - C
Bar 6 - 
Bar 7 - Am
Bar 8 - 


Bass is basically an A; alternating between A1 and A2 with an occasional C or A chucked in.

The next 8 bars (bars 9-16) is basically identical but with the introduction of a lead, and for the final bar, there's some anticipatory C chords (G,C,G) to introduce the arrival of a plucking guitar in the next section.

VERSE

(26 bars (further broken into 10 bars, 10 bars, 6 bars):

Bass:

G|-------------|-----|-------------|-----|
D|-------------|-----|---------5-7-|-----|
A|-3-3-3-3-----|---5-|-3-3-3-3-----|-5---|
E|---------3-5-|-5---|-------------|---3-|


Bar 19: C, C, C, C, G, A (A carries on into bar 20)
Bar 20: D
Bar 21: C, C, C, C, G, A
Bar 22: D, G

This is essentially the bassline, with some variations for the whole section. 

Heavy Guitar:

E|-------------|-----|-------------|-----|
B|-------------|-----|-------------|-----|
G|-------------|-----|-------------|-----|
D|-------------|-----|---------5-7-|-----|

Bass:

G|---------|---------|---------|--------|
D|---------|---------|---------|--------|
A|---------|---------|-----5-5-|-3-3-3--|

Bar 43: F, F, A, A
Bar 44: C, C, A, A

The guitars basically play the same with powerchords.
