about

Slow shifting microtonal colour morph.

When you think of a sunset for example, you think of a very simple and continuous motion: colors shift and change, intensity changes, but everything else is still. The sky doesn’t move. This music is similar.

Gala (after the Bridget Riley painting by the same title) exists in a meta tuning system, this time a G harmonic series, 5-tet, 21-tet and 34-tet that are vertically stacked. I carefully select by ear only a small number of pitches and create a new meta scale from these notes. The result is 34 notes to work with.

The 34 note meta scale presents me with somewhat subtle dissonances, which I actually prefer to call vibrations with varying intensities. There is intention to resolve them into anything but themselves.

The approach to form is strongly inspired by James Tenney. Through simple macro gestures, the microtonal world can open up, breath and reveal itself in vertical directions.
