The speaker horn is something I have been making and studying for quite some time. Through contemplating the spatial imaging and directionality of the horns, I began to think about utilizing these qualities dynamically. The way the projected sound coming from this spinning horn is reflected off surfaces in the environment is similar to a Leslie unit. The resulting effect envelops the listener in a variety of merging wave fronts both emanating directly from the horn, and reflected off surfaces in the environment. Twisting phase relationships and Doppler-effect pitch-shifts occur within this unique kaleidoscope of sound.

The rig has a foot pedal to vary the speed from slow undulations to a very fast swirl. When Andrew Bird played his violin through this unit for the first time it was immediately apparent that the two are a special match.

However, the arrangement in figure 1a demonstrates much greater independence between its two voices, with movement in one part while the other halts, divergence in the melodic direction of the parts, and with at least some occurrence of dissonance.

In a longer melody the voices could peak at different times - this would also emphasize their independence. J.J.Fux's Gradus Ad Parnassum is the classic text dealing with species counterpoint and fugue; it presents a set of rules for writing in the style of 16th century vocal composition (i.e. Palestrina style).
