This is really super cool! I can hear the common denominator and you have enough rhythmical and melodic variation to make it very interesting. I do wonder how it would sound like if you broke the rules that you know so well. :) Great stuff, thanks for sharing!

Very expressive with intriguing harmonies. Great composition!

Very powerful and interesting music — thank you for sharing it!

Amazing composition! Thoroughly love all about it. Great unpredictability, rhythms, creativity and playfulness

now I know how to make that sound! wow so cool. Excited to listen to more of your stuff. How was this recorded?

Here ends my adventure with the Tonnetz! This is the piece that closes the series of four works that I have composed based on it.


In the following links you will find the PDF files, where I explain it in detail with the theoretical presentation of the current piece.

I have also created an album where I have gathered the 5 pieces that I have composed following the pattern of the Tonnetz. Each of the first four pieces (all of them for piano) follow the scheme of a different Tonnetz, what differentiates each one of them is the certain number of notes that their chords have. The pieces are presented ordered according to this number of notes that their chords have: 2, 3, 4, 6 notes respectively. In the fifth piece (which is orchestral) the four Tonnetz intervene successively in their different parts.

A piece of music is a mentally constructed entity, of which scores and performances are partial representations by which the piece is transmitted.
(Fred Lerdahl & Ray Jackendoff)

Any tone can succeed any other tone, any tone can sound simultaneously with any other tone or tones, and any group of tones can be followed by any other group of tones, just as any degree of tension  or nuance can occur in any medium under any kind of stress or duration. Successful projection will depend upon the contextual and formal conditions that prevail, and upon the skill and soul of the composer.
(Vincent Persichetti)

Music is a system of signs composed of complex forms which may be represented by physical sounds, and which in this way mediate between mental and psychic contents. To deal with such a system, semiotics are naturally evoked. To describe these forms, mathematics is the adequate language. To represent these forms on the physical level, physics are indispensable. And to understand the psychic contents, psychology is the predestined science.
(Guerino Mazzola)
