According to David Cope, "micropolyphony resembles cluster chords, but differs in its use of moving rather than static lines"; it is "a simultaneity of different lines, rhythms, and timbres". Example with two choirs: loopyc, torstenanders, Stephane Boussuge and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
