Why Do You Keep Speaking In Riddles?

KREATUR

W-La Cigale et la Fourmi

Music Dave Rose
Here is a track I have just done today which to my mind sounds it like it could be off a detective show. Possibly :>)

Gumshoe

October Grounds, 8 is the 2nd of two album preview pieces for the album
October Grounds (1-8)

In this piece I used my 8th mosesa. If you compare how the mosesa 8 sounds to the 9the one, you may hear that it has higher pitches, thinner strings and a thinner, lighter character.
As with October Grounds, 6, I mixed external and internal effects to get the sound quality that you hear, it is a semi-acoustic instrument using a thin wood bowl to filter and preamplify the sound quality before being processed. The intent is to have an instrument that is as versatile and as expressive as possible as established world instruments are such as the viola from Western Europe, the Kamnache from the Mid-East and the Erhu from the Far East but offering new sound qualities not heard by those instruments.

Compositionally speaking, this is an improvisation as the other 7 pieces are on the album, and this is the concluding piece, ie. summarizing the themes I used in the other pieces. 

As with “October Grounds,6”, this one is also a “modern modal piece,” meaning I intentionally use the physical and auditory vibrations of the instrument to find dominant tones and then to respond in contrast with sounds that cause expressive tension, but to also use sounds in degrees of concordance to blend towards resolution for expressive tension and release.

Please leave a comment on the track as it means a lot to me to hear how you think/feel about the presented piece. You can download the album, pay or do not pay as you wish here:
