Chromaphasia: (composer, booklet commentary)

Good lord, this song. This song was an absolute pain to write for, due to the technical limitations that come with this kind of music. I had to do a lot of research for this song, such as what types of melodic structures, and what types of instruments to use. This song utilizes Japanese Tetrachords, which are a pain to write around. There are four of them, and you pick two and stack them upon each other to make a full octave scale. Each tetrachord is three notes, which means a sclae is only six notes, instead of the usual eight. This means you have that many less options when writing chord structures and melodies, hence why this song was such a pain. Hopefully the trouble was worth it, at least I think so.
