  • Ah this gives a great (ear)view, great composition Scott.

    Thank you for sharing so much with us here! I love your creativity and talents.

    Hope we will hear from you next year also... very very much! You are sensational and inspirational! And a great guy too!

    Happy New Year my friend! Roeleke

  • Thanks, Roeleke. Sorry, I haven't been around in a while.  Things have been pretty busy and I haven't been on YouTube much in the last couple weeks. Happy New Year to you! 8-)

  • Wonderful, 24tet sounds phenomenANAL!

    I like that genre. I wait the day when someone will invent the 48tet piano!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR, Maestro DieselBodine!

  • Thank-you, scaleshort. Another 24tet coming shortly. 8-)

  • Hey Scott! I know it's hard for people to understand this type of sound, we are not accustomed to it. Music is an exploration into an almost infinite soundscape.

    To me, I enjoy the more traditional harmony and melodic sounds, but I still think this genre has a place, at an evil carnival, where all the players are insane, music is suppose to make one feel something or it's meaningless.

    I enjoy this as tops for originality and UR fearless endevour! 5 stars!

  • Hello, Bro D.! Once you get used to it, it starts to make sense to the ears. Acclimatization is the first step to accustomization. LOL & 8-)

  • This stuff is peacefully creepy to my ear. Makes me visualize a clown vending balloons in an abandoned graveyard. Love it.

  • I really like your stuff. It's nice that you seem to be on the orderly side of the microtonal realm. It's really difficult sometimes to understand the music of composers like Harry Partch etc. because a lot of times it just seems (though it most assuredly is not) disorganized and random. With your music it seems to be very orderly and thought out, and as a person relatively new to the quarter-tone scene it makes for an easier transition to a new way of listening. Thanks! Keep 'em coming!

  • great music :D. i liked 1:46 most :) sounds kinda scary !!

  • i....love.....this.

  • I think Pink Floyd should have included something like this in their music... It sounds unusual but still musical. This is amazing. I didn't know music beyond semitones could sound so good.

  • wonderful! thank you so much for having done this :)

  • brilliant. 

  • En fait c'est à France musique dans le mot du jour de Pierre Charvet que j'ai entendu parler de musique micro tonale .

    j'ai voulu en savoir plus et d'abord voir et entendre sur Youtube .

    Formidablement intéressant . Bravo !

    Je vois sur la photo qu'il ,y a 3 claviers superposés et aucuns apparemment ne possède la même proportion de noires et de blanches .

    pouvez vous nous en dire plus ...

    Est ce un piano qui a été préparé ?

  • do you make those musics by editing 12 semitonal scale composition, or do you actually play the 24 microtonal piano?

  • classical music as quarter tone

  • Suena horrible!!!
