Performed (both live and for video recording) by myself, Bassist Miranda Green and Drummer Riley Geer, the piece is built around variations of a central theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme \u2013 conceptualised as a set of scale degrees, rather than a specific melody &#8211; is over the course of the piece transposed into different modes with the shared tonic E. The title is derived from the \u2018sawtooth\u2019 motion of this modal transposition, where the melody and harmony gradually increase in \u2018brightness\u2019 before they jump back to their starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My intention behind <em>Sawtooth<\/em> is to use the theme as a way to tie the piece\u2019s different sections together, while the composition\u2019s musical &#8216;surprises\u2019 keep the theme from becoming bland, creating a middle ground between familiarity and experimentation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist Bio Clarence is a pianist and composer based in the Greater Western Sydney area.
