The Falling Of Leaves (Disquiet0352) by ikjoyce

This week's junto was to have a simple melody of some sort, and to then have two variations on that melody play simultaneous with it.
I am just back from a retreat up a mountain in Wales, where I had no access to my music making tools or the internet - hence being a little late to this. I am also in preparations for the Naviar Haiku Fest gig on Saturday, at which I plan to imrovise some music on piano with added effects - so my take on this week's challenge was to use long delay to create three layers that will play on top of each other like a sort of improvised canon. I tried to make sure that with each round the melody was changed only a little, so there are nice moments where it all lines up amid the sections where it becomes syncopated. The resulting piece had a 'swirling' feel that to me evoked the falling leaves I have spent the last few days watching.
