KLarc / Joan of Arc

Concept(s)

• variant of "Karc / Joan of Arc"
• simple rhythm phrase (ga do ga da) repeated with variety of different sticking options
• sticking options arranged simple -> complex, and with increasing hand-speed
• "KLarA" and "KLarC" patterns involve three parts in different time signatures (normal, 1/2, 1/4 speed)
• final phrase has shorter loop to emphasize tension

Structure
each line commonly played 4x

• KarA
• KarB
• KarB-2
• KarB-3
• KarB-4
• KLarA
• KLarC
• KarC
• KarD
• KarD-2

Current use(s)

• often used as intro to Jack Bazaar

Potential use(s)

• combined with other similarly-repetitive patterns with increasingly complicated sticking, could form sort-of Reich-like naname piece
• adding a part for 1/3 or 2/3 time sounds interesting (i.e. 100bpm, 50bpm, 33bpm, 25bpm)
