Mnemonic Heterophonic (disquiet 0352) by Nate Trier

This week's assignment was to come up with a melody, then come up with a way to create--and layer--variations.

I played a simple melody in D minor.

I pitch- and time-shifted the melody up to E minor, then tried to play the original melody along with that, but this time off of G. This created an E minor tonicization.

Then I pitch and time-shifted those two to C# and A, respectively, then tried to play the original melody along with that, again off of G. This created an A7 tonicization.

I pitch and time-shifted those to a high D, A, and F#, respectively, then tried to play the original melody along again in the D an octave lower.

Music theory nerds will note I created a Dm - Em- A7 - D chord progression - a ii-V-I.

I added a little bit of Beat Repeat to add variation to the melody.
