Fuck, dude. I was looking for microtonal music and I was NOT warned before watching this that I needed to smoke pot. :( I am disappointed. You need a disclaimer.
Love this improv and the tabla. Thanks for the complement on my daughters singing. She'll appreciate that as she's on a real low (even when she was singing it).
In response to some of the comments here, scientist say there are about 127 notes in the octave. Eastern music makes use of some of these notes. A fretless bass is the ideal instrument to play eastern music, as you can facilitate any of these micro-tones. The Sitar allows you to get any of these notes.
I love it! I've started to appriciate microtonal music, but I found it sad that all of these songs were all so weird, strange, mystic, alien almost. You've showed me that there are all kinds of genres of music that can be made with microtones, which is cool! If more people would start experimenting with microtones, who knows, maybe one day a hit pop song will be written in microtones!
Sounds really great, almost sitar like. Good playing :) It's not actually micro tones though is it? Each 'fret' space sounds too far apart to be microtones. Maybe I'm just being stupid :D
@TheModCon Microtonal music is really anything that uses pitches other than the 12-tone equal tempered ones. So if you go from, say, a C to a slightly sharp D, even though the interval might have been 223 cents, it's still "micotonal" because the new pitch is 37 cents from the equal tempered pitch.
I am desperately trying to figure out how to hear what 350 hertz sounds like. On Saturday a group I'm playing with must be able to tune such that we are playing a piece that is in F half flat, or 350 hertz. Can you help? I'll check back here. Thanks!

They definitely do exit Symphonion. :) Have a look at "maqamworld (dot) com (slash) maqamat.html" it explains a lot about the use of microtones in scales used in Arabic music.
Impressive! I have seen quite a few people use microtones with varying results, but you actually make them blend in nicely/natural with the rest of the music. I wonder if there exist Arabian scales with microtones embedded (?)
