I neglected to feature this week’s piece sooner, although it did show up in an addition of Phone it in Friday. Well, better late than never!

Yours portly released a new album last week, Heptadic Structure. It’s an exploration of pieces in 7/4, 7/8, and 7/16 time. Each piece is twenty-one written measures, for a total of 147 measures across the seven pieces. Math is fun!

This week I’m featuring the second track from the album, a duet for violin and cello called “Angularity“:
