Lyrics:
take off the smile from your face and
make sure the one that you're making 
tells me all about the things that you can care about
Face off against every naysay, shake off the feelings of mainstay
chronically you are also making me feel like I can turn grey
 
I see myself as the nothing, pass by and turn into coffee
Don't laugh the concept is blotchy, and I find it's smarter anyways
tack on, just fake your demeanor, against the vanity bleeder, 
wake up I guess you're a dreamer and I think you're just dreaming it away

laugh at the faces of evil, turns out the mirror's revealed, 
turns out the faces are real and it looks like they all are the same 
I cannot turn any corner, or can I burn any order, 
I guess I can be a mourner, maybe cause my soul has burned away
 
how can you know? I guess the records show
that you don't know, That we don't know. oh.

Dreaming about the 8-Bit Man

In this set of listening examples, common practice works have been retuned to exotic tunings in which the relative structure of the diatonic scale is always preserved, so that it always takes the form of LLsLLLs (for "Large step" and "small step," respectively). The perfect fifth, which generates the scale, is allowed to vary from as flat as 7-EDO, where the diatonic scale is a perfectly evened-out "neutral" diatonic scale, to as sharp as 5-EDO, where the half step becomes so small that it vanishes, leaving a perfectly evened-out pentatonic scale.

The chosen spectrum of tunings is such that diatonic interval categories such as the "major third" may, at times, approximate different intervals from the harmonic series than they normally would in 12 equal temperament, just as long as the LLsLLLs scale pattern is consistently present in the tuning. These experiments aim to explore the properties of the "categorical perception" effect, and to see to what extent it exists and interrelates with the missing fundamental phenomenon and other psychoacoustic effects.

The "artwork" for this compilation describes the tunings used, and the properties of each one; click "Download Artwork" to view it.

In this particular set, the chosen composition is Bach's Fugue in C Major (BWV952).

Bach - Fugue in C Major (BWV952) - 17-EDO

Small pastiche of some music from the Etrian Odyssey series (wonderfully composed by the great Yuzo Koshiro).

Also, I recently hit 1K followers, and this is incredible! I can't believe that so many people listened/are still listening to my music, and I'm very very grateful to every person who decided to give a listen to my work. I'll do my best to get better at music!

so look around
this will die down without a sound

hope u enjoy the song <3

Without A Sound

Pencil Beat

This is mostly goofy experimental music theory stuff to see how different microtonal scales sound - no real musical compositions here (yet)
