With the two pieces and music as inspiration, I created a mix of music. I used Klee's inspiration for Aus dem hohen Lied (II. Fassung) by using the verses that Klee used for the main melody that I sang. The melody itself was random and in E minor. From the Fuge in Rot I took fugues by Bach, a source of inspiration for Klee, who was fascinated with the meter of music, and especially from the Baroque and Classical period. To emulate the style of Klee, and that of a Fugue from the two pieces, I used Bach's Fugue in E minor and his Tocatta in E minor to mix the sound. The reason for the E minor is so I didn't have to modulate between two potentially dissonant scales, so since both were in E minor they should, in theory, harmonize. I cut and copied pieces of the two pieces so that they repeated and overlapped together like a fugue. The sung melody repeated with different verses, and I cut and copied parts of the instrumental pieces so that the volume at which they played during the sung parts depended on the tempo of the pieces. The quicker the succession of notes, the quieter. I also brought out repeating melodies in the Tocatta, like the bright red shapes fading in Fuge in Rot and the colors which emphasized certain words in Aus dem hohen Lied.
