Icarus's Dream

Four tracks of freeform exploration of 27edo guitar, ranging from doom metal to delicate post-rock. 27edo (27 equal divisions of the octave) is a fascinating tuning--it approximates harmonics 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15 with accuracy ranging from excellent to acceptable, but all SHARP, so that intervals that occur between the harmonics are approximated with significantly more accuracy than the harmonics themselves.

It also has the advantage of tempering out some very useful commas. Tempering out 64/63 allows the harmonic 7th (7/4) to be divided into two perfect 4ths (4/3), much like EDOs 5, 17, and 22. Tempering out 144/143 equates the 11-limit neutral 3rd (11/9) with the 13-limit neutral 3rd (16/13), as well as the 11-limit neutral 2nd (12/11) with the 13-limit neutral 2nd (13/12), connecting ratios of 11 with ratios of 13 in a very intuitive way--much like EDOs 17, 24, and 31. Tempering out 128/125 means three 5-limit major 3rds (5/4) equal one octave (2/1), which simplifies the relationships between many 5-limit intervals--much like EDOs 12, 15, and 21. Tempering out 169/168 as well as 196/195 (and the aforementioned 144/143) makes the intervals 12/11, 13/12, 14/13, and 15/14 all the same size--133.33 cents, in this case, such that harmonics 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 are spaced equally, 3 edo-steps apart...much like EDOs 10, 19, and 36.

What does this math mean to a musician? Simple: 27edo has a broad pallet of harmonic resources, and it's not too difficult to find chords that sound smooth and strong, and it's easy to connect one to another via simple scale structures. Despite its large size, I find it surprisingly intuitive, and recorded everything here without giving a lot of thought to what I was playing.

Day 25 of 31 days of new works in just intonation:

Channeling my inner Nancarrow, Day 25 is a player piano style work. The first section is in a 7-limit whole tone scale—each note has 2-3 different ratios—and the second section is made out of the same 23-limit tone cluster that I used back in Day 23.

Warm Sleeper

I would like my dreams to mean something, something…
Inspiring timeless art within my wasting head, the perfect scene…
But without my conscious will, my brain is truly fickle
Yielding no constructive weight in this deterministic tickle
I don’t want to go to sleep! I don’t wanna!

I will be mature enough to leave the comfortable bath
My eternity of make-believe training gives light to my path
To put on clothes without closed eyes!

Why make mountains out of molehills,
When we are all ants,
And the universe is billions of lights,
And billions of light years,
And trillions of years will defeat all fears.
Dissipating into the void, equalized in death!
I don’t want to go to sleep! I don’t wanna go!

Oh, but I’ll have to go to sleep…
Every day is 24 hours and that’s the way it keeps!
I don’t want to go to sleep! Not right now, not right now!

How long would you have to be awake
before the world would make no sense
Your joys and hopes and urge to dwell
Why, Wormwood, this would all be quelled
Dulled, dead, doornail, polished stars of night!
Night, Night, Night, Night, Night, Night... 

(Interlude)

All shower songs I sing are wasted breath and water,
Made a heathen anthem sinking and lowered into the drain,
Pain is relative but I am real,
I do not believe in me anymore...

Dreams have told me I may live
Through the portal of death’s door
Mortal as we may seem
Seizing according scream
Freezing our thinking love in a sunbeam

(Small instrumental)

I would like my dreams to mean something, something…
something… something… something… something… something…
My last, my last dreamscape rolling on
always nonsense, distant watchman
Nightmare spirits vanishing
Smoke and mirrors ‘flect forgetting!

November 17, 1998:
"My story begins when it was nighttime, I had a dream. It was not a happy dream but it was a nightmare. My pillow changed its picture. My sheet's colors looked new. And the eating gorilla came out of my pillow. It was very, very, very, very, very, very, very scary. It started to eat my head while I was laying on it. I felt so scared that I am frightened. Um, and he cooled my head down and then his mouth ate it. But it was just a quick pretend dream. Then I said, 'Nightmare!' and then my mom ran upstairs and I woke her up in the middle of the night. Um, when the dream was over, it wasn't scary anymore. I was very scared last time. And then I promised next time I wouldn't wake her up. And that's all of my story."
