Tatiana Heuman: Bongo-Drum Kit
Jon Heilbron: Double Bass
Gerard Lebik: Tenor Saxophone
Quentin Tolimieri: Piano, Analog Synth

Depart from the subharmonic scale, present through 10 stable sustained tones that act as a Cantus firmus, in the way composers Pérotin or Léonin worked in the XII century,initiating what is technically considered ‘counterpoint’, yet in this case, from scratch.

This Cantus firmus acts as a context for 10 melodic motives in 2 voices that exist and develop in simple polyrhythmic patterns that alternate and give space to field recordings made through cardboard tubes of specific differing dimensions in varying locations around the planet, tuned with the same frequency and acting as a Cantus firmus in each section. When placing a microphone inside the cardboard tube, resonant frequencies produce a pitch. I made these recordings changing the tube length in order to obtain these subtly varied pitches, each being a tone of the subharmonic scale.
