about

I had a burst of productivity on these subharmonic pulse piano pieces around the beginning of December 2022. This collection represents a few new directions to which I intend to circle back at some point. All of the material uses notes tuned to subharmonics of a fixed note that pulse at regular time intervals according to the note's frequency.

"subharmonic eighth tones" uses 4 pianos tuned to subharmonics 48 to 95.
"35 against 36" is based on subharmonics 35, 36 and their factors.
"diatonic overtone rhythm C#" uses a just major scale via a math trick.
"5 mode" uses a pentatonic scale made from subharmonics 5 to 9.
"20-21 vamp" uses undertones 2,3,4,5,7,21 with a little rhythmic flourish.
