Day 15 - Paul's 15th Chapter

Baby Satellites

Today, I am making a move forward to do something with graphic / scores I have been toying with for a while. I have promised one to someone else already but not realised it yet... So today is the first completed one in three dimensions. It revolves around groups of three players performing from a rotating mobile (not a phone kids). But first you have to get all crafty and build the things so that they rotate slowly but for a long enough time and it's essential that the look stunning when the audience sees them. Oh and the only instruments in this are glockenspiels, toy pianos or other similar sounding devices (unless there is an even number of players exceeding 3 in which case a melody instrument may construct a linear melodic solo from all the material.)
Players stand in a triangle formation facing inwards and perform material as it passes them, but only while they can see it... Where there are more than 2 groups additional groups may be placed around the audience if that feels like the right thing to do. There is no limit to the number of groups of three but each must have their own spinning mobile. Stop when it stops and you have performed all the material in front of you.
