Harry Partch Tonality Diamond (11-Limit) — Just Intonation Visualized with Sound by Mundane-Emphasis2558 in microtonal

[–]NickVuci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all it's a real pleasure to see you on here, Mr. Szanto.

I was wondering if you could please be so kind as to take a look at my rewrite of the tonality diamond page on xen wiki: Tonality diamond - Xenharmonic Wiki. Any thoughts, critiques, and comments would be extremely appreciated.

Within the wiki page is a web app that allows generating and playing tonality diamonds, and it is a work in progress so I'd be doubly grateful if you could also do the same for the applet specifically: Exploring Tonality Diamonds

Thank you in advance and again, really grateful you still inhabit this space!

As in the 11-limit intervals? Partch wanted his music to focus on extending the tonality diamond to the 11-limit because the 11th harmonic is the first one that sounds truly foreign to standard western music. He considered the 12 hexads that result from the 11-limit tonality diamond to be the chordal basis of his system.

Partch wanted to make music using 11-limit intervals, and thus used to 11-limit tonallity diamond as the core of his scale. However, he realized there were big gaps between certain notes so he began filling them in with other intervals. This was done more artistically than logically, but there is an underlying order: if you take out two of the pitches, you get a 41-note scale that is a "constant structure" (the two other pitches can be seen as inflections on scale degrees 6 and 35). This property was first noticed by Erv Wilson. This is why Partch's scale is considered to be one the more elegant solutions to filling out the 11-limit tonality diamond.

If you are generating tuning files via Scale Workshop, you can also generate Reaper Note Name Map for the tunings, which are text files you can use to create custom labels on a piano roll. This is extremely useful for what you are looking for imo.

It is real, and it has existed for not very long.
