Sixth-tone Organ Prelude No. 1

[grampskvideo]

LOVE the video!

[Xezlec]

Most microtone or modern fine-arts-department music just makes you want to claw your ears out, but this is... oddly not quite so horrible. Actually kind of musical... sort of. That's an achievement!

[PutItAway101]

@Xezlec He's made good rhythmic use of some unlistenable tonal material. The structure of it and the way one part leads into the next draws you through the swamp of out-of-tune noise

[martinadler73]

Wonderful!

[gerardbedecarter]

Wow!

[OrganNLou]

Listen to the Enharmonic organ if you get a chance and the compositions of H.A. Stamm

[Wonderer861a]

I absolutely love the ending. Brilliant.

[PolyphonicTheory]

Wow! What a wonderful composition. This is the first microtonal piece I've heard that I have gotten stuck in my head. It's brilliant how you are able to compose using the microtones as chords and intervals instead of solely as a chromatic effect, as I have often heard. I'm still in awe that I have part of this song stuck in my mind, and that I can remember to myself how the sub-tones sound. Also love your kaleidoscope windows. :) Keep it up! Can't wait to listen to your other pieces!

[PoopShitMario]

I look forward to your other Organ Preludes, DieselBodine :)

@esteban3527343 Amen dude, I don't get it, we don't use all twelve notes on the piano for a composition all the time, they're introduced as tension and release, and I have to say that alot of people are using microtonal tension constantly making it sound creepy or stupid. Scotts aren't bad, but I want to see something happy or sad not scary, that's all i'm saying. - _-

[ElPayasoMalo]

This reminds me of an even crazier and more evil-sounding version of that track from Ghostbusters that plays whenever they show the monster dogs.

[DrMangrove]

This was actually the highlight of my day, I'm a massive fan of the kaleidoscope windows.

[kratanuva725]

The into to this is so disturbing, I love it!

I wonder if horror films use any microtonality...

[YoYoHall]

The faces I made at the beginning of this were filled with downright disgust. It'll take a lot of time to get used to this, but it sounds AWESOME.

[Dilutivity]

Nice eerie sound.

Do you like baseball by any chance? Because I think it would be a blast if you made a microtonal arrangement of "Take me out to the ballgame".

[tyndarius]

i liked the intersting background. i could deffinately see this in a video game.

[mwest1234]

Hi Scott. Have been out of the loop for quite a while, but I enjoyed this video and thought I would let you know. Always found your experimental music fascinating. Very thoughtful.

[RodrigusVI]

great :)

[DieselBodine]

Thank-you, RodrigusVI. 8-)

[fehquig]

It sounds so mean and creepy... I love it!

[DieselBodine]

Thanks, fehqug. Sounds for the Halloween Season. XD

[suuzzee5]

My god, Diesel! I started looking in the closets and under the bed while this was playing. Talk about the POWER of music! This piece created great unease within me. It's a truly good piece of music. I think I like this stuff. :) and xx

[DieselBodine]

Hello, Suze. I've enjoyed experimenting with the alternative Tuning Systems and look forward to more experimentation.

[TheAist]

this would be good in a sci-fi movie. it kinda reminded me of Logan's Run in Carosel

[DieselBodine]

Hello, TheAist. I'd love to hear some Microtonal Music in movies.

[Basso9x13]

I gave you 5 stars on curiosity and faith - YT has been exceptionally buggy for me lately - every other video refuses to load, and yours being odd, well.... I hope to get back to hear this tomorrow.

[DieselBodine]

Hello, Robert. Got 2 notes between each note for the tuning this time.  Should play some tricks with your sensibilities.

[Basso9x13]

Oh, WOW! Opening motif set my teeth on edge. 1st thing I though of was a reel-to-reel with a bad pinch roller.

;-)

Sounds very alien - but that's a good thing! Definitely sets an eerie mood!

Don Notts nightmare. (the Ghost and mr chicken)

just pop in my head . had to smash it out on the keyboard for you. hehehe

Sweet Peace Scott =)

Enjoyed

[DieselBodine]

Spooky Pipe Organ for Chickens. What a thought, Mark. XD

[Hobble]

So good. I play fretless bass and I've begun studying the 72-tone equal temperament. This is really inspiring.

[DieselBodine]

Thanks, Hobble. Acceptance of Microtonality by more people cannot be achieved without Composers composing for it and getting it out to curious ears. Acceptance comes from familiarity. Glad you are onboard for the undertaking. 8-)

[DieselBodine]

Thank-you, Accisma. For the sake of my video viewers' ears who aren't accustomed to Microtonality, I'll be mixing it in amongst the various other things I do musically. I only hope to expose this alternatively tuned music to new willing listeners and not necessarily lose listeners by being too aurally unaccessible all the time to those that can't relate. I do enjoy it alot though and I'm glad you do, too. 8-)

[NinaLuvsFriedChicken]

Just in time for halloween!! great! x

[DieselBodine]

It is kind of a Halloween piece, Nina. Those "in-between" notes and the power of a Pipe Organ work towards that unsettling effect. 8-)

[L5player]

Sounds perfect. Perfectly hideous. Oh, wait. I get it: It's "art." Right? Include me out. Your more "normal" stuff is far better. Stick to playing guitar well, which you do.

[DieselBodine]

Hello L5player. I like being adventurous. Just think how much of the music of the last 100 years would've been frowned upon by people of prior Centuries. Music is like food. The first time I ate Eggplant and Okra, I didn't think I liked it. Our ears are trained from birth to accept the tuning we normally use in music. Yet this tuning was conceived relatively recently considering music has been played for Millennia. I do understand your consternation though. Glad you like my Guitar playing. 8-)

[pathfinderdaddy]

Sounds like the soundtrack of my old lady bitchin' me out for coming home at 7:30 am and me trying to bluff my way out of it by telling her I was abducted by aliens. "That's the third time this month!" It was really the 4th but I'm not about to tell her. A friend told me that certain chords were banned by the almighty Vatican at one time. Playing a sixth tone would have gotten you impaled. But seriously folks,it was technically a perfect sixth tone expression. The stained glass was cool too.

[DieselBodine]

I quite enjoyed your Comment, pathfinderdaddy. 8-)
