Google Doodles are fun!

Today’s Google doodle is right down my alley! I know this!!!

Typically, I don’t get excited about Machine Learning. Most of what I do cannot be “improved” on by using Machine Learning. And my experience when medical staff uses Machine Learning has not been good. It’s been very expensive. But this Doodle introduces Bach and harmonization in 4 parts. That I can get excited about!

I must find out who created the Doodle and thank them!

of curls and beads and quilt thread

I’m still learning to curl my rings. I think I need to go back to the beginning. I think I need to do a sample without beads in the quilt thread I’d like to use. I think I need to learn to walk before I run. I know I’m burning a fair amount of time with this, but I’ve already amended notes for several patterns based on pieces with chordal structure.

Chordal structure is a term used to pigeonhole music that plunks along with several voices harmonizing at once. Think hymns, barbershop, anything with a full rich sound. The opposite is a melody tripping along with an accompaniment or a fugue. Chordal harmonies are not exclusive to Western European music, but hold a very prominent place in the palette of sound.

Once I get the curled rings mastered, I’ll work on one of these ideas I have and post my sketches as they appear in thread. I will do my best to interrupt the creativity to post Tuesday and Thursday here, but make absolutely no promises. I have very little discipline when it comes to turning off the organ and setting down the shuttles!
