[NetBehaviour] Solid Birds play Eric Dolphy

[Simon Mclennan]

It is what it says…

'Hat and Beard’ by Dolphy - a modernist classic for me.

Hope you all like it on this list.  Its written using the whole tone scale - some call it a synthetic scale… make of that what you will.

Debussy loved it, and a few others - blending it with serialism it destabilised the ear and expectation of diatonic harmony… 

The title may be referring to that singular composer - Monk!  Out to lunch indeed - and thank god for that.

It feels as if it is constantly changing key every couple of beats.

I used electric drums overlaid on the last section.


All the best,

Simon.
