One might compose with the overtone series by, for instance:
* Tuning to the first several overtones over one fundamental.
* Tuning to the first several overtones over one fundamental.
* Tuning to an octave-repeating slice of the overtone series for use as a scale (for instance overtones 8 though 16 or 12 through 24).
* Tuning to an octave-repeating slice of the overtone series for use as a scale (for instance overtones 8 though 16, [[otones12-24|12 through 24]], [[otones20-40|20 through 40]]...).
* Tuning to the overtones of the overtones.
* Tuning to the overtones of the overtones.
* Tuning to the overtones of the overtones &amp; the undertones of the undertones. (This can produce complex scales such as [[Harry Partch]]'s 43-tone Monophonic; this kind of thing is more often called "[[just intonation]]" than "overtone music".)
* Tuning to the overtones of the overtones &amp; the undertones of the undertones. (This can produce complex scales such as [[Harry Partch]]'s 43-tone Monophonic; this kind of thing is more often called "[[JustIntonation|just intonation]]" than "overtone music".)
