Searching for Lalla in between the vowels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In Searching for Lalla in between the vowels, the figure and poetry of Lalla, a mystic and holy woman who lived in 14th century Kashmir, are explored.Six poems, in translation by Coleman Barks, serve as the basis of a composition for an ensemble of four singers, organ, percussion, and trumpet.Drawing inspiration from the oral tradition which allowed the transmission of these poems, the piece uses speech sound (vowels and consonants) as primary material as well as purely musical (pitched) materials.The body of the work explores transitions between different vocal techniques, such as speech versus singing, and different, distant harmonic fields.By blurring the distinctions between seemingly contrasting elements, the piece transmits the experience of "nonduality" which is at the heart of Lalla's poetry.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
