The Bloom of Rhythms

The Bloom of Rhythms is a form of music used for entertainment originally devised by the goblin Muspoxostrog Gratuitousspun. The form guides musicians during improvised performances. The music is played on one to five urogugsmanga, a san and a laxsat. The musical voices bring melody, counterpoint and rhythm. The entire performance should be energetic and is fast. The melody has mid-length phrases, while the counterpoint has short phrases throughout the form. Pitches are densely packed in clusters as music moves from chord to chord. The music repeats for as long as necessary. It is performed without preference for a scale and in free rhythm. Throughout, when possible, performers are to use grace notes.

• Each urogugsmanga always does the main melody. The voice stays in the strident low register.
• The san always provides the rhythm.
• The laxsat always does the counterpoint melody.
• The Bloom of Rhythms has a simple structure: three to five lengthy unrelated passages.
• Each of the simple passages is to be loud.
