[Smt-talk] Heavy metal and set-class analysis

[Nicole Biamonte]

Hi Scott,

I don't think there's much out there. The last section ("diatonic vertical
dissonances") of this dissertation is worth a look:
Lilja, Esa. "Characteristics of Heavy Metal Chord Structures." University
of Helsinki, 2004.
http://ethesis.helsinki.fi/julkaisut/hum/taite/lt/lilja/characte.pdf

All best,
