With the primes, you simply don’t get any big many-note chords.

“3 minutes”
Yeah, right.

only one more non-prime than prime, more likely that adjacent tones like 0,1 and 8,9,10 and the tritone at 6 are more dissonant than the comparatively well-spaced prime pitch classes, 2,3,5,7,11.

Rich b—perhaps that’s just because there are more non-primes, so more opportunities for dissonance?

what struck me was how dependent the visual and aural elements were on each other for interest, as each is not really that exciting on its own. But total effect is rather novel, and the variations on the theme are clever. I do like good ideas for process music.

Microtones are my favorite. Would love to hear that stereoized and mapped on primes or the Fibonacci series.

“Primes Only” strikes my ear as more melifluous than “Non-Primes Only”, which is the opposite of what I would have expected.

The microtones are particularly cool.

For anyone impatient, I’d say it’s worth it just to see all the dots cross the line at the same time.
