Musical Lucky Dip #1 : Maria Mitchell


video upload by MIDI IN

"This is the first 'lucky dip'. I needed to make my music-making more challenging, more fun, less routine. It won't necessarily be weekly, I'll work to constraints generated randomly.
The lucky dip gave me : 3/4 time, tempo Larghissimo - Larghetto ( less than 66 bpm), 5 instruments; electric guitar, hammered dulcimer, shanai, synth strings, featuring tenor sax. electronic, spoken word.
I chose to speak quotes from a lady of science, Maria Mitchell.
