String Quartet No. 2 models a process of actively listening to an imaginary sonic environment. Continuous fluctuations and transformations in sound features trace a landscape of aural engagement. Over time, the modeled listening constructs a sense of the environment’s variegated identity through an always-shifting consciousness of foreground and background.

You & Me

Initial improv on my Axis-49, using Pianoteq, in the 17-note line of purples scale.

The name line of purples was inspired by this video which I saw around the time I discovered / constructed the scale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gU3IA4u-J8

Titled 'Bisexual Lighting: the Rise of Pink, Purple, and Blue' the video explores an emerging trend in pink, purple and blue lighting not only in association with bisexuality, through the use of the colours on the bisexual flag and the tendency to signify bisexual characters with the lighting in movies, but with LGBT(QIA) people in general and the political left wing of YouTube. Bisexual lighting comprises colours from the line of purple, the colours that can be made through combining red with blue (with no green). Such colours do not correspond to the incandescence of any natural light, and could not be produced until relatively recently. The video comments on the use of these colours in club settings and media to provide comfort to and showcase the beauty of marginalised groups of people, mentioning the use of blue light to showcase the beauty of dark skinned people when more regularly used lighting did not do them justice, as well as the empowering use of the lighting in queer-friendly places and in association with queerness in media.

If I may attempt to connect these ideas to tuning theory, where Western common practice music since the Renaissance comprises ratios of primes 2, 3 and 5, it is often the ratios of five, particular the 'sweet' major third of 5/4 and major sixth of 5/3 are though to be particularly beautiful, and much of such music showcases this. Ratios of higher primes such as 7, 11 and 13 have been almost completely left in the shadows. As the line of purples provides light to the darkness of marginalised groups of people and showcases their beauty, this scale I hope might do the same for neglected ratios of 7, 11 and 13 (comprising ratios of 7, 11 and 13 in place of those of 5)

The scala fie for the scale, in cents:

1199.37

It has a step pattern ABACABAABAABACABA, where:
A is a small step of 58.31c, representing 28/27~33/32.
B is a large step of 90.99c, representing 81/77~96/91.
C is a medium sized step of 80.68c, representing the limma, 256/243~22/21.

It is a SIS scale - Simple, Inversionally Symmetric, like white square, which is a generalisation of MOS/well-formed scales, which themselves are generalizations of the diatonic scale. It is made from the Pythagorean diatonic scale:
9/8 32/27 4/3 3/2 27/16 16/9 2/1, by adding the small step representing 28/27 and 33/32 from either end of each step of 9/8.

Like white square (previous track), this scale is also OTC, omnitetrachordal, where each mode may be represented as two equivalent divisions of 4/3, with the remaining 9/8 divided a subset of the division of 4/3. The diatonic scale is OTC.

The diatonic scale, white square and line of purples are all inversionally symmetric, which means that taking their inversion - taking the scale from the top down instead of the bottom up - leads you to a mode of the original scale.

As shown in the diagram, the scale can be conceived of as a 7 note chain of fifths from F-B, making a diatonic scale, and then two five note chains (making pentatonic scales), from Gv-Bv and from F^-A^, where 'v' and '^' take you up and down by the small step of the scale representing 28/27~33/32 respectively. 

I make use in the improv of the scale's accurate representations of 7/4, 11/8, 7/6 and 11/6, as well as the diatonic, pentatonic and tetrachordal subsets.
