about

scale:
1/1, 32/31, 32/29, 8/7, 16/13, 4/3, 32/23, 16/11, 8/5, 32/19, 32/17

subharmonic pulse piano music in which each note pulses at regular time interval based on its subharmonic number. In this case they are 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29, 31 and their octave multiples of 2, 4 and 8.

each interval between notes is unique to that pair of notes and recurs at the LCM of the subharmonic numbers. for example, the 3/2 between 24 and 16 happens the most frequently at every 48 beats and the 31/29 happens least frequently at every 899 beats.

the duration is arbitrarily set to album length - the complete cycle would take about 60,000 years to line back up and start over again. listening to smaller sections is enjoyable and there is no big payoff for listening from beginning to end.
