PeterthePapercomPoser Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago For my 14th casting Jewelz asked the Muzoracle "Should I go into teaching?" (Muzoracle is a storytelling/fortune telling/divination tool similar to the Tarot card deck, but with cards with musical concepts and 12-sided Musician's dice and Solfege dice. Perhaps it may be thought of as a special musical Oracle card deck.) My interpretation of the cards and dice are displayed below. Since the casting was in the key of A (because the black musician's die landed on A), it pertained to the Third Eye Chakra which is associated with woodwinds. Then, two more woodwinds cards were dealt so I picked the following three woodwinds to include in the piece: Flute, Clarinet, and Bassoon (Jewelz played Clarinet). Then there was a card in the suit of voices in the 3rd position so I included an Alto in the piece. And finally in the 4th position we dealt a triad of brass card so I used three trumpets. If you'd like to find out more about Muzoracle and how castings are interpreted go here: https://muzoracle.net/ This short musical representation of Jewelz Casting is about ~1:30 minutes long. I created the following melodic/harmonic underdrawing guided by the cards and the dice. I started the main melody with Flute and Clarinet on Bb and a rising chromatic line suggested by the dice. This was accompanied by an Alto voice singing B octaves and finally with three trumpets playing D major triads. If you've gotten this far thanks for reading! And I hope you enjoy listening to this short chamber work I wrote to represent Jewelz casting. Comments, critiques, suggestions, and observations are of course, always welcome. Thanks for listening!

chopin Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago A high tension piece that wants to resolve but ultimately fails in doing so. We almost get there at 0:20. It makes me wonder if you don't really want to go into teaching, or if you have anxiety over the prospect! Overall, I'd say one of your more interesting castings. Honestly, I was surprised that you resolved this at the end. 1 Quote
