Matryoska (disquiet0180-matryoshkamusic)

from sevenism Hosted by sevenism

I represented each of the six dolls as an instrument - the bass doll, then opening up we hear my voice, then mountain dulcimer, then kalimba, 12 string guitar and glockenspiel. Then I reversed it as the doll is put back together and we just hear the bass to close. The bass starts off with more fx then I remove more and more fx from the instruments as it opens up. I tried to restage the image with my instruments! --------------- Disquiet Junto Project 0180: Matryoshka Music Use the Russian nesting dolls as a model for a musical composition. Step 1: Consider the Russian nesting doll called the matryoshka, in which hollowed-out wooden figurines are designed to be stored inside each other, excepting the smallest doll, which is solid. Step 2: Compose a short piece of music that somehow takes as its basis the doll’s structure. (For a further constraint, imagine a matryoshka consisting of 6 dolls.) Step 3: Upload your completed track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud. Step 4: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants. Deadline: This assignment was made in the early evening, California time, on Thursday, June 11, 2015, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, June 15, 2015. Length: The length of your finished work is up to you, but between two minutes and four minutes is probably best in this context. Upload: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, only upload one track for this assignment, and include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.
