Otonality and Utonality are terms introduced by Harry Partch to describe chords whose notes are the overtones (multiples) or "undertones" (divisors) of a given fixed tone. For example: 1/1, 2/1, 3/1,... or 1/1, 1/2, 1/3,.... An Otonality is a collection of pitches which can be expressed in ratios, expressing their relationship to the fixed tone, that have equal denominators. For example, 1/1, 5/4, and 3/2 (just major chord) form an Otonality because they can be written as 4/4, 5/4, 6/4. Every Otonality is therefore part of the harmonic series. Similarly, the ratios of an Utonality share the sa...
