It assumes that we will always reach a loop if we keep halving any even positive integer or tripling it and adding one if it is odd. I explored what happens when we treat that initial number as a frequency. Repeating these basic operations in 12TET yields a satisfying chain of octaves and fifths, and the resulting pitch relations became the generative core of my composition. The title of this percussion trio deliberately incorporates two Ancient Greek words: kalos (meaning “beautiful) and eidos (meaning “form”). I constructed "Kaleidojecture" using a modified ritornello form in which recurring stretto canons are refracted by episodes of rhythmically driven material laced with metric modulations. ::: SOCIALS ::: Kacper Madejek, composer and editor   / kacpermadejek   https://kacpermadejek.com Han Xia, marimba   / hanxiamusic      / @hanxia6087   Kyle Rappe, vibraphone   / rap_perc      / @kylerappe   https://kylerappe.com Matt Boyle, piano   / mattboyle5      / @mattboyle3137   https://www.mattboylepercussion.com #percussiontrio #contemporarycomposer #newmusic #contemporarymusic #percussionmusic #marimba #vibraphone
