Wanted: Zodiac title


Hybrid Groove Project seeks catchy title for their arrangement of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Tierkreis (Melodies of the Zodiac). The successful title will adhere to the following criteria: 1) make clever usage of the word ‘Zodiac’. For example, Aesop Rock’s track “Zodiaccupuncture”. All title recommendations should be forwarded to the comments section of this post. Please be assured that each submission will receive a thorough and critical screening. The following resource may be useful: http://wordnavigator.com/starts-with/ac/. If chosen, the creator of the successful title will receive an autographed copy of the recording of the complete arrangement. Oooh!

Capricorn Chords

Now that we’ve pretty much got “Leo” from Tierkreis in the bag, it’s time to start moving on to some new melodies. Here’s a “chord progression” made up completely of multiphonics on soprano saxophone that mirror key pitches in the melody that I put together this evening. It sounds decidedly spectral.

Poll: Zodiactivation

Okay, so Hybrid Groove Project is embarking on a massive undertaking that includes working with a certain 12 melodies of the Zodiac. But we need a place to start. Help us choose which melody to begin working on by casting a vote in the first ever SLN Poll. Preview each of the five melodies below.
