Hidden Harmonies - The Locked Groove Orchestra by ikjoyce published on 2017-05-20T19:07:01Z With @jasonw22, @MtnViewMark, @ikjoyce, @xxiainxx and @missushardy Fresh from their debut performance (Riley's "In C") The Locked Groove Orchestra were immediately looking at where to go next. A few suggestions were made for writing pieces specially suited to using Ninjam, as we are a global collective. This, our second outing, is a piece of music proposed by me, ikjoyce. The concept is simple - start with a cacophony of untuned oscillators / sound sources, and by listening to the other participants and slowly retuning to meet them, over time the group tries to bring everything to some kind of harmony and eventually finds a unified tone or timbre within, all by an unspoken consensus. If the opening cacophony represents the multitude of human voices, the final tone is that of the combined voice of humanity, and the whole represent the difficult but worthwhile effort of listening to and accommodating each other.
