If not intentional : it's called the Rubik's Cube.

A very nice ensemble. And, like the harpsichord, I fancy the bassoon-sound.
Reminds me of tracks by the ELO.

well.... it was a spelling mistake - but I guess I have to keep it as intentional now because I've linked to the files in places I can't change them.  :(

thanks for the listen and comment!

Interesting piece.

Why Rubik's Cube?
It would've been fun to make a tune which is chaos but then becomes more structured as if you've actually put the cube together.

For some reason your track inspired me to do an instant remix.

Sorry for not providing a direct download link, have no access to ftp now.

because I thought of solving a puzzle while composing

no other reason actually


I've posted a classical guitar piece at TiS by Benjamen Britten that does exactly what you describe - chaos to the source piece the variations are made out of.

I think I posted videos as well somewhere - a performance can be found on youtube by Julian Bream which is excellent.

mr. Britten is too complex for me - I didn't get it at all - not yet, at least.

about 4:50 the original Renaissance by John Dowland piece is played

that piece is some 400 or 500 years old. I think it sounds all the more beautiful against the chaotic variations that preceded it.

omgg, this is so great, he has a simple motif and able to make a whole piece from it, just by using very technical and carefully designed variations from it. So much fun to listen how he manages to pull off and arrange everything. ^^

Rubik's Cube sound a bit puzzled to me, rather than developing a variations to a motif, you used the same (loop?) elements to make some structure variations. Which is nowhere wrong, but i think that it's not the same idea what Britten has.

ps. gotta improve a bit those photoshop skills....  ::)

Hi Psi, thanks for the listen and comments!

I was not trying to make a piece like Britten - my piece was just a test of an upgrade to Garritan Personal Orchestra 4.0 (only $49.95!!) that allows microtonal tunings - I just got carried away.

I posted Britten's piece in response to LV.

( I am using GIMP for photos  :)   )
