« minor differences » for virtual, physically-modelled, 10 metres long, microtonal piano(s) & electroacoustic sound layer (2019)

/dedicated to Olga Miriam Michałowska/


***
This piece is a study of displacement. It is an examination and investigation into degrees of "MINORITY" of a chord. It is a form of simultaneously permutated, entangled note chains (organised using a specified quantisation also undergoing its own alterations in time), an excerpt from an “endless” modulation occurring within a MINOR “hemisphere” of a soundspace determined by transition between 24-, 15-, 19- & 21-EDOs as well as my own, non-octave scale.

In « minor differences », almost everything was derived from the ratio of 13/11 – an interval of tridecimal minor third, measuring 289 ¢. The scale incorporated in the majority of the piece had been developed on the basis of the mentioned ratio of 13/11 as well. It has “too small” or "too wide" thirds, no pure fifths at all and octaves being almost pure, yet not exactly so (deviations vary between -21 ¢ and +10 ¢). This carefully calculated exertion provides slight beatings, mildly rough interference patterns and therefore gives an overall impression of an expanded space – as seen in dual intra-cavity of a two layer mirror. At the same time, those “compressed” thirds in the scale are responsible for an “endless collapse” impression of presented chord progression. The listener can realise that the harmonic charges are being resolved and transferred in several directions simultaneously, thus giving those once castellated, quantised patterns a touch of organically geometric refinement. In due course, mentioned quantisations also become intervalised; by this I mean different scale variants being entangled, superimposed and shifted, all in a specific order. As they start to modulate into one another, they contribute to building a meta-scale of presented musical material. Almost like an error that somehow happens to designate an additional dimension. Not far from a flaw; a small, unjustifiable irrationality that surprisingly reveals its carefully calculated and attentively designed essence. A factor that shifts piece's global “displacement paradigm” to another level. 

Thanks to the virtual modelling software capabilities it was possible to design and administer several “impossible” multiphonics (for ex. those with the structure of 13 and 11 partials mainly, without the even ones present at all), as well as map them further on the steps of my minor-third-oriented, non-octave scale. 10-metre-long strings applied in the virtual piano(s) used in the piece reduce the inharmonicity significantly, thus rendering the micro-intervals much clearer to one’s ear and their minor differences much more important.

Songs from the edge of somewhere. Bluesy, soulful rock with roots in folk and blues, shaped by years of traveling and chasing sound.

My debut album Strange Part of the Country earned ★★★★ from Q Magazine, a Blues Matters cover feature, and reached #3 on the U.S. Alternative Radio Chart, with airplay on BBC Radio 2, WWOZ New Orleans, and KROQ Los Angeles. Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), Marc Ribot, and Danny Thompson have all been part of the journey.

I’m now finishing a new album with Marc Ribot, Tchad Blake, and Danny Thompson — music that digs deep, raw and real.

Felipe De Vicente is a visionary of experimental electronic music, blending technology, emotion, and a wide range of styles. His sound spans genres such as house, techno, downtempo, ambient, IDM, minimal, drum and bass, drone music, etc, mainly exploring the combination of sound textures, creating immersive and dynamic soundscapes.

Felipe’s compositions explore atmospheric sounds, drones, and effects that create depth and movement. He uses synthesizers and sound manipulation to evoke introspection and energy, balancing the experimental with the accessible.

By blending fragmented rhythms with dance grooves, Felipe creates an engaging sonic experience. His beats may be asymmetric and glitchy or pulsating and hypnotic, smoothly transitioning between the abstract and the functional.

Felipe embraces silence and space, using them as active elements in his compositions, creating moments of tension and release that enhance the listening experience. This balance reflects his visual art’s aesthetic sensibility.

As a visual artist too, music and image are inseparable for Felipe. His tones translate the colors and shapes of his visual works, capturing their sonic essence. This unique connection makes each track a multimedia experience, linking the listener to a profound sensory narrative.

Influenced by electronic pioneers like Ryuichi Sakamoto, Kraftwerk, Autechre and   Alva Noto, Felipe combines tradition with innovation, inviting audiences to explore a universe where sound and image coexist in vibrant harmony. 

I create atmospheric soundtracks for indie games, blending rock, electronic, and ambient styles.

I have been involved in music as a hobby for many years. I composed, performed, and recorded music with various bands as a bass guitarist. I also worked on my own musical projects. I recently entered the gaming industry and discovered that the world of game music has its own peculiarities and is quite different from everything I did before.

I'm open to collaboration. If you're in need of a memorable soundtrack for your game, don't hesitate to get in touch with me: nikita.s.melnikov@gmail.com

Yoshimayo’s music is characterized by a dreamy, experimental, and introspective fusion, blending soft electronic sounds with acoustic and organic elements. Although he remains relatively under the radar in mainstream circuits, what makes his music unique can be described through several dimensions:

🎼 Musical Characteristics of Yoshimayo:
Delicate and deep sound textures:
He creates highly immersive atmospheres, sometimes bordering on ambient music or electronic post-rock. The sound layers evolve slowly, producing an almost cinematic effect.

Emotional minimalism:
Few elements are enough to express a great deal. His music plays with the unsaid, with space and silence, often evoking an inner poetry.

Fragile and nostalgic melodies:
Melodic lines are often simple, almost childlike, yet always tinged with subtle melancholy. They evoke memories, daydreams, or meditative states.

Organic-electronic fusion:
Yoshimayo manages to blend synthetic elements (pads, drones, glitches) with classical instruments (piano, strings, soft percussion) without sounding artificial.

DIY / artisanal aesthetic:
The production sometimes intentionally sounds "handmade," yet with great care. This brings an authenticity that contrasts with the industrial standards of electronic music.

✨ What Makes Yoshimayo Unique:
A sonic identity that is recognizable within the first few seconds, without being showy.

An ability to evoke gentle, intimate, and contemplative emotions, far from mainstream conventions.

A rejection of the spectacular, which gives his music a quiet strength.

A coherent artistic direction, often accompanied by minimalist and poetic visuals.
