[UC-ODDMUSIC] jjj (a setting of a poem by Bruce Andrews in 19 ET)

[Chris Vaisvil]

This is a musical setting of Bruce Andrew’s poem “jjj” from his book
“Moebius” thanks to
PennSound<http://www.writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Andrews.php>archive.

To create the music I hijacked Norm Harris’ Y Class Steam Locomotive Bell
sample and his percussion piece Ilesa and added these to elements to a 19
note per octave guitar solo that was split in 8 channels and run through
various effects. In one the channels the effect was to use the guitar to
trigger an Indian ensemble which was driven microtonally. The extremely long
coda consists of a harmonic series filter for the lowest A and E, and next
to lowest B applied to the guitar performance. (Essentially a major 9th
minus the 3rd and 7th).
