New Microtonal Music at MP3.com - shameless plug of music follows

Microtonalists

I have placed some new examples of my microtonal music on MP3.com. For
those interested in explorations of the tonality diamond in a musical
context, you can listen to RealAudio snippets or MP3 compressed versions
of the files. All were created with Csound and some sample files from a
variety of sources. The site is http://www.mp3.com/PrentRodgers . The
source code (macro files and Csound .sco and .orc) are available at my
personal web site: http://pws.prserv.net/Music1 . The source code goes
through a macro-processor I wrote to simplify composition using
microtonal scales and complex rhythms, with a healthy dose of
indeterminancy.

The new songs are:

- Speaking into the Air, a jazzy percussive piece with a simple
theme and challenging modulations around the 11 limit tonality diamond.
The piece stays in an identity for a random number of measures, and
wanders some more.

- In the Tongues of Men and Angels, which uses only the tones of
Partch's Incipient Tonality Diamond, which is limited to the 5 limit.
The piece uses only 6 tones at a time, which I call A-, C, E, F, G,
which is kind of like an A minor, without a B; and Ab, C, E--, F, G,
which is like an Ab major, again without the Bb.
