Three Planets

A short sad piece commemorating the passing of an inspiring person, Heinz Bohlen.  It is performed on the 'Pujol', a prototype instrument which I have been developing for some time now.  It's probably premature to release a recording of it, but I feel like letting this out into the world today.  There are various minor clicks and such which shouldn't be there - it's a prototype.  You should hear the earlier ones!  Tuned to the Bohlen-Pierce narrow triad of C (1/1), F (7/5) and H (9/5).  RIP.

Threnody in a narrow triad

Testing the Pujol - the three-harp configurations used by the Ensemble to create 'triadic' sounds.  Two harps, one tuned to C-F#-H and the other to F-H#-A.  Intersecting triadic harmonics!

Approximately 16 minutes of free improvisation in the 'Vathek' mode of the Bohlen-Pierce scale.  Described by some as 'ambient'.

In honour of the birthday of Heinz Bohlen, a piece in a somewhat 'spectralist' idiom, approximately in the Bohlen-Pierce scale.  All audio derived from https://freesound.org/people/Yuval/sounds/197759// .

Ageing musician somewhat specialising in 'xenharmony' - 'exotic' tunings not much used by other people.  'Punk' too, for want of a better word...
