Made in Musescore in early 2011, completely free.

You may use this music for your own purposes. If you do not know how to download from YouTube, PM me for sheet music/flacs/whatever. Unfortunately, I suck horribly, so I can't really get you drumsheets. Sorry.


About this work:
Lone Undergoer is a suite of 3 movements meant to portray a character from an RPing forum myself and some friends of mine are doing.

Just as Der Philosoph is in German and Lēgātus is in Latin, Lone Undergoer is meant to be in Russian. However, the best I could do as far as translating the title would be something like "one" "test" (but feminine for some reason) or "one" "(woman) test pilot". Both words are difficult to translate, so some help would be appreciated.





This movement describes the character's overall worldview. The open fifths and stranded third are meant to destabilize the tonal centre of the work against a free form melody alternating from a "Slavic" melodic minor, that spends some time in the pentatonic or a harmonic phrygian. The form is entirely free, reflecting her absent/insane mindedness or unpredictability. However, the form can be said to be a rough variation of call and response.

Overall, the piece is meant to evoke a sort of ancient atonality - not the sort of madness with say, Schönberg, but rather... well...

(Story)

So, imagine you're a prehistoric Slav. You've never met anyone from a Finno-Ugric tribe before, you know absolutely none of their practices. 

So you're walking along, singing folktunes in a world where death and illness are rampant and, you happen to come across a house built on chickenlegs.

(Story to be continued...) 







The character portrayed is Marja Eridina - Her name is something like (weird regional nickname for Mary), daughter of Eris.
