Seminaiadma
Composed by Andrew Moses
“Seminaiadma,” the name of the smallest dyad in the piece (3.5 cents: the edge of perceivable pitch difference), uses an ensemble of violins tuned in extended just intonation relationships to maximally reinforce artificially perceived or aural-il- lusory difference tones, which hover near the threshold where pitch becomes rhythm from 40 Hz to 3 Hz.
Performed at the opening of a two-person exhibition by Teresa Piecuch and Andrew Moses: “Telepathic Radiation Causality”, June 24th, 2023.
