Generating Melo-Rhythm
These exercises consist in generating the Melo-rhythmic Pattern of the following songs,
(all MIDI-hlinked) -
1. You might like to put the words (or note-value symbols) in a Melo-rhythm Box.
Do not attach undue importance to the "dot" (or snap) combinations
which replace 2 even note-values.
2. Always start with theFundamentalCell.
3. Then apply the processes of -
Division, Multiplication (byRepetition), Fission (Split), andFusion,
as required to generate the Melo-rhythmic Pattern of the song..
4. Keep close check on the Symmetry as you progress.
5. Generate in 4/4, and then change to 3/4 or 6/8, if required.
Remember to change the Melo-rhythm of the 3/4 and 6/8 songs into 4/4 before you
start.
6. Refer back to the examples in theGenerationpage - it might help.
Hints are added (with the abbreviations shown in 2. and 3. above).
