about

An augmented sonification of Kyle Gann's Anatomy of an Octave (the extant condensed version with 580 pitches) in the form of a catalogue piece. All 580 ratios are played against a 240Hz base pitch, one at a time from low to high with a duration of 7 seconds each, with additional chord tones derived from the frequencies (combination tones, Pythagorean means, etc.) using my Implication Organ instrument in Csound. I recommend downloading before listening to get the highest quality sound.

Thanks to Kyle for his work, and for giving me the go-ahead to publish this piece and approving the title.

For more information about the list of ratios, see Kyle's excellent book The Arithmetic of Listening. Also, listen to his music!
