Sound-In Event - Peace In Ukraine - 25-02-2022

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.

Paroxysms Of An Asphyxiating Democracy (Cryptic Ruse)

This is for Sound-In's weekly event, I haven't been able to get on one for a bit, been busy but When I heard the name of the Theme was Supermarket sounds and related noises I couldn't resist.
I was listening to some of the already done tracks and in one Bill Newbold did for Chris Vaisvil to listen to on his way around the supermarket.
So I thought I'd do one he'd like to hear but not maybe whilst walking around the Supermarket, and Halloween is getting Near. :D
Plus Supermarkets just want to control mind control you to take more money. :D

Sound-In Resistance Is Futile

" Woodwind  Color of Electronic Samples "  is my strict 12 tone row serial music composition setting of  Guillermo Romero Pintor's post of his art work. The music was realized via ReasonRecord.

“Fusion 10”  My composition for 6 noise effects ,left overs from past Kyma works, and a 12 tone row canon of fixed pitches.

Fusion10

“Fusion 11” is my sound setting of Andre Schreuder’s photo of his artwork.  The music fuses two noise drones with a strict 12 tone row for electronic string orchestra.

Fusion 11

“ Fusion 13 “ is my music composition which is a Rondo in 3 parts, ABA. A is Neo-classic; B is aleatoric - there was some improvisation. A was composed for alto sax, tenor sax, bass clarinet and trombone.
 B was for vibraphone and electronic effects via ReasonRecord. The photo was made by Gabriel Malendez.

“Study for Percussive and Vibraphone Colors”. Is my music composition realized via Kyma and Yamaha’s Motif.

1 Audio Track“Study for Percussive and Vibraphone Colors”.

Hello, I am a 12 tet and microtonal composer who works at the edge between acoustic and electronic instruments.

My art is about now and is a response to the inspiration I feel from the visual, musical, poetic, and literary art of 20th and 21st centuries as well as world events . The art of our period I think has so much to say about who we are, where we have been, and what we will, or will not be as a community – a world village – a people, a unity of souls divided by the gulf of physical being and monetary inequity but united in spirit, desires, hopes and dreams. My goal is to communicate with you and if what I do speaks to you then I as an artist I have succeeded.
