Pesky Chances
Jar Jar Binks may be one of the most annoying characters to grace our screens, but he yielded some pretty cool music.
I was interested to see wide chords built out of a mixture of thirds and fourths in some of the underscore music for this character, and also the treatment of such chords as homogenous blocks, to be wielded as one wields a single voice.
A little device I discovered in Home Alone (the bassoons) make a guest appearance in what is otherwise just a test to try out some of these wide block chords.
