This work defines and investigates the properties of multiscale Riesz product measures. These are product measures constructed on general locally compact Abelian groups in a process similar to that of the original example of Riesz. The multiscale element of the construction is the use of a general homomorphism of the group in place of the dilation factor. Furthermore, this construction allows for the use of generating functions that are piecewise constant, reminiscent of a wavelet approach, as well as trigonometric polynomials, which is a more classical Fourier approach. Results obtained include the characterization of the mutual absolute continuity or singularity of such Riesz products, in the spirit of Zygmund's original dichotomy result. In addition, the differences regarding the support properties of measures based on each approach are analyzed and examples are constructed. (2000): Primary 43A05, 43A45; secondary 43A25, 43A46.
