This track is for two cellos and a little extra help from violin. The tuning is on the fly, with a mixture of quartertones, eighth tones and sixteenth tones, so I guess it's polymicrotonal. this was rendered in Synthfont so the samples are not the greatest. On the other hand some added effects make up for it. I hope. There is no regard for matching the sonic environments with EQ, or reverb. They stand out as an additional articulation to the music. On purpose.

Cello Duet, w some violin thrown in, and some filtering and reverb envrionments

Instruments from all over history from the Renaissance to Hip Hop describe a polymicrotonal landscape in quartertones, 2nd octave overtones, Pythagorean, and 12tet. Polytonal chords from the diatonic collection flank the music.

Polymicrotonal Etude 14

Originally a short Wind Quintet, this piece, with re-orchestrated sounds, has 19tet in the "flute", 18tet in the oboe, 17 tet in the nylon guitar, or clarinet, vice versa, 12tet in the horn part, or rumbly thing, and 16tet in the psaltry, which is bowed, in this case. The piece is tightly woven contrapuntally into 17/16 with layers of triplets and other subdivisions.

Polymicrotonal Etude XVII: Sorry, but we're fucked

12, 18, 24, and variable pitch bend pad this snarling microsnarky vicious insidious snake of sasquatch magnificence wriggling in your ears and brain, eating through tissues and sinews and blood vessels usurping your seat of consciousness.

Polymicrotonal Study No. 18: Snarling Vicious Snark

Four instruments from middle ages to today in 12 2nd octave overtones, 19/31tet, 19tet, and 23tet play polymetric polyrhythmic 5's, 7's and other beasties in a soul-wrenching modern-day musodrama reflecting life's tortures. 2024

Poly micro tonal et ude 19

Multiple systems collide and frolick in a fiendish landscape of pure human desire mopping equilibrium off the tears of the sun in equinox. Fused, at bay. 2024

Polymicrotonal Study XXI: Satyr and Earth Female in the Garden of Eden

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

Polymicrotonal Etude #30: contemplative

Polymicrotonal midi Synthfont file with Aegean Orchestra piano soundfont altered by csound spectral granular Q filter lowpass fun. 2024

Polytetude32

Csound in 6 layers of synthesis with three levels of tuning. Tunings are different but add more to the timbre than to the polyphony as this is "monophonic", yet with multiple voices. Monopolymicrotonality is a term I've used before. 2024

Polymicrotonal Study 33: Layered Melody in Multiple Tunings and Synthesis

this is a polymicrotonal piece in 31-EDO, just intonation and 12-TET

the space between atoms

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."
