Requiem for a Cheerful Sparrow

Meditation on fate, destiny and (in)significance. “There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow”, William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act 5, Scene 2.

Melodies are a mix of random sequences from Melodygen and pre-recorded note patterns from Entrian Player Melody. Some of the Entrian phrases are pre-set, others are chosen at random.

The overall idea was to maintain the generative and randomized nature of the patch, but also provide the listener’s ear with small anchors of recognizable melodies.
