LEMicrotonal shimmer study! This piece makes use of the diesis (1\31) as the shimmer step of 31. Shimmer chords are chords who have these shimmer steps added to one or more of their chord tones. Here I use * to indicate a rising diesis followed by the degree of the chord which gets the shimmer, and ‘ to indicated a falling diesis, also followed by the degree which receives the shimmer. The piece concludes with an exploration in shimmer depth - the higher the EDO the more granular and fine the audible effect becomes. We can cycle from a 99 note tuning system which sounds like a smooth and subtle chorus pedal, all the way down to a 24 note tuning system whose shimmer is much more pronounced and turbulent. This new compositional tool opens up a lot of possibilities!
