PI24 Microtonal Music

[grizzlytomahawk]

I dig the striking, other-worldy sounds you can achieve with microtonal music, but are there any microtonal music that used equal temperament between intervals or does it confine to a specific scale pattern.

[ExcelLied]

@grizzlytomahawk You can use tempered or non tempered scales, depends on your likings and the capabilitties of your hardware, this sinthetizer can divide the octave in 1000 parts I think, so you can make your scale however you like within that constriction.

[GameMusicCompilation]

it sounds awful

[ExcelLied]

@GameMusicCompilation It might for well-tempered ears xD

[Bflatest]

great for a horror flick about a psycho circus

[ExcelLied]

@Bflatest Sure could fit.

[dasmikey1964]

Beautiful piece, nicely organized. Bravo!

[ExcelLied]

@dasmikey1964 Thanks

[ettmargarin]

I hope i liked it too.

So an 'octave' interval denotes a frequency change proportional to pi, so that

f * pi ^ ( t / 24 ) is the frequency that is t tones away from frequency f using equal temperament?

[aurinkona]

pi is a fairly boring transcendental number.

[mike6789k]

that's nuts man, what do you call each of the "letters" now? i want to see the sheet music!!

[ExcelLied]

@mike6789k Jeje, you would probably get a little disappointed. Since we play in a synthesizer, we just write the notes that represent the key to be pushed, If you want to see some weird sheets, look for Karlheinz Stockhausen

[SlapmybassRicky]

@mike6789k It's the same note letters, just the signs are reversed. Like, an aflat would have a backwards flat sign and it is called an "A quarter flat". :)

[JustStoked]

I havent the foggiest idea how I got to this vid.

Coincidentally, I happen to be somewhat of a half-educated musician and I would have never in my life thought of composition based on these grounds.

Wicked futuristic.

[BrokenDash4]

This is incredibly dissonant. This really puts someone on the brink of being repulsed or attracted by the music.

GRANDE GRANDE BRAVO!

[ExcelLied]

Gracias

[kugelschreiber09]

nice man! if i may ask, in what way u used the "pi"?

[ExcelLied]

Common music is written by dividing the octave in 12 parts. The octave is represented by 2, Instead of dividing the 2 (octave) in twelve parts, i divided a bigger interval (3.141596) in twenty four parts.

[PeeteyP]

@ExcelLied so, going up 24 keys gives a note that's 3.141596 times the root frequency?

sounds good.

[ExcelLied]

@PeeteyP Aproximately yes, due to synthesizer restrictions it is not entirely accurate, but very near though.

[emarrufo2002]

Exelente. Es la primer composicion que escucho que esta entonada.

[ExcelLied]

Gracias.

Los invito a la nueva web de microtonalismo:

Tambien hay musica y videos de microtonalismo a todo dar.

Gran concierto ese día fue muy original dividir pi felicidades por tu composición Miguel Saludos Lupita

[ExcelLied]

Muchas gracias. Ojalá y alguien tenga un grabación del concierto completo. Muchos saludos y nos vemos en el conser.

[Laudesi82]

Obra presentada en el Conservatorio Nacional de Musica, Mexico D.F. dentro del recital del taller de composicion microtonal de la clase de Acustica a mi cargo. Felicidades, Miguel. Jesus Bernal.

[ExcelLied]

Pues muchas gracias, que gracias a usted conocí el mundo microtonal, y claro, gracias por enseñarme a hacerlo y darnos la oportunidad de presentarlo.

[Laudesi82]

¿Grabaste el resto del concierto?

[ExcelLied]

Lamentablemente no, no alcanzaba la cinta.

[nonoctave]

Cool! This is definitely the first piece I have heard in 24th root of π (82.575 cent equal temperament). Nothing close to a fifth or an octave and thus really xenharmonic. Good 11/10 and 15/13 and of course 9/4, hm interesting to play with... neat tuning.

[ExcelLied]

O wow, It's good to hear that from someone that enyoys microtonal music. It's a shame I have no synthesizer to keep playing. Maybe one day. Thank you.
