Figured Basses
I have a penchant for re-arranging pieces originally written on a bass for string quartets or string ensembles. In fact one of my first classical pieces was written for two basses, then arranged for string quartet. This one was an etude I wrote in the 90s that is based on a compound time signature and cycles through 4 dominant 7th chords (or Mixolydian modes) a minor third apart: E7, C#7, Bb7, G7. Now I've re-arranged it again for the Songday series for an album of pieces that are a minute long, as Sum IV.1 (as "shortets"). Sum III are pieces an hour-long (like field recordings), Sum II are pieces that are about days, and Sum I was an album of songs per month (There are none (yet) for years).
