Colorforms 12: The Gray Horizon


I haven't  played "Colorforms" for a while so here's one. This one is called "The Gray Horizon" which was my original name for a long piece of ambient music improvised in one take by a musician friend of mine. I haven't deviated from the rules extensively: you get four of each color in their traditional shapes, and a black background with added theme elements. The big red triangle represents the Citgo sign in Boston right behind Fenway Park. Its red is darker than the original spectrum red. It could be my solution to, uh, how to fill the space and not overwhelm it with red triangle-ness. Yeah, and making these color, shape, and compositional decisions is just as easy, and irrational, as Pi.
