3rd Hall of Twilight 7

I made a plugin for REAPER that can gradually transform a scale by changing the size of its generator. The size of the perfect 5th starts at 690c and ends at 713c. This is just a silly example but I have big plans for making crazy EDM and chiptune with this technique applied to other microtonal scales.

Maple Leaf Rag morph scale tuning 690c To 713c

Rainy Tuesdays (a capella demo)

Little whole-tonish improv (second time through slightly processed) using samples from Kevin Hobby & William Sethares' nifty Hyperpiano.

Hyperthing

Semaphore[9] in 19-EDO

The scale is a chain of half-fourths. Here the melody always is a 5-note subset of the full scale to match the underlying chord.

The lyrics are actually in English but not intended to be easily intelligible.

Sounds from:
None other than the legendary vocaloid Kagamine Rin
DSI Prophet 6
DSI/RL Tempest
