'ELECTRIFIED'

'Sphere'

This is a justly intoned arrangement of Chopin's Etude in C Major (Opus 10, No. 1), the first Etude of his series of Etudes which demonstrated his new piano performance techniques.

Although Etudes are usually technical exercises, Chopin's are special since they are immensely listenable with intricate harmonies.

I have retuned Chopin's harmony to have much more than 12 notes to the scale. More to come (hopefully soon!) about the notes which have been used. Concisely, the major and minor triads and sevenths have almost everywhere been preserved, and Chopin's use of sequences leads the harmony down very interesting and long paths in the 7-limit tonal lattice. A couple of jarring transitions are where the harmony jumps up by a syntonic comma (or 7-limit comma). As always, 11th and 13th harmonics are smuggled in, in some of the diminished chords near the end.

Enjoy!

Dave

Exploding into the spotlight again on Ultra Music this Friday, October 9th comes a brand new collaboration from two ever rising presences - Helena Legend and Taylr Renee. This latest release comes as HELENA rebrands to Helena Legend - signaling her growth as an artist and her constantly evolving brand.

‘Wake Up’ features the sweet but emotionally charged lyrics of singer/songwriter Taylr Renee. Responsible for writing some of the biggest tracks of the last few years, ‘Wake Up’ is yet again another of her memorable hit compositions.

Renee’s charismatic vocals are instantly recognizable over Helena’s strong melodic progressive/electro beats. With striking build ups and energetically filled drops, festivals and clubs alike will be sure to wake up to this monster of a track.

‘Wake Up’ is an incredibly powerful single from LA based Helena Legend & Taylr Renee, it couldn’t be a more fitting soundtrack to further their ascension as two of dance music’s powerhouse forces. ‘Wake Up’ is available now on Beatport and on October 23rd on iTunes, Spotify and Apple Music.

Helena Legend & Taylr Renee  - Wake Up

This track is an example of a simple twelve bar backing track accompanying 3-note block harmony written in free Just Intonation (JI) with added sliding chords.

For example, one transition used is between a major triad 1st inversion (5 6 8) to a major triad root position (4 5 6), with 1 and then 2 different intermediate chords on the 1st and 2nd repetitions respectively:

1 intermediate chord on 1st repetition:
16   14   12
12   11   10
10    9     8

2 intermediate chords on 2nd repetition:
24   22   20   18
18   17   16   15
15   14   13   12

You could call these types of transition a ‘linear step’ since the frequencies of each note in the harmony undergo linear steps from the starting point to the end point. They are otonal, operating on the upper harmonics (the set of whole-number N, as opposed to utonal which operate on 1/N).

These types of transitions give access to higher prime numbers such as 11, 13, 17 in the examples above. In Just Intonation, hearing the higher prime numbers is the coolest thing of all and I fully anticipate this being as interesting and widespread a hobby as trainspotting or stamp collecting in the decades ahead. Imagine listening to all the prime numbers between 1 and 500! The sheer joy!! No doubt this type of thing will have a high frequency in the future.

If prime numbers wasn’t enough, some chords undergo continuous linear slides instead of linear steps. In the track icon, it is a screenshot of the spectrogram of this track, and a linear step looks like a ladder, but a linear slide looks like a slope of constant gradient. The great thing about a linear slide is that at any rational point during the slide, the notes are in a whole number ratio, but that ratio is changing constantly. So I guess it counts as some kind of extension of Just Intonation.

May your musical listening frequently slide into Just Intonation :) Dave
