1. Long Sound
Single pitches, held for a long time (full breaths, full bows, etc.)
Timbral evolution definitely allowed.
|
5. Intervallic Line Formings
Melodic lines made up of large intervals.
|
9. Legato Formings
Melodic lines with legato articulation.
|
2. Accented Long Sound
Long sounds, as above, but with an accented, assertive attack.
|
6. Multiphonics
If your instrument doesn't really do multiphonics, any other sort of
skronky noises will do.
|
10. Diatonic Formings
Melodic lines made up of notes chosen from a scale (of your choice.)
|
3. Trills
Quickly alternate two pitches, not necessarily adjacent, not necessarily regular rhythm.
|
7. Short Attacks
Isolated sounds with short attacks, like the diagram.
|
11. Gradient Formings
One or more musical elements -- volume, tempo, pitch, timbre -- gradually
changes.
|
4. Staccato Line Formings
Melodic lines with staccato articulation.
(Not a single pitch, despite the diagram!)
|
8. Angular Attacks
(Like the diagram?)
|
12. Sub-identity Formings
Digression -- a snatch of a familiar tune
develops as a submotif out of a diatonic forming, ends and
then yields to the latter; or a section of trills set within a piece
primarily comprising long tones, etc.
