| november 2009 release ; excellent collection of new music composed in just intonation, compiled by duane pitre ...
standout pieces include charles curtis’ wolftone-infused “stanzas set before a blank surface” (echoes of his recent reading of eliane radigue’s “naldjorlak”), ellen fullman & theresa wong’s “blue tunnel fields” (rife with ellen’s bubbling long-string resonances), greg davis’ “star primes” (a massive groundswell of digitally synthesized sine-tone combinations ala “the dream house”), and duane’s own piece for just-tuned ukelin ...
... as both a crash-course in (the) alternate tuning(s) and a primer of the contemporary composers doing work in just, it can’t be beat ; highly recommended !!! |

va - the harmonic series - musical works in just intonation - cd
imprec272 - cd
the harmonic series is a compilation of musical works in just intonation created by three generations of contemporary composers who utilize this fascinating tuning system. a dense info booklet is included with notes from each artist. this compilation was curated over the span of two years by duane pitre. the goal of this compilation and its accompanying liner notes is to educate listeners about the origins and use of just intonation, as well as to portray the unique beauty of this tonal “color palette,” which is heard by relatively few in the western world and explored by even fewer.
although all the artists on the compilation work within the avant-garde/experimental genre, each artist lends something unique to the collection, and each employs a different approach toward how to utilize just intonation. within the harmonic series you’ll find an array of instrumentation such as piano, cello, accordion, electronics, guitar, ukelin, saxophone, violin, koto, and more.
the featured artists on the harmonic series are: pauline oliveros, ellen fullman, charles curtis, michael harrison, greg davis, r keenan lawler, duane pitre, theresa wong, and zachary james watkins. |
