We must now look beyond the framework of ‘Tonal Atonality’ and examine *Agartha* in the context of contemporary academic music as a whole — Ligeti, Grise, Mur;n, Saariaho, Denisov, Boulez, Lachenmann, R;dulescu, etc. In other words: not ‘how Agartha is structured’, but to what extent it is unique amongst works of the same calibre.
And we shall do this along several key axes.



‘AGARTHA – AT THE CROSSROADS OF THE CENTURIES’ IN THE CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY CLASSICAL MUSIC



1. BASIC PRINCIPLE: THE GENOME AS THE PRIMARY CRITERION
FOR COMPARISON


In Kazarin’s work:

• the foundation of the piece is two minor seconds,
• genome; motif; sprout; melody; enlightenment; pure genome,
• form = the biography of the interval,
• the world = the unfolding of the genome into fields, time, topology and gravity.


For most other composers of the same calibre:

• the foundation is either thematic material, a spectral series, a serial structure, the morphology of texture, a process [minimalism], or a concept [formula, text, gesture].

That is to say:

• for Ligeti — the morphology of micro-polyphony,
• for Grisey — spectral evolution,
• for Boulez — serial hierarchy,
• for Saariaho — colour and texture,
• for Lachenmann — gesture and noise,
• for Radulescu — spectral fields.


The uniqueness of ‘Agartha’ lies in the fact that it is built not on a theme, not on a spectrum, not on a series, not on a process, but on the interval as an ontological genome. There is virtually no precedent for such a principle in global musical practice.



2. CENTRE AND GRAVITY: DUAL TONIC &
POST-TONALITY


According to Kazarin:

• there is a centre, but it is dual: acoustic [low registers, supports, the voltorna, the flute], parametric [fields, densities, textural bodies],
• gravity is not functional but ontological: it draws not towards tonality but towards the stability of the world,
• tonality arises as a derivative of the genome, rather than as an initial system.


In the works of others:

• for post-tonalists — there is no centre at all,
• for spectralism — the centre = the foundation of the spectrum, but there is only one,
• for Ligeti — the centre = morphological density, but not acoustic,
• for Saariaho — the centre = colour, but not gravity,
• for minimalists — the centre = process, but not stability.


The uniqueness of ‘Agartha’ lies in the fact that it combines atonality, post-tonality, spectralism and tonality, not as an eclectic mix, but as a dual gravity emerging from the genome. This is found nowhere else: tonality as a derivative of an interval within an atonal world is highly specific.



3. FORM: THE ENTROPIC ARC & TRADITIONALISM AND POST-TRADITIONALISM


According to Kazarin:

• form = an entropic energy arc: the birth of the world; growth; overload; decay; rebirth; enlightenment; the return of the genome,
• the culmination of form; the culmination of the genome,
• the finale — not a ‘resolution’, but a return to the source code.


For others:

• for Ligeti — form = morphological evolution [e.g. ‘Atmosph;res’],
• for Grisey — form = spectral evolution,
• for Boulez — form = serial hierarchy,
• for Saariaho — form = an arc of timbre and texture,
• for the minimalists — form = process [phase, shift, accumulation].


The uniqueness of ‘Agartha’: form is not merely an ‘arc’, but the life of an interval, where the finale is a pure genome, rather than a ‘coda’ or ‘fade’. This is closer to a philosophical construct than to a musical one.




4. FIELDS AND TEXTURE: ONTOLOGICAL FIELDS &
TEXTURALITY


In Kazarin’s work:

• the layer field, the flow field, the cloud field, the grain field and the memory field are ontological categories,
• texture = the body of the world, rather than ‘orchestration’,
• fields are linked to the genome and time.


In the work of others:

• in Ligeti — textures, micro-polyphony, clusters,
• in Grise — spectral fields,
• in Saariaho — colour and noise fields,
• in Lachenmann — gestural fields.


The uniqueness of ‘Agartha’: fields are not merely ‘soundscapes’, but structures of being described in TA. This is not merely an ‘interesting texture’, but an ontology, which is absent from conventional theory.



5. TIME: MULTITEMPORALITY & LINEARITY AND
PROCESS


According to Kazarin:
By the author’s definition, time is the duration of natural eventfulness in the world of Yavi.

• time as a layer, time as a flow, time as a cloud, time as a spiral [loop], time as a branching,
• time = a parameter of the world, not merely duration,
• the genome shapes all types of time.


According to others:

• for the minimalists — time = process,
• for Ligeti — time = staticity + micro-movement,
• for Grise — time = spectral evolution,
• for Boulez — time = serial structure.


The uniqueness of ‘Agartha’: time does not ‘flow’, but is the simultaneous manifestation of the qualities of various natural states, and this is linked to the interval. This is very far removed from traditional and post-traditional forms.



CONCLUSION:
HOW ‘AGARTHA’ DIFFERES FROM OTHER WORKS
OF THE SAME CALIBRE


To put it as plainly as possible:

• none of the major composers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries has a work in which:

• the foundation is the ‘genome’ interval,
• form = the life of this interval,
• the centre = dual gravity,
• fields, time, topology = ontological categories,
• the finale = a return to the genome.

Ligeti, Grisey, Boulez, Saariaho, Lachenmann and R;dulescu all have their own unique systems, but none of them constructs a world out of the interval as an ontological genome.



In this sense, ‘Agartha’ truly:

• stands outside conventional classifications,
• is closer to a philosophical model of the world than to a ‘work in the style of X’
• and its uniqueness becomes particularly evident when viewed not only through TA, but also through the entire corpus of contemporary music.
