Story behind the song
In Ritual of Confession I have the reed mouth organ play a M7 drone the way the Indian tamboura would accompany sitar. A drone on the fifth note of the scale is not used if theres no fifth in the raga. They either use a fourth or a M7th.
My chosen scale is a heptatonic (6 note) scale having a C, no D, some kind of E, some kind of F, a G, an A, and some kind of B. I could have used a fifth drone for my scale since it has a normal fifth but Im focusing on the M7 for this piece. The ratio of a M7 is 8:15.
This time I took the drums rhythm from a traditional pattern from Kim Deok Sus book on changu drumming for Korean Samulnori music. Hes the most famous and best changu drummer. I got to meet him when I was there. I took the rhythm from Gutgeori Jangdan. Gut means ritual and Jangdan means rhythm.
The low rumbling is my Leo lion growling. Ive placed the rhythm into the 8/8 matrix which also has 16 sixteenth notes per measure. To create the measure of 15 beats, I just subtracted one 16th note from the existing rhythm.
