Ryan Pratt is a microtonal composer, music theorist, music educator and web tool developer.
He advocates for a ‘top-down’ model of harmony. In this model:
- Intervals are understood through what fundamental they imply, rather than as fixed pitch points
- Chord progressions work by re-contextualizing natural harmonics as partials of lower fundamentals, a new implied fundamental is a new chord
Some of his compositions include Sadhana (2015) written using 48edo ‘eighth-tone’ notation, and K. tracing (2015) which uses an empirical tuning derived from the partials of a real violin. A full discography including more recent works can be found on his Soundcloud linked below.
