I was curious if you had released the sheet music for these pieces.

[DieselBodine]

@SongKing125 ~ Not at the present time, but it something I hope to do in the future. Thanks for listening. 8-)

Very Nice, have you tried working in other microtonal scales? I like 19, and 17 TET, and I also like the 22 tone indian scale. (not to be confused with 22 TET)

[DieselBodine]

@kratanuva725 ~ I've posted a 36 TET organ composition, but may try other tunings when the spirit moves me. 8-)

My ear doesn't know how to hear this yet.

Dissonance is all what music has been about for the last 700 years. And congratulations to you, if you can control your kettle so that it gives you only the pitches you want.

Amazing, haven't heard anything like this before. It's interesting but I get disorientated and dizzy listening to it. Itching at my sense of reality.

@manonfire1601 That's how I felt at first, but I think it's part of the idea of the song. It sounds very normal and twelve-toney, but there are all sorts of weird dissonances that really suck you in, and right when you least expect it, the note you think you're about to hear is just...wrong.

[manonfire1601]

It sounds more like a traditional 12-tone piece that's been tweaked to incorporate quarter tones than a legitimate 25-tone piece

[meritxell88888]

This is amazing... it sounds like the music is melting.

Hindemith made much better (and without any quarter tone frankenstein-piano ;-)
