      Seraphim

      By Vonias · Posted

      "Seraphim," is a CSound composition that utilizes the technology of, Kim Cascone's, instruments.   The song begins with an atonal fugue in two voices.  The atonal fugue develops to another fugue, in 8 voices. Complexity becomes no foreshadow in storytelling, as it is overtly complex from the start value.  It's unnecessary pushing the boundaries of baroque music, peering through the universe in a serial kaleidoscope that has no mercy for mankind, the horrors it shares; think Lovecraft's, "Fungi of Yugguth."  It'll make you want to vomit, it'll make you want to die, but all this is typical of seeing a Seraphim at the beach, so to speak. Behold the Seraphim, as you feast your ears on the deeper mystery of the universe.  As she plays in the beach, she gazes down as the drops of water fall back to the ocean. Anyway, the amount of effort in going into this piece was unclocked.  Judging by the pdf, you can see instrument 3 had the most work done.  In this instrument, contains the information for the atonal fugue(s).  I want to thank, Kim Cascone, for making his instruments available: Recontextualizing Ambient Music in Csound "Seraphim," is a reaction to the essay.  When you place traditional music, ANY traditional song, on top of ambient music, you get a wonderful parallax effect.  I think the reality of the song is that it achieves what artists of the Renaissance couldn't achieve, which is the parallax.  I don't think the concept existed until, Physics, was discovered by Isaac Newton. The beginning set for the opening fugue is, [0,4,6,11].  My PC did not catch fire writing this song, though if I were to compose it on my phone, rendering it would be a nightmare. What I hope to achieve in, "Seraphim," is promoting my website, www.atonalfugue.net if you want to check it out; no feedback needed, you can just enjoy it!

      @JP S., thank you!  When my church sings it, we'll have "amen" replacing the 'oohs.'  Oohs are really out of style, now.  👻 I'll definitely try that!  The amen at the end could fit the tradition, very well. Could we discuss further what going away, or differing from tradition may result?

      Poll concerning AI sub-forum

      By Henry Ng Tsz Kiu · Posted

      I think we are discussing more on the authorship when a composer is REALLY the one who composes the work themselves. As long as the AI doesn't interfere with the composing process it should be allowed, so AI programs like Cantai or Note Performer are no problem at all. Henry
