Harmonics 24 Through 48 Inclusive


Harmonics 24 Through 48 Inclusive is a Just Intonation piano improvisation built off of using harmonics 24 through 48 as an equivalent to 24 et. I found the tuning to be really malleable and intuitive. More tunings along these lines needs to be explored! (The tuning is based on a variety of ideas from Denny Genovese – the scala file is here)
