about

This CD is an experiment. It realizes a Tonal System not only with pitches but also within the sound itself! All notes played on this CD only contain partials of these notes or frequencies which are again part of the Tonal System in which the music is played. The sound of the tunes therefore has a closed or round quality or whatever you want to call it. All tunes are played using a VST PlugIn for a software sequencer especially built for this CD to realize these Tonal Partials. Each tune has its own Tonal System and a designed partial amplitude structure. There are no additional sounds used to allow the pure experience of Tonal Partials. During this project it appeared that such a synthesizer fits with certain compositional methods. So the tunes on the CD are all composed to explore the possibilities of Tonal Partials. Of course there are endless possible Tonal Systems and endless possible partial structures. So the tunes can only cover a very small amount of the possibilities of this idea. For those who want to get into the experience and enjoy, just listen. For those who also want to know more about the background and the idea, the next pages try to give an introduction. So please go ahead!
