about

This is a piece written in just intonation, designed to shift subtly lower in pitch without it being obvious to listeners. In the leading voice part, every note is a new reference point tuned purely to the note preceding. There are three variations of a harmonic sequence, and each time it repeats it starts 44 cents lower. The intervals are all within 5-limit just intonation. The other parts tune triadically (with some 7ths) around the leading voice.

about

Maddie Ashman London, UK

Hello! I am a composer and songwriter from London. I love writing microtonal music- in particular, I am fascinated by the resonance and unlimited possibilities of just intonation (pure tuning).

I love writing music that is genre-fluid, and I love challenging the boundaries of instruments. I'm interested in the 'unspoken', 'what ifs' and 'unexpected'.

Lots to come this year! <3
