This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
In my artistic work, I examine the phenomena of the repeating pattern of the chromatic lament bass as a musical element rooted in cultural associations and musical expressions of sorrow and pain to explore how these centuries of cultural connotation can be and is used in music and musical storytelling to convey emotions of grief, despair and sorrow in the Western tradition of the harmonic style of 18th-century European musicians. My work seeks to showcase how the cultural association of certain musical elements through reiteration and recurring exposure to them establishes a narrative and emotional response in the listener exposed to Western traditional modes of musical pieces.
