Today I started to compose a more strict marimba line, with tempo, time signature and notation.
The main purpose of this line was to create a rhythmical pattern on the marimba, going through the motif and harmony I have sketched.
At the beginning, I started with an ascending scale of the odd partials of the harmonic series in D, with the 19th and 21st partials closer to the fundamental and without the 15th and 17th partials.
This ascending scale stops on the 13th partial, which I repeated it in semiquavers with a 5 - 5 accent attacks.
Then, I have used sketches I have delineated on the 17th of July, as for example the line of the image 2 (blog: 17th of July), followed by an ascending scale of the odd partials of the harmonic series in D, with the 17th, 19th and 20th partials closer to the fundamental. This ascending scale stops on the 15th partial, which I repeated it in semiquavers, again, in a 5 - 5 accent attacks. I did the attacks twice and then returned to B, which is the 13th partial.
All the beginning, is around these three events - ascending scale, repetition of the same note and the rhythm pattern sketched on the 17th of July - until I have made a descending scale with the odd partials of the harmonic series in D, finishing on the fundamental. I repeated it as I did with the 13th partial, in semiquavers with a 5 - 5 accent attacks. Then, I wanted to have, again, the same descending scale, but I needed to reach the highest note of the scale, which is the 9th partial, because the 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th and 21st are closer of the fundamental. To reach this E (9th partial) I used the ascending motifs explored on the 17th of July (image 3). First, I started in groups of four semiquavers with accents attacks in three, and then I used a semiquaver triplet to have a sensation of accelerating.
After reached the descending scale, I come back with the repetition in a 5 - 5 accent attacks of the fundamental. Then, I wrote an ascending scale with the odd partials of the harmonic series in D without the fundamental, the 17th, 19th and 21st partials closer to the ghost-fundamental and finishing on the 13th partials, which I started to repeated it again.
