This is my last project in the lower division program. I mean, there are a couple more homework assignments to do and a take-home final and an in-class final. In terms of anything to compose for class, though...this is it for my lower division stuff. I'm sure I'll be slapping stuff together for my counterpoint class next year and probably will create something in electronic music, so this isn't "the end"...it's just "the end for now" as part of my curriculum.This isn't something I particularly like but it illustrates that I know what Interval Classes are, I wrote that I used IC1's and IC2's in the melody. I know what Pitch Sets are (the 026 and the 036's that are typed in there). I show that I know what non-standard meters are (9/4 is pretty unusual).
Anyway, I call it "Worms in Space".

Oh, about "worms in space".

Wait.
Why is le bref keeping Gabe straight?Good article, if a bit passé.
And congratulations!!!
Your comment about the score for the Matrix sent me down a Don Davis rabbit hole.And thanks for the article about space-going studies of C. elegans worms
That is way fun!
I still have problems keeping the Gabrieli's straight.:-)Glad you've almost completed your division program.
This is just me,but it does not surprise me that atonality never caught on.
It makes one ponder what is going on in the 'film'.
It’s a fascinating piece. I listened while following the score.
The whole Pitch Class set concept was a big deal in the early 1900's. It evolved into 12-Tone "Tone Rows" which is a form of serialism. It's not a terribly popular way to go about composing any more but the guy who wrote the film score for The Matrix movies used it as a way to organize themes based on subject material.I "get it"...what all the terms mean, but I can't say that I'm enthusiastic about it. It's important to know from a historical standpoint, but tonight I'm supposed to analyze a serial 12 tone piece by Ernst Krenek and I'm staring at this thing and really...I couldn't give a shit. His stuff is almost as bad as what I just put up here, my little 45 second piano piece.
