about

Aoat(12+tet) is a piece that I have been working on from the beginning of the pandemic to help soothe and calm me, and I hope it does the same for you.

When listened to quietly, it exists as a nice drone piece. walk around your house and feel the floor with your toes. Listen to the sounds outside.

When cranked, it's a work that constantly modulates summation and difference tones, wherein (almost) every pitch is in 12 tone equal temperament, but fluctuating between A = 436Hz - 443Hz. All filter and stereo effects are a product of this process, meaning they are not happening in the air but rather in your ear canal (from what I gather it's slightly different for everyone) There are also 12 voices here- it would be nice to do this in dodecaphonic whenever I can see y'all again.

<3 Sean
