It is a bit out of tune, isn’t it? 😵‍💫

A House is No Home

r#1 is a duo for percussions and electronics. This is the first piece of a series I am currently writing which explores microtonality in various ways. I'm working on this project with percussionist Ruben Orio. 
In r#1, the use of just intervals between the bass and "melody" played by the electronics results in a gradual drift of the tuning reference. The percussion part is written for a DIY microtonal glockenspiel tuned in 36EDO (and a few small objects). It interweaves with the electronic sounds by approximating their floating pitches.
The electronic part is written for a custom instrument patched in Max/MSP and played live on 2 akaï MPK mini controllers and one expression pedal.
r#1 is a lullaby. It drifts just like the mind when sleep takes over.
