1984 Mathius Shadow-Sky created:

THE EPHEMERODES CUARD* OF CHRONES

* To cuard means: to generate to sound time = to untangle the fibres of time (from French "carder")

 Eternal keyboards Orchestral music game for infinite False gods (= humans) in relay

 

TO START FROM WHAT IS KNOWN TO GO BEYOND IN THE UNKNOWN;
The 7 layers of knots in loop represent each humankind family member:
mother, father, grand mother, grand father, sister, brother and the 7th? the other? the stranger.
This Ephemerode music of elastic time is a play of our own projections of familiar characters interacting in looped knots.

A LOOP IS A KNOT .
A KNOT IS A CONTRADICTORY BEHAVIOUR
WHERE DOMESTICATED HUMANS LIVE TRAPPED IN LOOP
WITH THEIR DEFENCE MECHANISMS

7 layers 1 per family member present the entire loop of the music
in which there are infinite loops: KNOTS (as cellular changing organisms)

A family among other families in the orchestra leaving the familiar.

 

The variation principle of the Ephemerode music is:
REPEAT DIFFERENT LOOPS FROM DIFFERENT FAMILIES
WITH AT EACH TIME A DIFFERENT RHYTHM.
Like Time and Rhythm, Tones (= frequencies) are also elastic
Because all 7 keyboards are perpetually tuned on different nonoctave scales
by the theory called: The Nonoctave Scalar Fields music theory.
The notes played are never the written/projected pitch.

A group of notes shapes a loop starting with 1.

 

Example of a fixed pitch loop in rhythm variation:

 

 

When an Ephemerode leaves the music, leaves the orchestra to let the keyboard to an other Ephemerode performer, s/he plays the D#1 pitch: this is the only one fixed pitch of the music.
This principle has been cancelled in 2013.
It is not necessary to signal by a sound the leaving of an Ephemerode.
