INVOLVEMENT OF GMT, VERSION 3.0 AND NEW HOMEPAGES: The project of NonTonalAnalysis is now carried on by the GMT, Group for researches in Musicology and applied Technology, an international association of musicologists, programmers and composers.

New messages are welcome. We check this page regularly.
We always like to keep in contact with other musicians, especially when we share the same interests: recently we have had contacts about this subject with musicians all around the world, and we'd like to form a sort of 'international community' of musicians interested to the problems of harmony in modern and contemporary classical music.
