Nines _. .. _. . ...
A piece I wrote in 2 weeks for the Rapido composition contest. It's supposed to be a "dance movement". Maybe if you have three legs.
I wouldn't call this a melodic masterpiece, but I successfully implemented three ideas I've been wanting to try out- fractal form, nonatonic scale, and morse code.
There are 9 beats per measure, grouped 2+2+2+3. There are 9 measures per section, grouped 2+2+2+3. There are 9 sections per... half of the song... grouped 2+2+2+3. It needed to be over 4 minutes, so I had to do the pattern twice.
Additionally, every single note fits into a nonatonic scale, which is fancy talk for not using C sharp, F, or A. It's a whole-tone scale with every other tone split in two. Nine outta twelve notes, which gives a lot of freedom, but also severely restricts the circle of fifths and encourages unconventional chords like chromatic mediants and various augmented triads.
You'd probably never notice, but the title "Nines" in morse code forms a recurring rhythm for the music.

    The truth about Lavender Town, whether one is willing to accept it or not, it's literally the most sobering place to be, primarily because it's a Pokémon cemetery.

    The bartender had no wife. Who's that bartender anyway? There was never a bartender in this bar. There was also no bar in this town. This town has a mayor? What are you talking about this town dosent have a mayor. Town? There never was a town here. Are you asking about that house over there at the corner ? There never was a house over there by that corner. In fact you're not talking to a real person right now I never existed you're hearing voices in your head.

    Lavender town wasn't meant to be scary,it was meant to show mourning and loss.It shows how a trainer feels when their pokemon dies and how cubone is sad and scared without it's mother in their life.Lavender town is a graveyard with ghost Pokemon roaming around and honestly the fact they put that in a kids game is oddly sweet for people who have lost someone at a young age yet dark because of the whole death aspect in a game about catching electric mice.

    Imagine you're breaking into a house, you hear strange piano-like noises, it feels nostalgiac, then you realise its the lavender town theme. A man walks out of one of the rooms, holding a bat and wearing a strange rubber mask. You realise it looks a bit like a chicken. You're out on the ground a few seconds later, the last thing you hear, is a faint automated voice, saying, "I really enjoyed that."
