Modulation Techniques in Pure Intonation

Artistic Research
#1

Hi,

I’ve been struggling with this for a while and I’m stuck, so here goes: are there any good sources/publications available on modulation techniques in pure intonation? I’m especially interested in modulation techniques between prime subseries of overtones/harmonics.

Any hints or insights on this issue would be much appreciated.

All the best,
António

Hi,

Months have passed since I first posed this question, and it remains as open as ever. I found no workable solutions to the issue I raised beyond a rather crude modulation between primes p and q through p*q.

All the best,
António
