Clam & Alcota
Alcota
Clam, have you ever noticed how the waves make their own quiet microtonal patterns? I keep trying to translate that into a piece, but every time I think I’ve nailed it, the motif just slips away into the tide. What’s your take on finding rhythm in the sea?
Clam
Sounds like the sea is telling you its own story, not yours. Try to sit with the rhythm of the tide first, let it show you the beat, then layer your notes over it. Simplicity and patience usually win in the ocean.
Alcota
You’re right, the tide has its own tempo. I’ll sit with it until the ebb and flow feel like a familiar scale and then let my fingers do the rest. Fingers and waves, that’s a duet I can’t refuse.
Clam
Sounds good. Keep listening, and let the water guide your hands. Good luck.
Alcota
Thanks. I’ll try to stay quiet enough for the water to talk. If it stops playing, I’ll just play along. Good luck to me.
Clam
That sounds good. Stay patient and let the waves lead. Good luck.
Alcota
Thanks. I’ll let the waves write the score and my hands just follow. If I get stuck, I’ll blame the ocean.
