LA STREGA BIANCA DELLA LUNA II (the white witch of the moon #2) is a 12 tone 
composition in 5 simultaneous equal temperaments: 13, 17, 23, and 29 tone tuning. Each of 5 
sine waves synthesizers is tuned to the nearest pitches in one of these scales to standard 12 
tone tuning. All 5 synthesizers then play the same 5 voice, 12 tone canon simultaneously. This 
results in each tone being not a steady tone, but a complex sound with many different rhythmic 
beat patterns. The harmonies that are formed do not then conform to standard tuning, but make a
 series of unique sounds, each with its own beat pattern and timbre. The piece was made with 
John Dunn's "Kinetic Music Machine" algorithmic composition software. Each time the piece is 
performed, the program generates a different 12 tone row to form the structural basis for the 
piece. This recording is an 8 minute version of the piece that was originally installed in the 
Warrnambool (Australia) Art Gallery between April 29 and May 3, 1998, which was funded by a 
grant from Arts Victoria, the Victorian state arts funding board.
