The Microtonal Music of Prent Rodgers Profile Page
About
Description:
Microtonal music is music with more than 12 tones to the octave. I'm currently using 53 equal divisions of the octave. All music is synthesized using samples and Csound. The musical type goes from ambient to world to jazz to modern classical. And back.

Album Name:
Soundtrack to The Donner Party
Album Description:
Music for the movie yet to be made. The Donner Party set out in June 1846 for California, and encountered terrible hardship along the way. Especially bad was the time between October and January, when they were stuck in many feet of snow in the Sierras. Many died, and some resorted to canibalism to survive.
