Interwhining from Echolocation by Mendoza Hoff Revels

A forest or jungle has many beautiful trees and vines that twine around each other, or intertwine. A music scene has many musicians that whine around each other, or interwhine! When people get together and complain in a way that eggs each other on relentlessly, I call it Interwhining. The tune has sometimes 2, sometimes 3, separate lines that interlock and writhe around each other in this way. 

On the melody (starting 1 minute in), sax and guit start in unison playing a descending, loosely diminished line. And then in counterpoint, they play an ascending, loosely whole tone line. This repeats. “This guy did this thing” they both agree descending. Followed by two independent, simultaneous ascending complaints “And then he did this other thing too afterward!” at the same time as “But this festival did this even more messed up thing!”
