Sunshine Synth

Another "study" for a Csound bell instrument I developed.

In the true spirit of ambient, to paraphrase Brian Eno, you can put this on in the background and let it be wallpaper, but if you end up paying attention, your attention will be rewarded.

Bell Study #2 (excerpt)

This work was written for enjoying the drive down Mount Lemmon in Tucson.

Daydream

This is a kind of electronic harpsichord/clavichord performance of an original composition, a Bulgarian Kopanitsa dance. The dance is in a rapid 11/8 time signature.

Chord sequence exploring the flavors of the decatonic major scale in 22 EDO discovered and described by Paul Erlich. [Edited to add: The temperament is called "pajara", and it was discovered independently by Erlich and Gene Ward Smith.] It's mellow, just chords. This is the scale in cents, along with 22 EDO sagittal notation:

 0:          1/1           C
 1:        109.091 cents   C||\    D!!/
 2:        218.182 cents   D
 3:        381.818 cents   D/||\   E\!
 4:        490.909 cents   F
 5:        600.000 cents   F||\    G!!/
 6:        709.091 cents   G
 7:        872.727 cents   G/||\   A\!
 8:        981.818 cents   A/|     B\!!/
 9:       1090.909 cents   A/||\   B\!

A Norwegian tune, but a Welsh song, about the sea and the yearning to go to sea. Here as a violin duet.

Llongau Caernarfon/Caernarfon Harbour

Ensemble Scala at MicroFest Amsterdam 2019: Ere Lievonen and Ivan Pavlov, Fokker (31-tone) organ; Stefan Gerritsen, 31-tone electric guitar; Raymond Honing, flute; Michel Marang, clarinet; Manuel Visser, viola; Mervyn Groot, drums and percussion.
The tuning system is 31 equal divisions of the octave. With the exception of the section that begins at 11'18", the music is written in the temperament whose scales are generated by the 11-step interval, 425.8¢, ie. ~9/7, 'Skwares', used as a 13-limit system with no intervals of 5.
Marche funèbre tricésimoprimale was commissioned by Ensemble Scala. It was written in 2017 and premiered in Amsterdam in 2018.
This performance was recorded live on the 1st of December, 2019, at the Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, Amsterdam

Marche funèbre tricésimoprimale

Interested in lots of different kinds of music. Compositions of my own are usually microtonal experiments, often in a pseudo-classical style.
