Seed riff: 12/21/2010 For the first time in 372 years, the lunar eclipse coincided with the start of the winter solstice. Interesting that the Lascaux caves were designed such that the cave openings would direct a sunbeam into the cave at the solstices.

Ubu Roi Poster - Poland 1990 Seed is a bass piece from 2020 composed in the Locrian mode: This is somewhat of a happy accident as the result of converting an audio file of a piano version of this to MIDI, and then to notation. Two cats at the piano.
Tiny Houses
An example of when prose is so musical you can use it as a lyric, in this case a October 5, 1899 William James letter. The music is AI-generated with words more spoken that sung. I think it works well. What would James think? I like the dead-pan elocution of the word "tiny". *** 10/5/1899 Letter to Mrs. Henry Whitman: ...The land is bathed in greenish-yellow light and misty drizzle of rain. The little town, with its miniature brick walls and houses and nooks and coves and gardens, makes a curiously vivid and quaint picture, alternately suggesting English, Dutch, and Japanese effects that one has seen in pictures, all exceedingly tiny.... The land is bathed In greenish-yellow light And misty drizzle of rain The little town With its houses and coves Curiously vivid and quaint English, Dutch, and Japanese effects All exceedingly tiny

The Rapture
It's interesting and fun to re-imagine your old lyrics with AI. The original demo had a gospel/R&B vibe as well, but this has a cool ska feel.

An interesting device for improvisations (or compositions) is to use a chord in fourths as the primary harmonic element and the major pentatonic scale based on the top note of the voicing, for example using an E Major pentatonic against a chord stacked F#-B-E. Only those notes should be used but you can use other scales such as E Lydian. Curio No. 12 by meta4s Version 2 with chimes and choir: Curio No. 12 (Ver. 2) by meta4s
