The Embrace of Satin

The Embrace of Satin is a form of music used for entertainment originally devised by the human Tiquo Oldcrowded. The rules of the form are applied by composers to produce individual pieces of music which can be performed. A speaker recites nonsensical words and sounds while the music is played on two kise and a ime. The music is melody and rhythm without harmony. The entire performance should feel mournful. The melody has long phrases throughout the form. The music is broadly layered with chords spanning the range. It is performed without preference for a scale and in free rhythm. Throughout, when possible, composers and performers are to glide from note to note, play arpeggios and play staccato.

• Each kise always provides the rhythm.
• The ime always does the main melody.
• The Embrace of Satin has the following structure: one to two lengthy passages and an additional passage.
• Each of the first simple passages is moderately fast, and it is to start loud then be immediately soft.
• The second simple passage accelerates as it proceeds, and it is to be moderately loud. The passage should be composed and performed using melismatic phrasing.
