"Xenharmonix" uses a wide range of tuning systems based on various mathematical concepts, in order to give one access to sets of frequencies not easily available on "normal" fretted or keyed instruments. I experiment with various types of Just Intonation, Pythagorean, Gamelan, 31-Tone Equal, 19-Tone Equal, Meantone Systems, Hindustani, Arabic, Subharmonic, Enharmonic, etc. Each has it's own flavor and characteristics that make it unique. All of the music here is improvised and recorded in one take. No mixing, mastering, or editing. Everything is recorded using Omnisphere in 432hz and utilizes some type of Xenharmonic or Microtonal system as well. Enjoy!
