DESCRIPTION:
This week’s project explores invokes Morse Code for its rhythmic content. The instructions are as follows: Select a word or phrase. 
Encode that word or phrase by the Morse method. Record a rhythmic foundation in which the dash is represented by a long beat and the 
dot by a brief one. Use that rhythmic foundation as a loop for the length of your track, at the speed you desire — speed can vary over 
the length of the recording. Record accompanying drone/melodic material that takes the underlying rhythm as its compositional foundation.
