The fifth track of the album, Name Dance, uses a melody generated from the letters of the name 'Ron Herrema'. Using this system, each unique name generates a unique melody. At the same time, the letters not used in the name generate countermelodies representing the world. The combination of the melody and the countermelodies thus represent an interaction, a dance, between the individual and the world.
If you'd like me to make a Name Dance based on your name, send me the name you'd like me to use as you check out (using the 'Note to seller' link). I will then make the piece and send it to you as a digital download.
