An Exercise in Transcription

Decided to do a realization of the piece I posted about here a bit ago.

Since the rhythms are proportional, I had to break out the ruler and calculate the actual notated rhythms, rounding to the nearest 16th. The idea being that this, along with more control over pitches, will allow me to put more of a personal stamp on the material. Right now I’m planning on retaining the same cueing system used before, we’ll see how that changes.

So, I went from this:

rhythm_one_proportional

To this:

rhythm_one_notated

Both images are the same rhythmic material, though the second is obviously more precise.

Not sure how I’m going to handle pitches yet, or if the linear structure of the piece is going to change.
