#93 "Ano'ton, awash", short microtonal string quartet (Audio and score)

Featured Replies

Just something I felt today. Had the start floating around in my mind when I woke up, but the rest (especially the microtonality, my first microtonal harmony ever :D) came as part of the process. Pretty happy with this. If someone wants to check if the intervals are playable, please do. I also have no idea harmonically what is going on, it is all just based on what sounded right to me.

Wordlike is a thing I started doing some years ago. Basically inventing nonsense words and connecting them to something abstract (or a specific meaning). I like to compose and then examine how I feel phonologically. Ano'ton, awash.

Good job with this the micro tonality hits hard because it comes later in the piece. Great for warm-ups and also concert performance as well. I may need to look at the score closer, but it may be a good teaching device.

Thanks! Yeah something I try to practise is to keep inventions and techniques for when they are useful instead of using them arbitrarily. In hindsight I think the form isn't perfect: While composing certain moments felt larger and longer but on listen not so much...

But yeah if you wish to use it in teaching, go for it! Just let me know :D
