Freeze Transorm

Something interesting fell out of my head a few weeks ago. I came up with a new method of organizing pitch material that produces interesting results. It came as a result of my thinking about the dissconect between some types of internal sctuctures and what can be interpreted by the listener.

I took it to my thesis adviser Sean Ferguson and he saw the same potential I did for what my idea is capable of. He said he hadn't seen anything like it but not being his area of specialization he encouraged me to talk to an expert on post tonal theory. Yesterday I organized my new method and took it to the post tonal analysis expert at McGill. Professor Niedhofer.

He hadn't seen anything like it before and encouraged me to develop and refine my idea further. "You know what this is... Perfect material for a thesis" he said. Which was exactly what I thought. Who knows where this idea will take me. For now I have a piece to finish. We'll see if these ideas work.

His stern warning will stay with me my entire life I'm sure. More on that next update.
