Abstract

Meditations is an attempt to reconcile myself with all that I’ve learned over the course of this year into a cohesive, expressive project that will continue to grow well-beyond the confines of my time spent at Berklee and propel me towards realizing my lifelong dreams. Meditations is a music methodology that repurposes world rhythms played on indigenous drums for arrangement on a scaled instrument. The arrangements themselves are minimalistic, but hold immense potential for further development; various applications of this methodology are investigated throughout this project in the form of multiple objectives, and in doing so I have developed skills that will aid me throughout the duration of my career in music.
