The Finger-Lime of Songwriters

The Finger-lime of Songwriters is a form of music used to commemorate important events originating in The Ceaseless Fingertip-Dominator. The form guides musicians during improvised performances. One to three speakers recite any composition of The Studious Inference while the music is played on a iponeth. The musical voices are purely rhythmic. The entire performance gradually slows as it comes to an end. Never more than an interval sounds at once. It is performed without preference for a scale.

• Each speaker always should stress the rhythm.
• The iponeth always provides the rhythm and should be passionate.
• The Finger-lime of Songwriters has a simple structure: three to five unrelated passages.
• Each of the simple passages is to be very soft. Each passage is performed in the wut rhythm.
• The wut rhythm is made from two patterns: the uthrogumat and the anar. The patterns are to be played over the same period of time, concluding together regardless of beat number.
• The uthrogumat rhythm is a single line with four beats. The beat is stressed as follows:
• | - - x x |
• where x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.
• The anar rhythm is a single line with nine beats divided into three bars in a 3-3-3 pattern. The beat is stressed as follows:
• | X x x | x x - | x - x |
• where X marks an accented beat, x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.
