New Music as Generalizable Tonal Predictions: Towards an Anti-Racist Framework
Year: 2023
Type: preprint
Abstract: In this response to "Tonality and Racism" by Jason Yust in Journal of Music Theory, I review the historical beginnings of alternate tuning systems, in particular the Bohlen-Pierce scale, and propose that the study of predictions across multiple levels of analysis, such as for new music, offers a productively generalizable step moving forward.
