The Sonic SkyTranscendent Tonality | Erv Wilson

This site is dedicated to explaining the musical breakthroughs of Erv Wilson and the larger cultural narratives implied by his work.

Wilson can be described as a “musical cosmologist” who, by creating/discovering brand new pitch fields. has cracked open a vast unexplored mother lode of new musical notes for composers to use freely. Many of his dynamic tuning systems have the organic property of spawning an infinite number of previously unknown musical scales nested within each other like Chinese boxes. The video interviews and other content on this site attest to the broad impact of his work.

Please leave your comments and thoughts about each video and piece of music so we can decide how best to proceed with this endeavor.
