Description: Electroacoustic music from Michael Baran's play 'Hitler ja Blondi' (2020)

Heti ekasta sekunnista lähtien kiinnostuin. Alku lupaa hyvää jatkoonkin.

Vau. Tämä tulee ehdottomasti sävellysoppilailleni pakolliselle kuuntelulistalle.

Saisko tätä vaikka tunnin mittaisena versiona, kiitos? :)

Three short fiddlings in three rank-2 temperaments (Maqamic, Bleu, Supra) in 17-tone equal temperament, on a DIY oil-can ukulele. Recorded with a Jez riley French contact mic and Rode NT1, processed (dynamics, reverb, EQ) in Reaper.

17edo Uke Maqamic

An Ebow (brand name for "Electric Bow" or "Energy Bow") is a small, handheld electronic device.  Normally used on guitar, these battery powered devices create an electromagnetic field that causes strings to vibrate.  When placed on the strings inside of a piano, they create a sound reminiscent of a sustained sine tone, yet can be used to create a variety of audio effects when multiple Ebows are triggering different frequencies.  

Deviations is to be performed with six Ebows color-coded red, orange, pink, green, blue, and purple.  The color of each e-bow corresponds to the color of each note on the score.  Ebows should be placed on the strings of the piano within 10 inches of the hammers.  The performer should use the fundamental setting on each Ebow, however if the tone is not being produced adequately, the harmonic setting can also be utilized.  Black notes should be played by plucking the strings inside the piano.  The tempo on the black notes is relative to the pace the performer chooses.

It's here.

To celebrate Björk's Mixmag December cover, she's recorded an exclusive studio mix.

We'll let the music speak for itself, but here's a message from Björk herself:

dearestest music-lovers !
here is a little set for you . it is most definitely flute and air themed and perhaps reveals the sonic environment my ears were in last year . i thank all the musicians . kindness , björk.

This is an (imperfect) acoustic guitar rendition of the second movement from my trio Enneadecahedron (2017), originally for trumpet, electric guitar and percussion in 19-tone equal temperament. The trio is dedicated to duo Contour, and was premiered at EUROMicrofest 2017 in Freiburg, Germany.

Electronic Music in 37-limit Just Intonation (3.5.7.11.13.23.37)

created in SuperCollider 3.9.3
April-December, 2020

dedicated to Marcus Pal

large scale modulation down a fourth ("I-V")
3:4  -->  6:8:9  -->  8:11:12

PORT (Rondo for Marcus Pal)(2020)

Physically modelled performance (NotePerformer) 
Orchestral music in 13-limit just intonation
(3.3.3.3/4.3.3.1/bd.timp.harp/strings)

N.B. The very last chord is to be played "as long and accurate as possible", with multiple asynchronous reattacks in the brass and strings (in this version, there is a simple fade out due to the limitations of physical modelling etc.)
