Pendulum by Bram Weijters & Chad McCullough

Pendulum is a 25-movement suite inspired by the musical genius of Bach and his ordering of musical works like the Well Tempered Klavier and the Goldberg Variations. It is a search to organize the musical moods and atmospheres Bram and Chad have developed over time into one overarching form, in a combination of composition and their own musical voices as improvisers.

The music based on a common musical cell that evolves through 24 pieces, progressing with a structured order through all twelve key-centers twice, with a final reprise at the end, just as a clock circles twice a day through tweve hours, before the next day.
