Eclectic current – The languages of apocalypse

curgklurt

Though stylistically quite different, this work emerges from the same theoretical investigation that produced _My Travels in Euler Space_, as I recently posted.  https://soundcloud.com/david-victor-feldman/my-travels-in-euler-space

This time 3-dimensional space is filled with rectilinearly organized "stars" representing pitches, with one direction corresponding to the interval of an octave, another to twelfths and another to 17ths (major 3rds plus two octaves).  All pitches within the range of human hearing thus lie near a certain plane.  Now a planet traveling a circular orbit moves through this plane, and spins so that its "year" lasts 60 of its "days."   Pitches sound when the stars that symbolize them rise over the horizon as viewed from a fixed location on the planet.

The timbre of the music morphs slowly, for no deep conceptual reason, but simply to avoid fatiguing the ear.

Dark sky, for strings and harps (MIDI)

These five pieces feel like rags to me despite their strange tuning, irrational rhythms and athematic construction.  They all follow the same progression of 73 special chords derived from division of the octave into 34 parts, special because each also closely approximates a selection of overtones from a common fundamental.  Two common tones link each chord to the next giving an effect different from but still something like functional harmony.  One might call the movements mutually isomorphic, even though they differ in all their lapidary details.   Having listened to one or two, the others will sound familiar one a first hearing, but only in a very abstract way.
