Provenance

Description

Variation 2 returns to Animé and the valley shape, but broadens everything — the span extends to B1 below and D6 above, and a new color enters: blue. G#5, a note outside the B minor chord, renders in blue-green, a cooler element pressing against the warm yellow-green and orange that anchor the chord.

The dip goes deeper here: B1 is nearly the lowest audible pitch, appearing as black in the bass. The return climbs past D6 — lighter orange — and over half the canvas holds light tones. The chord's core palette warms toward the highlights while the blue-green accent stays distinct, unabsorbed.

The valley shape carries forward motion, the dip a brief contraction before the return. Against the chromatic pull of the blue accent, that motion gains a slight tension — the resolution not quite complete until the color settles back into yellow-green.
