Maqam/Taqsim practise game

oudistcamp - 8-13-2012 at 06:56 PM

Just got my hands on some blank 12-sided dice that could make fun Maqam challenges.
The main maqam families got written on each facade and when the dice get rolled, the challenge is to modulate between the 2 maqams.
Leave a facade for wild card....
You can use 3 or 4 dice, with one showing letters of the scale for tonic, dominants or any note of the maqam suitable for modulations.
One die can even show rhythms (samai, malfuf, maqsum, dawj etc), but I am not there yet....
What a brain squeeze....arm yourself with a good maqam book for reference.....

:D
