91 notes of half of a Tonality Diamond

I made a tonality diamond with primes up to 31 and cut out all of the
results less than 1/1 and improvised using pianoteq with 88 of the
remaining 91 notes.

Streaming video and audio of the performance is here:

Chris, this is pretty cool. Dark and serrated, but not in a
Jack-the-Ripper kind of way. (I know that makes no sense, but it's
what I've got.) No 2s is really interesting, even though I have had so
little luck getting things to sound good in any no-2s scale.

By the way, on my BlackBerry I have "A Nagging Thought", which is very
good and very well named.

Thanks for making so much of your work freely available.

Regards,
Jake

Thank you very much for the listen and comments Jake!

I am very happy to make my work available.

I guess its the privilege of being an amateur to not have to require money
for my music.
- nor do I need to worry about writing music that appeals to commercial
taste.

I'm glad you enjoyed the two pieces you mentioned.

As for the no-2's piece, in general wide voice-ings were required for
anything chordal and
large steps melodically.

This was nice to read this morning!

Thanks,

Chris
