A Poem For Neutral:

Like life's details, elaboration derives from nothingness and neutrality.

Take time to appreciate the inaction that comes with implementing neutral's simplicity.

Plan your pace and neutral will serve you well.

If your pace is haste, neutral might still help with wining a race.

Neutral is the space in the gears that lets you coast and float.

This dynamic is universal for cars and boats.

Like a reward for healthy preparation.

Neutral is the non-gear and a benefit to those who are patience.

Neutral isn’t a passive cult leader blabbering.

It’s the poise, deportment, and perseverance.

Sure, other gears are for movin’ hard and fast!

But remember, neutral is where it all starts and neutral is a secret love for a pilot's professional’s heart.

Video Details:

No iMovie. Maybe a few of the background and a GIF or two, but not really. These videos were created with Final Cut Pro. For this series of video, I took a completely different approach. I used multiple projects within one “Event.” One way Final Cut Pro is different from iMove is in the project management. There are many possible projects within one “Event” in Final Cut Pro. Each song of Cumbia Transmission is a separate project within the “Tetrahedroseph TV” “Event.” The Final Cut Pro file, the Event is huge. It’s 188.54 GB. That’s a lot for my little Computer’s HD and I probably won’t approach another Music Video series like this again. This was an all-together approach. I wanted to create all the videos quickly and to share the various editing assets that went into each video project. I wanted to able to take assets from the previous song’s video project and use them again for the next. I liked copy and pasting the assets and then tweaking or customizing them or the next song’s video. I liked it, it was efficient and synergistic but my computer can’t handle it. The lack of hard drive space burdened other computer related projects.

Song Details:

Counting "Cumbia Transmission" should be easy. No intended tricks. Count like it's a 4/4 time signature and regular pop/edm/hiphop rhythmic accents. Reference the snare drum on beats two and four.)

The tempo is 110bpm and the key signature is C major. None of this changes. The length of the other songs might change, but never the key signature or tempo. All songs start on the downbeat. The accents are all that change and that might create a rhythmic illusion.

Listen for the original wood block solo in "Cumbia Transmission". Listen for the accents and listen for the solo to intensify via rhythmic complexity. After this first song, listen to the others. Notice the deviations in rhythmic accents and how the accents correspond to the song's title. Yup, wood block solos for every song.

“This is the first album in a new series. Released March 18, 2022, Cumbia Transmission. Look for the follow up release Cumbia Truck. The album was a song first, but then it seemed fun to make enough versions to create an album while honoring the new tuck theme.
