Interharmonisk

Interharmonisk is a term used in music theory to describe the relationship between notes that are not part of the same traditional harmonic series or diatonic scale. It refers to intervals and chords that create a sense of dissonance or tension by deviating from expected tonal resolutions. While traditional harmony focuses on consonant intervals and predictable progressions, interharmonic elements introduce unexpected colorations and sonic textures.

These sounds can arise from various sources, including microtonal music, complex chords with added non-diatonic tones, or the result of specific acoustic phenomena like sympathetic vibration. Composers often employ interharmonic elements to evoke specific emotions, create ambiguity, or explore new sonic landscapes. The perception and acceptance of interharmonic sounds can vary depending on cultural context and individual listening experiences. Understanding interharmonic relationships is crucial for analyzing and composing music that moves beyond conventional harmonic frameworks.
