i definitely meant the vertical sonority. it seems to me that two (or more)
melodic lines that have no harmonic (vertical sonority-sense) relationship
to each other do not form what people would call "counterpoint". and that
is independent of whatever definition of "harmony" you might prefer. this
is why i tend to think of it as the collision of the two disciplines, or
more poetically, the entanglement.
