Hypercube is a polytempic polymicrotonal string quartet in four tunings and tempos, 12, 19, 31, and 53 tet, and 96, 76, 124, and 106 BPM, for my doctorate thesis in 2012. This is a live concert recording of Neo Quartet from Poland and is performed live in Paris Sept. 17, 2023. Yes, the quartet is using click tracks in personal ear buds from their devices. I worked with them on click tracks and the tunings are fairly good, from three other "mean tone" tunings aside from the 12tet in the first violin, to show the microtonal differences.

5.1 channel concrete piece created in ProTools and Reaktor; a different version than the prior slings and arrows...

Nathan Mandel's first performance in Champaign, Illinois, at the Indigo Art Gallery, featuring Jove Defeats Saturn, a play on the first piece Nathan played for me, entitled Saturn Eats His Children--a reference to the Greek myth of the Titans attempting to devour the Gods before they are grown and able to overthrow them. This piece employs four tuning systems and the modulation between them in Rondo form: a-b-a-c-a-d-a, thus opening up the possibility of engaging older forms in newer pitch constructions, as microtones engorge our palette.

Slings and Arrows was created in ProTools with various household items, Reaktor, an African Talking Drum and concrete creations of various types.

Percussion medley

Original studio version of Alien Music, in 4 simultaneous meters, and 4 different tunings: 7-tone slendro, 5-tone pelog, 19TET and 12TET. I am playing the drumset live, with added synths in the studio from Emulator IV, by E-Mu, and composed in DP4. 2002.

I play all sorts of small percussion, in this piece including synth keys in slendro and pelog tuning, 19TET, and standard 12 Tet.

Synthesizer fun with E-MU
