An experiment to find what could be found above the progression C7 to D when it was repeated continuously in a hemiola pattern (C7-D-C7,C7-D-C7,C7-D-C7). I found a melody mostly in eighth notes that contrasted nicely with one mostly in half notes.

I reprise a small chunk of the eighth note melody at the end, which sounds cool when it wraps around to the beginning.

I doubled the entire melody an octave lower and then transposed the melody in the second copy so that it sometimes plays a major 11th, major 10th, or major 9th interval below the main melody in small episodes, adding a discordance which I enjoy hearing.
