Tenuous Refuge

“Tenuous Refuge” is the first of the third-generation Gravity compositions, utilizing only non-transposing gravity points (the longer pitch sets in the square boxes). These sets indicate distinct intervallic relationships both above and below the central pitch ‘B’. The pitch and rhythmic material are all based on permutations of the numbers 11-11-11.

“Tenuous Refuge” is essentially a tuning map that establishes the harmonic spaces that are expanded in the next four compositions:

gravity3.2
gravity3.3
gravity3.4
gravity3.5
