The Wholegrain Musical Pineapple

The Wholegrain Musical Pineapple is a form of music used for entertainment originating in The Grand Confederations. The form guides musicians during improvised performances. The music is played on two odukoc. The entire performance is extremely fast, and it is to start loud then be immediately soft. The melody has phrases of varied length throughout the form. It is performed in the kungujith rhythm. Throughout, when possible, performers are to play legato.

• Each odukoc always does the main melody and should feel mysterious.
• The Wholegrain Musical Pineapple has the following structure: a passage and an additional passage possibly all repeated.
• In the first simple passage, each of the odukoc covers its entire range from the crisp low register to the pure high register. This passage is richly layered with full chords making use of the available range. The passage is performed using the uwakri scale.
• In the second simple passage, each of the odukoc ranges from the crisp middle register to the pure high register. This passage typically has some sparse chords. The passage is performed using the shudash scale. The passage should be performed using grace notes.
• Scales are conceived of as two chords built using a division of the perfect fourth interval into eight notes. The tonic note is a fixed tone passed from teacher to student.
• As always, the uwakri pentatonic scale is thought of as two disjoint chords drawn from the fundamental division of the perfect fourth. These chords are named deh and othdo.
• The deh trichord is the 1st, the 4th and the 8th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.
• The othdo trichord is the 1st, the 3rd and the 8th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.
• As always, the shudash hexatonic scale is thought of as two disjoint chords drawn from the fundamental division of the perfect fourth. These chords are named mushast and oruslumcopo.
• The mushast tetrachord is the 1st, the 4th, the 7th and the 8th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.
• The oruslumcopo trichord is the 1st, the 7th and the 8th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.
• The kungujith rhythm is made from two patterns: the desle and the pethrebinpu. The patterns are to be played over the same period of time, concluding together regardless of beat number.
• The desle rhythm is a single line with two beats. The beat is stressed as follows:
• | - x |
• where x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.
• The pethrebinpu rhythm is a single line with eight beats divided into four bars in a 2-2-2-2 pattern. The beat is stressed as follows:
• | x - | x - | x x | x - |
• where x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.
