This book introduces polytempic polymicrotonality as a new musical
aesthetic. It proposes music with more than one microtonal tuning
system and discusses examples from the literature to give an
historic framework showing that this tendency has been present
throughout human musical history. Polytempo is a tool for which
polymicrotonal structures can function in relief from its
background, and it acts as a frame, or ground structure, that is
multidimensional, akin to the advancement of perspective in
Renaissance art. The book has historic significance as it is the
only book of its category, or genre, in music that features
polymicrotonality in music composition or production. It displays
examples of music literature for musical precedence in this area,
focusing on Charles Ives's Universe Symphony, unfinished since
1925.
