MANSON
The second in the series, "Is there evil in a name?". In similar fashion to its predecessor, this composition uses serialism based on a conversion of the letters of the full name "Charles Milles Manson" with measure length and position being determined by birth and death dates of the subject. The patterned melody is layered through different time signatures for different instruments. A crescendo builds throughout the composition culminating in a sudden finish. Eery melodic figures are accentuated by the use of dissonance and a polyphony based on a flat five intervalic motion. The result is a chilling, bleak sound that is analgous with demented thinking.
Is there evil in a name?
This series is designed to consider the idea of intrinsic evil through music. By using the names of infamous people throughout history and converting the letters of the name to a pattern of tones, I create melodies that are derived from 12-tone serialism and mathematical patterns. These compositions are then bound by measure numbers that correspond to the dates of birth and death of the subjects. Finally, these melodies are played by instruments of my choosing that are descriptive and analogous to the patterns, habits, and qualitaitve properties of each observed name. The results are, in some cases, eerily indicative. In others, the bizarre reigns.
