true, but the methodology i meant was the 12-tone
system.
i have a "chromatic" approach in that i like to
explore sonorities that
fall outside western diatonic sounds, but i don't
feel the need to
remove a sense of tonic to do so. i
appreciate his somewhat
mathematical approach (pitch class manipulations,
combinatorial sets, etc..),
though i think of my approach as more geometric.
i'm not sure i can explain what
i mean by that, we'll have to wait til i have some
music available on-line...
>** does it depend on which era of
schoenberg you listen to? some of his early stuff is very much in the late
romantic tradition (wagner, mahler, r. strauss) - - not a hint of free atonality
or 12-tone music.
