Eyres Rock

by Bill Buckley

Aborigine style chant piece

This music is written so that it plays forever and so this recording is just a sample of the music that it could produce.

Each letter of the lower case alphabet has been assigned a note and duration value; abcdefgABCDEFG have the usual AMPLE meanings. Experiment by defining sub-parts (e.g. cat dog) and then using them in various loops in "part1" etc. (See also "HUMPTY").

Alternatively, type READY 1 VOICES plus an instrument at the '%' prompt and type in words at the keyboard (in lower case except ABCDEFG) to listen to "The Sound Of Language".

The words 'vapour' and 'nkiuop' give a feel of the possibilities.

Note - spaces mean null
- timings/pitches semi arbitrary.

If you develop further let me know!
