Product details
Ptolemy's Onion is based upon eight simple folk-like melodies. These melodies, however, are never literally heard. Rather, three 'orbiting bodies' manipulate the melodies influencing the purity or impurity of tone production, the harmonic consonance or dissonance and the general homogeneity or heterogeneity of the ensemble. As the patterns and alignments of these imaginary bodies cycle over time, they pull and shape the raw musical material like gravity.
