I just saw your name in another forum that I just joined today. Since it had the same piece of music that I have already commented on here, I assume it was you. Otherwise there is someone going around with your name and music. Yeah Right.

I agree with you that this is more polytonal than atonal.

Often times, all I do is have an instrument start a note before everyone else is in the same chord and then hold that note until they catch up. You could call it Stacking chords, polytonality or any of a number of things. I just like the effect.

It's funny you would mention Ives. I have had his name come up before with either this piece or another one elsewhere.

Thanks for the comments

Ron
