Luis Hernández Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 To celebrate this day, I've been working on this piece. It's a big canon in prolation. It's not a live performance, so the slurs are for expression (for the software to do them).

Monarcheon Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Quite a few clashing tones... I think that's may main issue here. A lot of these don't resolve quickly. Look at m. 7-8. Beats 3 and 4 of the outer voices feature a neighboring cluster around A. Beats 1-3 of measure 8 do the same thing, but around the A in the bass. Measures 5 and 6 have the inner and lower voice switch off playing a minor second (prime form). It almost sounds bitonal but a lot of these tones seem to be doing their own thing rather than functioning as a unit as Ives would have done. Despite all this, I could still here the atmosphere you were going for and it's definitely a bit of augmented reality! Intriguing stuff. Merry Christmas! Quote
Luis Hernández Posted December 25, 2016 Author Posted December 25, 2016 Thanks for your words.... However, I don't think this can be seen from that point of view. Yes, there are "areas" where a tonality flies over, but there are no strict tonal relatioships. I mean, dissonances are the main feature here, not the problem. On the other hand , of course, anyone can think this is crap. Quote
