Abstract
Seek Loop is a 4.50-minute composition for a small Jazz ensemble. This musical piece is a part of the creative research project called ‘The Memories for Small Jazz Ensemble.’ The objective is to create a group of songs as a recollection for many places in the university’s Music Conservatory. The author was assigned to compose eight musical pieces with financial support by the Research Institute of Rangsit University.
This article would discuss the conception and guidance for the guitarist of this piece. The author composed this song for a jazz trio of an electric guitar, electric bass, and drum set. The song is inspired by the adjoining chamber of the emergency exit, also a location of the ventilation system of the university’s music conservatory. The concept of the composition needs to explain how the inspiration is an interplay of the drumming repetition and chord progression. The performance needs only the chord progression as it has no main melody. It was premiered on August 26th, 2016, at the performing chamber of the Rattana Kunakorn Building, Rangsit University.
