I'm a fifth year CS and Music Tech student from CT, and I love anything that makes sound. I’m super passionate about creating new ways to interact with or create music. I’ve been playing piano my whole life, and picked up drums, guitar, and bass over last the last several years. During my time at Northeastern, I’ve had the opportunity to play in the Fusion ensemble and work as a session and performing keyboardist. When I'm not making music or programming, I'm climbing, skiing, biking, and failing miserably on NYT connections puzzles.

An Extension of the Note-Based Tonnetz to 31-Tone Equal Temperament

Fall 2024

Abstact: When musicians approach composing in the visual domain, they are usually working with the traditional notation of musical notes, with markings on staff paper. While other visual representations do exist, like those that leverage the geometric relationships of notes, these models are usually created, and used in the context of musical analysis. However, the visual properties of these geometric representations can be also helpful in the process of musical creation, which is particularly useful in unfamiliar conditions, like alternative tuning systems. I propose the use of the Tonnetz as a compositional tool, and its extension to 31-tone Equal Temperament.
