Microtonal Computer Music Etude w drums #20

This, my second mixed Trio in poly, features 17-19-21-23-25-28-31 seven note scale in the cello, that loops 6X against two polyrhythmic contrapuntal 24 unequal Pythagorean scale of al Farabi in the piano, and Ben Johnston's 6th Prime row of 25 unequal per octave, in the Clarinet. The interplay is finely thought out and responsorial. The poly trio is a new form I am experimenting with for more transparency for the contrapuntal interplay between the instruments in polymicrotonality. 2025

Mixed Trio in Polytempic Polymicrotonality #2

Twist

This piece is an outgrowth of the previous sextet that is now a NONET, with English Horn, C Trumpet, violin, viola, cello, 2 marimbas, guitar and piano. This is fully polytempic, but is only standard tuned, no microtones. (unless of course 12tet in-itself is already microtuned as it deviates from just overtones) . This piece is sprightly and alive, quite the opposite of its composer, so that remains an enigma. 

Just Shut the Fuck UP, it's a Beautiful Day Outside and I have a Boner, so don't ruin it.

Like a wild Klezmer orchestra, everyone is going dixieland Mad with pdlytempo and polymicrotonality, for piano, guitar, violin, viola, cello, 2 marimbas, English horn and Trumpet. It's a mad drunken bar fight but, fun, a fun mad drinking bar fight. No one lives! Composed today and all week. This is related to the Boner happy day piece. You're welcome. 

Polymicrotonal Nonet I

This music is about how we are all fucked and Trump will destroy the Earth, as I've been fucking telling you idiots for the last ten fucking goddamned years and you just sat on your ass doing nothing. Happy Death. 2025

Nonet in Polytempic 12tet, updated version, for English Horn, Trumpet, Violin, Viola, Cello, two Marimbae, Piano and Guitar

Music for English horn, trumpet, violin, viola, cello, two vibraphones, guitar and piano. Tunings will be discussed later. Working on score, still. This piece is constantly evolving. 2025

Polymicrotonal Nonet, without Polytempo, version 2, for Violin, Viola, Cello, English Horn, Trumpet, 2 Vibraphones, Guitar and Just Piano

Totally synthesized version of nonet for acoustic instruments, all with samplers. Relax and enjoy, or I'll kick your fucking ass. 

Nonet synthesized, Version III

2 Trumpets, Horn in F, Trombone, Tuba in 99-98-97-96-95 ratio tempi relationships with "large" quarter and eighth tone modulations. Quasi tripartite form in a Schoenbergian sense in that there is no tonic-dominant axis for formal constraints, yet the microtonal modulations act in place to delineate form. Simple retrograde is employed to a general singular "diatonic" line multiplied and displaced by the pdlytempo. This is not phase music. This is still polytempo but at micro rhythmic gradations. Each tempo is marked by a .5 beat difference between the five parts. There is no convergence, only separation, like our country. Frankly, like the world today.

Polytempic Polymicrotonal Brass Quintet

Here I try to imagine a sort of extreme "new complexity" with distant roots in common practice (sonorities informed by the overtone series, form emerging from root progression) and uninformed by any serial practice.  Complexity can bring one to the edge of legibility or past it.  I believe this music remains legible if attended.   Admittedly I speak as the composer, but I literally hear new and different things going on with each listen.
