Dan is...

My first Californian assignment… write a piece using only 3 notes (and their transpositions) in a week. I chose a 5th and a 4th from my “tonic”. My aim was to write a piece that resonated in a very open, natural way. The clanging (and, at times, ridiculously complicated) rhythms are meant to be more reminiscent of bell ringing; completely unrelated to the meter and the steady quaver/dotted quaver phase patters. This recording was made using Garritan and, as such, doesn’t quite have the same resonance of an actual piano - but there’s no way I’m playing (13/14):7:dotted:6.5 - at least at this point. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it - the score is here.
