Hi all, Here's a short piece written with two mutually-exclusive (except for the root) pentatonic scales from Kraig Grady's meta-slendro family of just intonation tunings. Musically, it's a cycle consisting of two voices in hocket, first stated alone, then combined with itself at 2x and then 4x speed. I think it could be performed if one had six good players with properly tuned hammered dulcimers or mallet instruments (and a seventh for the extra bass notes). The two scales are: 1/1 37/32 21/16 49/32 7/4 2/1 1/1 9/8 151/128 3/2 25/16 2/1 Made in Csound with blue, using a nice instrument called "Sine modulo pluck" (see http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/183) and some reverb. No processing outside of Csound. The link (for streaming or downloading) is here: http://soundcloud.com/mysterybear/sumeru Comments welcome. Hope you enjoy it. - Dave |
