122.226Mini-project 6 — Three Pieces, One Language
Write three miniatures:
Piece A
slow 4/4.
Piece B
6/8.
Piece C
medium funk/straight 16th.
Different surface styles.
But all must share:
- one melodic tendency
- one bass tendency
- one harmonic principle
- one ending principle
If they sound related:
you are building a real language.
