As I was attempting to fall asleep at approximately 1.00 in the morning, I was musing over the last piece of the album. It's name is **Reductive**, since there is a many to one mapping from each of the other pieces to it. I have also decided to title the other *Untitled* piece **Injective** since all of its themes can be mapped exactly to one theme of the following piece, **Fold**. Well, actually, we'll see about that name later.
I was musing also during the morning hours about **Reductive**. It will be in *7/4*. A single bassoon note will begin. All alone, it will paint the initial two measures. The bass will begin on the third beat of the third measure, playing a repeating pattern which lasts three beats. Well, much like this:
(Elegant elk?) Layout | * * * * * * * | * * * * * * * | * * * * * * * | Bass | x x x | x x x | x x x | Rhodes | x x | x x | x x | Bassoon | - - - - x - - | x - - x - - - | - x - - - x - |
The *x*s are the beats on which the instruments play. The *-*s in the case of the *Bassoon* are a continuous note, the *x*s being the places where the note changes. I'll possibly keep this same rhythm, in the spirit of minimalism, throughout, though variegating the harmony. With regard to the name **Reduction**, one theme from each previous piece will be included, scaled down and most likely transformed.
