The very random tune thread

How about this; we each post a note, wait until there is a good number of posts and then put up our interpretation of what we get?
Rules:

1 One note per post
2 No double posts, wait until someone else has posted, but you can post the same note
3 When playing, any pitch goes but the notes must be in order posted
4 You can play in any time and rhythm you like, if you want to do it all in sixteenths that's up to you :P

Any takers? Bearing in mind that I am the death of posts so you'll all ignore me anyway but I'll start with

D

Actual responses and from a decent number of people who all seem to be insomniacs :P

We've got 13 tones so far,

D F# Ab B A E G# C F F C Bb D

How many do people think we need before we stop the thread and start interpreting and posting our efforts?

MODS: Should this thread be in the Recording section?

It is called serial composition and, yes, it is likely to sound very avant garde!

Studied Serialism at uni as part of 20th century music(art not pop). Though very interesting and it's ultimately unsatisfying. Schoenberg was interested in cotiuing the canon of germanic composition Mozart,beethoven,Wagner, Mahler etc. He felt that tonal has reached its peak and it couldn't be taken any further so developed his 12 tone rows and serialism. He was a bit of a nob but a genius. he also wrote a giant book about music theory which is interesting and difficult. He also put himself in rivalry with Stravinsky who was actually taking Tonal music further mainly through changes to rhythmic ideas, time signatures and orchestration. Who'd a thought a German and Russioan could have been rivals in the early 20th century!

Stockhausen is also a serialist composer, another nutter. He believes he's from another galaxy. He wrote a piece called Gruppen for three orchestra's playing in different time signatures and tempo's.
