The Ocker Scale
This piece is nearly 2 years old. I remember, back then, that I still wanted to change some things about it. So I flagged it in my mind as "unfinished".
Now, however, I can't remember what I wanted to change. And since it was written in an earlier version of Sibelius I imagine that working on it again would require more remedial effort than I'm willing to expend.
So, here it is, just as it was when I left it.
The text of The Ocker Scale defines the steps of the Ocker Scale, a subjective measurement tool for music listeners. It can be used to succinctly express personal reactions to new works of music directly to the composer or to other listeners. It would be perfect backstage after a concert. Or you can use it in a comment to a blog post. Only a number need be given. Lower is better.

Leslie Harris, in her Mixed Meters debut, is the narrator.
If you have trouble with the Flash music player, you might have better luck here.
Please leave your Ocker Scale number in a comment. Be honest. I can take it.

There is nothing remotely irrational about the shaker rhythm - just eighths and sixteenths in a resolutely unchanging tempo. Yes the rhythms are Irregular and Syncopated but there are no Swing Rhythms anywhere. Yup.
But I guess you know what I was after in this music better than I do, huh? That's pretty amazing. Thanks for your comment.

Between (1) Beyond Brilliant - Wow! and (2) Simply 'Ocker Scalean' Wonderful.
Glad to see you're around again: Needed an 'Ocker Fix'
