Throwing Blog Shit Up Like Crazy

Because I worry about you and want to make sure that no obvious, widespread, cool internet memes accidentally pass your notice:

It's like a music box.

Helpful hints: sixteen blocks across, of course, for a sixteenth note grid (or an eighth note grid if you want to think of it as a two bar pattern). I haven't checked the absolute pitch, but the notes are a pentatonic scale. Pretending that it's in D (it seems like D when checked against the 65% reliable method of using my voice to find a pitch), the bottom note is A (so's the top note). And it runs from bottom to top: A B D E F# A B D E F# A B D E F# A. Which, it might be nice to have D as the bottom note instead, but there are possibilities.

Go crazy. In addition to more "pure" approaches, I like writing words with it (usually set over a pulsing bassline, like quarter notes on the B, or maybe a clave pattern). Cheesy shit: LOVE, and so forth. LOVE sounds nice. Big block letters make big splashes of color, being more precise and less programmatic lets you get into clever interweavings. As somebody said here, "It feels like it should be possible to work up a little matchbox-sized version of Cliff Martinez’s Solaris soundtrack out of this thing."
