I remember it as if it were yesterday—the first time I met Sue Roe. We were both in Lisbon, that enchanting city where the cobblestone streets echo with secrets of centuries past. It was a whirlwind week of laughter, love, and late-night dancing under the stars. We knew we were from different worlds, destined to part, but those days left an indelible mark on my heart. Every night since, I've replayed our moments together, from the electrifying touch of her hand to the infectious sound of her laughter. Now, as I stand on the verge of New Year's Eve, counting down the days to our reunion in Rio, my heart races with a mix of excitement and nervousness.

The bustling streets of Copacabana Beach are a far cry from the serene, quiet moments we shared in Lisbon. Here, the air buzzes with anticipation, and the rhythm of samba pulses through the veins of the city. Each sunset brings me closer to seeing her again. My days are spent wandering the vibrant markets and dancing to the beats of street musicians, all the while daydreaming about how our reunion would unfold. The possibility of rekindling that fiery passion fills me with both hope and trepidation. Would she remember every detail as vividly as I do? Would our connection still burn as brightly?

And then, the moment arrives. As the clock strikes midnight, and the sky explodes with a kaleidoscope of fireworks, I catch sight of her silhouette against the brilliant backdrop. Our eyes meet, and in that instant, all doubts melt away. This New Year's Eve on Copacabana Beach isn't just a reunion of two lovers, but a testament to the enduring power of a connection that time and distance could not extinguish. As we sway to the music, surrounded by the exuberant throngs. Sue, with her honey-colored skin, olive-green eyes, and a body that would make Aphrodite jealous, has always been my muse and my dream..

The sonic aspects of this Audio-visual composition are best experienced with hardware (speakers, over-the-ear headphones, ear pods, etc.) capable of a wide dynamic range. There are sonic nuances that are biased towards the lower frequencies (low ends), and some that are biased towards the higher frequencies (high ends). These sonic nuances add character and texture to the composition that may otherwise be lost.

This composition uses (and at times subverts the very idea of) the following compositional techniques: Rhythm, Pulse, Tempo, Polyrhythms & Polymeters, Phasing, Polytempi, Counterpoint, etc. Rhythm, Tempo & Time Signatures are treated as dynamic concepts, not static constructs beholden to any particular musical tradition or orthodoxy.

☆ Polyrhythms & Polymeters, in particular, are compositional techniques that describe pulses which are de-synchronous between two.

☆ A #polyrhythm is the simultaneous use of two or more #rhythms that are not readily perceived as deriving from one another or more sequences of music. Given 2 bars of the same length and #tempo (stacked vertically), a polyrhythm would be dividing the upper bar into 4 beats and the lower one into 3 beats.

☆ A #polymeter is where two sequences are played using different meters, but with the same tempo. For example a pattern that repeats a sequence over 5/4 played against one repeating over 4/4.

☆ #Phasing is a compositional technique in which the same part is played on two musical instruments, in steady but not identical tempi. Thus, the two instruments gradually shift out of unison, creating, first a slight echo as one instrument plays a little behind the other, then a doubling effect with each note heard twice, then a complex ringing effect, and eventually coming back through


☆ #Counterpoint is the relationship between two or more musical lines (or voices) which are harmonically #interdependent yet #independent in rhythm & melodic contour.

☆ The term #mode or modus is used in a number of distinct senses, depending on context. Its most common use may be described as a type of musical scale coupled with a set of characteristic melodic & harmonic behaviors.
