"Everlest" for Pocket Flugelhorn. A Circos Tablature System.

"Everlest" for Pocket Flugelhorn

Beginning in 2012, composers at Laboratorie New Music have been working on modifications of the Circos program to create a systematic, fluid tablature system to facilitate compositional structure.  

The notion to explore this powerful visualization tool came about from a separate study we were conducting on the implications of 'Big Data' on outcomes relating to visualization and experimental musical tablatures.

The potential of big data is immense.  Eliminate constraints on the size, type, source and complexity of relevant data, and composers can ask bolder questions. Technology limitations that once required sampling or relied on assumptions to simplify high-density data sets have fallen to the march of technology.

Bil Smith Composer

A new musical tablature attempting to base a workable theory of aural syntax on concrete tokens.

I have a suggestion to expand the scope of experimental tablatures. Philosophers use a range of tools. To mention just a few, these include logic, probability, game theory, economic modeling as well as computer simulations.

What if, as enlightened composers, we begin using the tools of cognitive science and experimental psychology to examine philosophical music questions. My suggestion with this composition, and moving forward, is to add data science to the catalogue of compositional tools.

Missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 may have flown into tiny island called Diego Garcia. Diego Garcia is a remotely located atoll in the Indian Ocean. The lonely island in the middle of the Indian Ocean is home to a U.S. Naval base and is now speculated to have answers to the MH370 mystery.

Propagators of this theory believe that the little island maybe the actual location where MH370 landed after being hijacked and can now be found in. The island is said to be "one of the world's most remote locations," which allegedly has a "secret prison." The island reportedly has no indigenous inhabitants as they were forcibly removed and were asked to relocate on other locations such as Chagos Archipelago, Seychelles and Mauritius in the year 1971.

Diego Garcia is located 4700 km northwest of Australia and has 1700 military personnel and 1500 civilian contractors residing there.

The lonely island reportedly has a runway that can accommodate a plane as big as Boeing 777. Therefore, Diego Garcia is now considered to be the potential location where missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 can be found, according to a theory.

The theory became the subject of speculation when it was figured that MH370's pilot Captain Zaharie Shah's flight simulator had Diego Garcia's runway location stored in it. Earlier, the FBI reported that there was "nothing sinister" about the homemade flight simulator and files stored in it. But reports claiming that the plane was "deliberately" taken off the radar detection have drawn attention towards the pilot of MH370 yet again.

Furthermore, an American freelance journalist Jim Stone is advocating the theory that claims MH370 may have landed in Diego Garcia island. 

The blogger claims that Philip Wood, an American passenger traveling in the now missing flight MH370, did manage to send a message. The text contained information including GPS coordinates that presented a location that is just few kilometers away from the Indian Ocean island Diego Garcia. The text revealed that Philip Wood has been held hostage by some unknown military personnel.

MH370 passenger Philip Wood is said to be an IBM engineer.  The Examiner further explains Jim Stone's Diego Garcia conspiracy theory. The theory states that the intention behind taking the plane is concerning 20 top employees of Freescale Semiconductor Inc. on the flight. 

These people reportedly worked on the development of semiconductor and were soon going to get it patented. But if rest of the people who worked on the project are gone, the patent can be owned by one person named Jacob Rothschild. Another reason behind the plane's disappearance could be that "some government wanted to get their hands on the knowledge held by the 20 top employees to have this microchip built for some reason," as per the report.

Recognizing how numerous experiments have demonstrated that notational systems have the ability to bond tightly, this work grafts idiomatic passages together so that different themes and registers are spliced in a sort of intellectual surrealism.
