Rubik's Cube...

Consider some of the emotions that may be summoned up

when trying ones best to figure out Rubik's Cube.

This piece has to do with the analyzation of puzzle(conscious) in conjunction with the analyzation of dimension(subconscious) through my own interpretation using sound.

I wrote this using two pianos. Naturally, when trying to figure out Rubik's Cube, we are manipulating it in a three dimensional environment.

The photonic images that strike our retinas are essentially 2D sheets of information being that our retina is in 2D, but the brain uses various tactics to convert information in those 2D images into some semblance of 3D information.

The two pianos essentially are the brain's reaction in creating 3D semblance as Rubik's Cube invokes emotion from 2D intake to 3D inference.

We really do not see a 3D world at all...We merely infer that it's in 3D.

These are some of the emotions that may occur while manipulating Rubik's Cube...

Apprehension

Frustration

Ambiguity

Intrigue

Intensity

Ambivalence

Perseverance

Elation

Despair

Maybe I should write love songs instead....

I like this piece. It nicely captures the mood swings, especially the frustration and perserverance aspects, of attacking hard problems that defy one's efforts to solve.

There is also a slight element of humour as the piece ends in what I take as the problem remaining unsolved.

Well done.

Hello Milillo,

I liked your piece. To me it sounded more of "An unsuccesful effort at solving Rubik's cube". You really succeed in conveying all these sentiments when someone tries to solve a problem, but doesn't seem to make any progress. The .pdf doesn't open for me, but from what I hear you seem to be writing for the most part in the two extremes of the piano. That makes the two parts even more distinct and creates the impression of a "dialogue" taking place. Very interesting.

Euler, I'm so glad you picked up on all the major and minor nuances I intended. And yes, the ending is based on utter frustration.

Thank you sincerly....

Thank you Alexandros...

Unsuccessful ultimately, but through the process encouraging at various points.

I have no luck whatsoever with PDF files. They either work for me or they don't.

The two pianos are exactly what I indicated in the introduction.

Thank you again sir....
