Combining Schillinger Hybrid Harmony with Pitch-Class Sets

This tutorial is about the combination of 4-part Schillinger Hybrid Harmony with atonal harmony using Pitch-Class Set (PCS) 5-9. The hybrid harmony has variable tension, extended chords in 3rds, derived from a 7-pitch scale, a C minor mode. The PCS continuity uses original, transposed and inverted forms, with common notes for different forms. A melodic phrase is based on sequence of all elements from the PCS interval vector. The final diatonic hybrid harmony statement uses a strata harmony approach. There's a returning rhythmic pattern in 16th notes, based on a Schillinger rhythm with a linear growth series (1-2-3-4) in various permutations. The example composition uses a mix of orchestral and ethnic (percussion) instruments. Companion document (text, diagrams and score fragments) and source material available on Patreon.

You are a big inspiration maestro. It amazes me how you can write such heartfelt, appealing piece of music from this very cerebral, quasi mathematical approach. This is the point where art and technic touches. Thanks for your videos mr. Absil!

@Luis Serrapio Fernández Thanks for this very kind comment. May the inspiration stimulate experimentation. The rational and cerebral aspect is what I can turn into a tutorial. The techniques presented should enable a quick start, often required when writing film and media music. Often, after the sketching phase composer preferences and personal style take over and then the creation of art may begin. That however is almost impossible to demonstrate in a tutorial.

@@FransAbsilYour welcome! I need to contact you becouse I would like, seriously, to rebegin my compositional journey after a long time of beein just a "video watcher" :-) I need some suggestions, all above about tecnhical stuffs. Is it unchanged you email?
