A Nother Quarter
In the 1990s I wrote a small study called "Half a Beast", on one note at 333Hz (performed at ICMC 1996). This current study follows the same ideas, only now a quarter beast. There are two notes, one after the other, and one pitch in the 4m30s that this sound continues.
Created as a contribution to Tobiah's "Sinewave compositions challenge", using a simple orchestra and a score written by a C program, available at http://codemist.co.uk/jpff/anotherq.c" title="http://codemist.co.uk/jpff/anotherq.c">http://codemist.co.uk/jpff/anotherq.c
