Path Under the Dilemma
Liner Notes
This was a fun one, done for @nwhosings's #WriteByDice challenge (https://write.fawm.org/forums/2927). I rolled a 1 on the d4, so just one constraint, and then got a 32, which was to write something through composed, which was a concept I wasn't familiar with, but is basically writing a song without repeated sections. I decided to do this one as just a melody on my #OctaveMandolin. I wrote out most of it, but the ending wound up being improvised because I lost the thread of what I'd written while I was recording it. The title came from #titular.

Love the octave mandolin here. Writing a through composed piece is indeed a hard challenge! I really enjoyed where you took the melody around 42sec.. A solid one take.

Oooo, love the sound of this instrument! This is a cool result for the challenge, I have to say, I didn't expect something through composed to be instrumental, but it's lovely. Really, I have to listen to it again.

That's a cool challenge (is it still available for people to take up?) and I like the idea of a non-repeating instrumental melody. Yay for octave mandolin!

What a fun challenge! Was really interesting to see what you came up with on the octave mandolin and love that you did this in one take.

Quiet and gentle, finding its melodic path nicely.
