Name: Polymicrotonal Etude #30: contemplative by pthoege
Duration: 3 min 54 s
Description: This is a classical four part harmonic plan with four different timbres expressing themselves microtonally. the inharmonic overtones obscure the resulting pitches lending an air of ambiguity. The tone is contemplative, not somber. 2024

Does the "harmonic plan" have a rationale behind which tunings are grouped together? For example Milhaud deliberately chose certain tonalities to combine  in his bitonal pieces depending upon how "ambiguous" of a result he wanted, unless I am embarrassingly mistaken. You should make your next book about your compositional method.

lyrics
i'm pointing a stick at you
you're gonna love it there
where i'm sending you
you're gonna love it there
because i've been there
it's lovely
we all gonna go
did you give up already
ракета smile
song 5 was a zombie au
if you only made certain to properly follow proper protocols
no such problems would exist
kick my hat off the ring
quietly so no one notices
zombie apocalypse fantasy is okay
as long as you don't kill people in actuality
searing pain i keep living in fear
choking every day getting high on nasal spray i want to
it's alright it's okay
harm sounds fun
oh unfamiliar faces
run into a crowd
never been a violent kid pipes leaking hot water
gaslit your grandma inhaling dust
black snot not allowed near kids clothed people
that take deep breaths and put their eyes on your forehead
i'm fine with being whatever statistic
not that i care at all but
grandma will never call you again 
after you pulled this shit on us
kick my hat off the ring
quietly so no one notices
a self-help guru said to me
the world is doomed but you are not
i will face the day take a deep breath nasal spray i want to
it's alright
well really i'm worried about me
last morning was a blast
stick around til the end

TUAREG RISING!

[radio/video cast you looking at a body]

下裝是紅色的，以前是白色的。我正在踩庫帕斯。我把它們寫進聖經裡了。他媽的克里斯普拉特。
bottoms are red they used to be white though
i'm stomping koopas put them in the bible
fuck chris pratt everywhere i go need a sniper
move like i'm viper move like i'm viper you know i come with the shits like a pipe
i scratch my face with hundreds [100$] ok
[...]

this is all bullshit you are not fighting
look at your idols they nazis

and i knew that when buying
bro is just honest and i'm the one lying
life getting worse take a hit i don't mind it
[radio/video cast you looking at a body]
oh i'm not an artist i hate music i heard zero songs
[video cast you looking at a body i will text you]
i'm getting money i'm robbing bury the body
all graves run away
cracks in the armor x4 [got racks in the armor]

From the liner notes on my CD now available on AMAZON and New World Records:
"The author of these notes has spent his life explaining radical music, and the music on this disc may be the most radical I've ever written about. Peter Thoegersen (b. 1967) is not yet a name known to the music world; not for any lack of connection to other famous musicians, but because he came to composition late, and because his artistic aims are so broad and complex that they have taken years to evolve. His aesthetic is well defined, and he is upfront about having a name for it: "Polytempic Polymicrotonal Music." That means he has musical layers simultaneously moving in different tempos, plus, even more radically, that he has different microtonal scales playing at the same time. Few composers have aimed at such fervent and heterogeneous multidimensionality. And yet, while Thoegersen's music can seem overwhelming at first, running through it is a level of charm and simplicity that belies the initial impression.

In total, these three pieces emphasize a particular side of Thoegersen's output. The image his music creates of ornately mathematical structures filled with intuitively friendly melodies maps on to the personality of the man himself: outspoken and acerbically ruthless in his musical opinions, Thoegersen is also marked by a jolly sense of humor and an inexhaustible love of cats and other animals that make him ultimately less imposing and more personable than he might seem at first. The same can be said for his music. And by going further than anyone else has gone in terms of this particularly American concept of fusing the polytempic with the polymicrotonal - extending and combining the conceptual worlds of Ives, Cowell, Nancarrow, Partch, Carter, even Frank Zappa and many others - he has created a special place for himself within American music."
