Microtonal 2

In this experiment I used the same ascending and descending scaler pattern in multiple related overtone scales. In each 30-node scale, I used the upper partials to create the microtonality.

In the R5 family, I used R5, R10, R20, R40, R80, and R120 in 75BPM and 150BPM, from their respective tempo family. The root tempo of this family is whole-note = 18.75 (.3125Hz).

In a related branch from that group, I used R30 in 112.5BPM and 225BPM, its respective tempo family. This family is derived by multiplying the above 18.75 x 3.

I also used R35 and R70, another branch from the R5 family in 131.25BPM, its tempo family. This family is derived by multiplying the above 18.75 x 7.

I hoped to create a ‘whirring’ of scales against each other, all related, yet in their own distinct families, like branches off the trunk of a tree.

Polyrhythms and polytonalities are created by the scaler interactions.
