8:16 sounds like my clock.

@AmalgamOfMeat then you have the weirdest clock ever jajaja

A quarter-tone piano is an incredible idea, but I just don't think anyone's been able to express it's potential yet.. A drum is to a piano as a piano is to a quarter-tone piano.. Further, what good is a drummer on a piano..?

I dont need this shit, 12 tones was good enough for Beethoven and its good enough for me god dammit

@Gargantupimp That's a damn stupid comment.

[Gargantupimp]

@atb1248 Elaborate?

[atb1248]

@Gargantupimp I think you should be able to see by yourself.

I actually find this piece of music very beautiful. It has its own sound/color scape. thanks for uploading it.

Where's the point in that kind of music? Where's the pleasure? Or may be it sounds "normal" to you and "normal" music sounds weird to you?

I don't get any special feeling from these "out of tune" sounds :-(

[RodrigusVI]

It isnt "out of tone" its an expansion of the chromatic system, instead of 12 song/octave, u have 24, and think of it...

Since u were a child u got used to listen to chromatic music (12 songs/octave), what if you would have listened bichromatic music sin u were a child?

There is no reason that makes the typical system be the main one. And btw, with time u will get use to this music as much as u got used to "normal" music.

@RodrigusVI Idk, I'm skeptical of your refusal to believe in a norm. I think that music has progressed because we discovered first what was obvious to us. In the 20th and 21st century "serious" musicians departed from tonal harmony in order to explore the outskirts of music as a science. But I think we only appreciate it in context of tonal harmony or in contrast to tonal harmony. Twelve tone serialism, quarter tones, and the like, express a scanter and more esoteric range of ideas.
