TRIANGLEMETRE info-- During October 2004 the National and University Library in Zagreb (Croatia) was venue for an event called a musical measure of the triangle-Trianglemetre. This was a musical measure formed on the basis of the dimensions of a right-angled triangle, the creation of Croatian composer Antun Toni Blažinović.

The triangle-meter was established by the alternation of several (two or three) different measures, in the manner of a horizontal polymeter in which changes of measures came one after another (in the ratio of each dimension of the triangle): a/n + b/n + c/n. The sides of the triangle (a, b, c) determine the number of beats in a bar and are written in the numerator, and in the denominator the kind of the beat (n). Each side of the triangle represents a single bar.

The sides of the triangle can be aggregated and set up as the measure for a single bar. In those triangles in which the dimension of the hypotenuse is not a whole number, he has determined the beat by computer programming and arrived at a smaller deviation than with the live conducting of some of the standard musical measures. Everything has been done on a computer, and accordingly the problem of the division of the measure into the smallest musical units – beats – did not constitute a problem, since with a computer it is possible to define beats of less than 1/64, for example, 1/128 or 1/512 and so on.

This measure can be classified as a mechanical measure attained with the use of technical devices, but there is also the triangle with 3-4-5 dimensions, which are whole numbers, and live performances thus become relatively easy. In live performance of the musical measures of triangles that are not integers, Blažinović mentions the use of monitors on which animation can be used to keep up with the adjustment of the measure per side. Blažinović’s intention is to announce to the musical and cultural world his composing techniques and the musical measures that he has established according to the dimensions of the triangle.

SQUARE ROOT OF A NUMBER NOTE

In mid-August 2005, I recorded the process whereby I realized a note whose duration could be described in terms of the mathematical square root of a number. The duration of the note I achieved was equal to the root of the number 2. The starting point for this note was a triangle with the dimensions of 1-1-?2. The circumference of this triangle was supposed to be equal to the circumference of a circle – the “circle-instrument“ which I had made.

To this circle-instrument, I assigned arcs with the values of 1-1-?2. At the points that are the starting points of the arcs, I installed pins, which strike a bell when the circle-instrument is spinning. One rotation at a steady speed produces a note with the duration equal to 1-1-?2.

If BPM=60, duration of the note is: 1,00 second- 1,00 second- 1,41…second= ~?2

A right triangle with the sides A=1, B=1, C=?2

A circle whose arcs have the lengths of 1-1-?2

the circumference of a trianglee = the circumference of a circle.

The first public presentation of the note based on a root of a number was held on 29.11.2005.at the ZKM (Zagreb Youth Theater) -Zagreb, Croatia.
