061 - Nicholas Denton Protsack
Manage episode 327046369 series 2464494
Nicholas Denton Protsack's music abounds with spectral delights of various kinds. Our talk today has a particular focus on notation, delving into the strategy behind its presentation. As we study tuning more and more, becoming less rigid with its implementation, it becomes helpful to focus on not just approximating some tunings with others, but also to focus on the broader conceptual ideas behind the tuning labels. In particular, polysystemic tunings tend to hint at the methodology of their compositions. "Firebird" (Sounds Like Things) blends aspects of biological study and music, explores the rich timbre of found objects, relies on reference points, and uses freedom to generate complex music.
