This song is the next in my "Elements" series. It uses pure harmonic series tuning in order to create pure harmony. The scale is an octave repeating scale made of the first 64 harmonics compressed to an octave (and with redundancies removed). The use of the harmonic series leads to 7/4 being used as a minor seventh and a 9/7 supermajor triad being built on the 7/4. 25/16 is used as a minor sixth and 19/16 is used as a minor third, which leads to a 38/25 super-fifth in the "Ab" major chord. The chords have a slightly alien but still pure consonance due to the whole number ratios.
In order to evoke the theme of "light," I made use of sounds with a religious undertone, including organ, a chorus, a harp sound, and a trumpet-like sound. The image is a photograph from the beautiful Málaga Cathedral in Spain. Image source:

All sounds were made with the Zebra 2 synth by u-he.
