11/10, for Virtual Instruments
Music by
Scott William Perry

This single ca. 45 minute composition that appears on this album re-orchestrated six times is in 11-Limit Just Intonation. It is meant for a computer to perform. Humans cannot play this music on live, acoustic instruments. There are analogue equivalents for all of them but the highest notes are passing at a rate that humans cannot keep up for very long. Also, the tuning of the scale used is not available on most of the instruments. The tuning is 1/1, 33/32, 11/10, 7/6, 5/4, 4/3, 11/8, 3/2, 99/64, 33/20, 7/4, 15/8, 2/1, with 1/1 being the same C you find in 12 EDO when A=440Hz.

There are a lot of influences from experimental music that went into this composition. Careful listening may reveal connections to Xenakis, Riley, Cowell, Tenney, Partch, Nancarrow, and an adult life spent in listening and composing in this vein.

Revised 9/27/23, added reverb tails and improved instrument balance.
