Disquiet Junto Project 0567: Three Meters
The Assignment: Make music in 5/8, 6/8, and 7/8 time signatures.

Step 1: The week this project is published, the Disquiet Junto will be doing its 567th consecutive weekly project. Think about those digits and how they relate to each other.

Step 2: Record a piece of music that moves between — and perhaps even overlays — 5/8, 6/8, and 7/8 time signatures.

Notes: In this case I have the three parts play back to back and then overlay each other in different combinations.

20221202 MIDI Piano Variations [disquiet0570]

Months of hearing my kids playing bits of Rush E (Andrew Wrangell) on and off of the piano have inspired a couple MIDI piano pieces.  This second one uses a few different modes and/or keys and is in the style of a duet that has simple beginnings.

Took a day or 2 to hear that Brian Wilson got ripped off,. but it came out of my heart first, the Bacharach Trombone was totally obligatory and premeditated. 

This was my chance to do that Princelike super pop tune with a bunch of Key changes ala Earth Wind & Fire but you know, my plans, if I have them, rarely make out the brain onto the tape. I start something and it takes off with a life of its own that i have to then see through to the end. Man I really really needed these weekly assignments to get into a more productive workflow and to keep learning new things about music, so thanks Marc and everyone involved in this really cool weekly challenge, a lot of great music here.

Disquiet Junto Project 0570: Key Change
The Assignment: Make music that changes keys

Step 1: There’s been news of how, in the past decade, the newest most popular music doesn’t change keys as often as the most popular music used to. (I’m being cautious by being specific that this is about the most popular music, because the data relates specifically to No. 1 singles.) Read about it here:

https://tedium.co/2022/11/09/the-death-of-the-key-change 4

Step 2: Record a piece of music that does change keys. (Don’t feel required to record music that aspires to mass popularity.)

Child's Play

The Euclidean Chromaticon | Child's Play - disquie0571

I improvised a little dance using warm autumnal chords that capriciously changes about to represent the leaves falling and swirling around, sometimes stopping, starting, and eventually settling on the ground after a last little flutter.

beautiful chaos
the leaves’ quixotic dance
in autumn winds

Resounding through all the notes
In the earth's colorful dream
There sounds a faint long-drawn note
For the one who listens in secret.
