The Harvest Manual, 2 is a work written on the occasion of the Enharmonic Interfaces and Controllers for Keyboard Instruments Conference in Graz, Austria. This is the second work in the series which utilizes keyboard instruments with expanded key systems which enable unique temperaments—in this case a 17-tone meantone temperament with a variety of split semitone keys. The work is focused on small interval variations between sonorities and utilizes colorful organ registration to exploit the pitch complexity in the interaction of timbre and temperament. The work was created for Zeitschleife and Organon Graz.
