M​.​E​.​E.

about

Written during the quarantine months of the pandemic, “M.E.E.” (Mass Extinction Events) renders life’s rise and fall at the epoch level. My son was working on his seventh-grade science homework and while trying to help him memorize Ordvocian, Devonian, Triassic, Jurassic, Paleogene - a strange melody kept repeating in my head. First, I thought it was “Ring Around the Rosie” - not quite. Trying to get this melody down in my clumsy, drawn MIDI was my first attempt at composing for a quartet. I added my own harmonium and processing to the piece and then sent the sheet music to some “real” musicians for the recording. Essentially, “M.E.E.” is two epochs, with the traces of the first part being side-chained through the second. Each era terminates with exploring the science-homework melody.
