Koto Duo Great Diesis

Koto Players: Shiho Kurauchi, Chigusa Kitai
Composition: Nick Carlson

When tuning to pure intonation wolf tones are created of many types dependent on dissonance where the notes beat at a certain rate considered unpleasant by many in the Classical period. I use this tuning based on pure thirds to create the comma called Great Diesis. As you listen, you will here the piece fade from pure intonation into the great diesis.
