An experiment using piano notes from various Monk vids I pulled off of Youtube. I was watching Straight No Chaser last night and I'd always felt that certain moments in a Monk performance are like shards of colored glass from stained glass window... they sort of hang out there all alone. I wondered if it might not be fun to try and reassemble them into some new abstract shape. It would be an interesting electronic instrument that allowed you to play notes and video clips of you favorite musicians.

    Pretty cool, Alex. Monk is one of the true greats.

    yeah in some ways I found this to be a wrong headed exercise in that it's how monk strung the notes and chords together, but I couldn't resist them as discreet bell sounds either.

    An experiment like this would be interesting in the hands of a musician. I more or less treated it like a collage, or sculpture.
