 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.
