music: "Vocation of the Cracking Embers of Dawn Sight", in 10th roo   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1296 of 1403 |

http://www.nonoctave.com/tunes/VocationOfTheCracklingEmbers.mp3

A primitive polyphonic double reed instrument plays plaintively,
contemplatively. It is tuned to the 10th root of fifth, which is a nonoctave
tuning. Embellistments on a cymbal set accompanies the soloist.

It is a fire from the night before, the embers crackling as a new day
arrives. The white whisps of smoke mix with the dampness of the early
morning fog. The deep orange and black embers contrast with the orange of
the sun below the horizon, rising, and the black of the sea beneath it.

Comments welcome.

That was beautiful. Ends a bit abruptly, but it's hard to avoid that in a non-octave scale... I would have liked it to go on longer. Good work. ... nonoctave ...
