An example of a 21st century transition from MONOCHROMATIC music systems (combinations and contrasts of black and white with static, absolute, linear pitch and intervallic relationships) to a POLYCHROMATIC paradigm (encompassing higher-resolution, 'aural color' pitch gradation systems with dynamic, relative, nonlinear and/or linear pitch color interrelationships).

Technological advances in musical hardware and software design have enabled vast development possibilities in the creation of new musical languages that cultivate our high levels of auditory discrimination (high-resolution hearing) and nonlinear characteristics of hearing (pitch/intervallic relativity, interactive harmonics, dynamic 'shape/texture' dimensionality);

...in contrast to current music systems which compromise our highly sensitive auditory perceptual abilities within simple, low-resolution, linear musical languages.

Aural resolution: 106 pitches per octave.

A microtonal 'bridge' composition attempting to convey an overlapping aesthetic intersection between a progressive extreme of conventional concepts/practices and a conservative extreme of radical innovation. A use of conventional melodic/harmonic structures, within an expanded, 'higher resolution', microtonal context.

Presenting an example of the transient outer reaches (and starting point) of the perception/conception of an immense musical universe; just beneath the surface of complacent convention...

An increasingly comprehensive context of understanding 'Art' as an integral process in conscious evolution.

Seeking via the strengths of auditory awareness, to present new experiences, challenges and innovations from which to expand awareness. New dimensions of understanding which have been perceptually inaccessible, except through aural experience.

A process facilitated by the presentation of 'aesthetic perceptual challenges' by which to catalyze our latent capacities to experience, understand, integrate and develop Gestalt awareness.

And an ongoing struggle with presenting intuitive ideas in discursive language; within which, any attempt toward increasing expressive clarity, paradoxically becomes more abstract and difficult to understand (obscured in complexity). An expressive process in such striking distinction to a wholistic intuitive sense of dynamic, complex structure, insights and ideas existing beyond linguistic words/symbols.

... leading us back to understanding Artistic creations as expressive exemplars (hints, intimations) of elements/essences of experience that are linguistically inexpressible.

i can do the chiptunes n such. cool!

currently using JummBox for music

weird rhythms | weird chords | weird sounds
80s-90s synths

i tend to be inspired by prog, jazz fusion, 20th century classical, and a wide variety of electronic music. the most oddball variants of all those categories most preferred

most of my music is for games that either i make or other people make

chimera:ratio

I write fanfiction. I draw, badly. I am dabbling in music making. :)

Currently focused on BitterBlossoms, which you can find on AO3~!

Dieselminded drifter dodging delirium amid daunting dreamscapes.

 - wax eloquent -

Peace is enough.

Maybe I actually am just a microsound, microtonal cloud, violent noise texture.
