Quociente

“Quociente” is a work about mathematics. Intervallic frequencies beating against each other produce the rhythmic content of this music. As time moves, the rhythms precede their representative interval: linear first and then the vertical result. I did not intentionally use the music of Capoeira to create “Quociente,” although you may find a few subtle references to Capoeira hidden within. I used the pitched and non-pitched qualities of the berimbau to create rhythmic and harmonic content as an ambiguity. – Jeremy Muller
