Lee Barry Composition (And Photo) Diary

  A piece exactly 60 seconds in length with a number sequence as lyrics. It can also be performed in reverse order. A fun game for children and adults alike. Tempo and bar lengths can be changed for the same 60-second target and lyrics can be swapped out for other sequences that are singable or otherwise musical. *** The AI-generated version. It understood the strophic rhythmic pattern in only 1 of 7 iterations, but the result is kind of interesting. It couldn't generate a similar result for the second "verse" with 1098, 765, etc. Different words can also be used to swap out the numbers. The voice it used was appropriately robotic.

My latest "minute song". The idea would be to make an album 15 minutes long--but not all bass stuff. This is written on bass but could have lyrics added later. It's also interesting that in such a short song there is a modulation to a very rare key, C# Major. It sounds so simple, even overly simple, but there's a complexity in it.    Melange by Lee Barry

Phyrigian blues exactly one minute long, 33 bars @132 Video:

The 9th in a series of 15, 25 bars in 6/4, Tempo=150, a minute long, done in the style of Satie's Gnosiennes. The final version will be as EDM.
