Episode Synopsis

DOLORES CATHERINO and host Scot Gresham-Lancaster about the use of a technique called Polychromatic composition that Dolores has identified and uses extensively in her work. Using specially modified keyboards with as many as 72 equal semitones per octave, she creates oceans of sound that sweep the listener into new territories. We discuss using these techniques as a new way to leverage the use of intonation to convey alert, alarm and evn emotional content to the listener by way of the intonational content of converting to these more finely tuned pitch schemas.
