Three crystal growth algorithms in 23-limit constrained harmonic space
Based on an algorithm developed by James Tenney, the author generates pitch ‘crystals’ in a multidimensional harmonic space. These compact harmonic structures, which grow to include complex intervals in extended just intonation, are the basis of several compositions including the piano trio reminded of charlemagne palestine.

On ‘Crystal Growth’ in harmonic space (1993 – 1998) 1
The author proposes a method of gradually constructing pitch ‘crystals’ in harmonic space through a simple algorithm where each new pitch is as close as possible to all the pitches already present. Interestingly, the algorithmic growth of these crystals seems to mirror the historical development of pitch resources, including the shift from Pythagorean to just intonation in the sixteenth century. As the crystals continue to grow, they imply the em…
