Tonight, Shahin and I got together to do some writing. Brett took his family away on vacation (the beach, I think), so Shahin and I sat down to work some more on Ripple. We worked out most of the structure last week (A -> B -> C -> A -> B2 -> C2 -> D -> C3 -> A), as well as the pacing and key. Tonight was making sure that we remembered the setup from last week, as well as further tightening the transitions.
The transition into the D section is to accelerando from about 87 to 144. The idea is to build up a mass of frenetic motion, probably with Brett and myself holding down the fort while Shahin (and the to-be-determined other musician) goes off, soloing on top of it.
After a while, we revisit the theme from the C section at the new pace, but instead of coming back down to the E to resolve to the A section, we're going to move to a high B (it's probably going to end up being me doing this). While the B is sustaining, Shahin will pick back up the original, more sedate A section at the original pacing. It should make for a good little tune.
