Practice-led research into music : a synergetic trifecta of glissandi, microtonality, and isorhythms

The contribution to knowledge, and the core of the research, is a tonal foundation based on glissandi using compositional techniques derived from synergy of glissandi, microtonality, and isorhythm. The techniques are performed on specially constructed guitars in 18, 24, 30, and 36 tet (tone equal te...

Description
Summary:The contribution to knowledge, and the core of the research, is a tonal foundation based on glissandi using compositional techniques derived from synergy of glissandi, microtonality, and isorhythm. The techniques are performed on specially constructed guitars in 18, 24, 30, and 36 tet (tone equal temperament). Guitar based musical artefacts demonstrating some possible techniques are arranged on two compact discs: CD1 ‘Experimental Miniatures’ and CD2 ‘After Twelve’.
