Greg FoxForty-three Divs (January 28, 2007)

A two-track CD (77 minutes) for sampled harp, sine waves and mild percussion, intended as a meditation-aid.
The first track features a harp tuned to 43 equal divisions of a five-octave span, plus sine waves and percussion. The second track is for two threads: one a 43-division harp and the other a 53-division harp. These blend in a way analagous to "bitonality". There is no percussion in the second track but there are sine-waves, primarily as echoes and extensions to the harps.

The piece is a relatively minor project written whilst "chewing the cud" for a broader piece for prime divisions of wide spaces to follow at some point in 2007.

Notes

For this minor collection I have uploaded in medium-quality mp3 rather than FLAC. I do not believe that anyone will need to reverse engineer this piece, so it seems acceptable for there to be a degree of notional "lossiness", albeit imperceptible, at least to me.

Subject: interesting and important work
An interesting exploration into one of the many avenues of microtonal and serialist composition. Worth having in my collection for sure.
This composer has a lot of worthy contributions.
I had this as a nice background interlude this evening.
