I am looking for an open source app I can use on my phone or tablet with which I can tune to specific microtonal scales so I can play microtonal music, primarily Turkish makamsal müziği.

Any hints?

Quelques souvenirs de la semaine passée au 104, c’était trop génial :

*j’ai bien avancé sur mon installation avec 5 amplis
*enregistré de la nouvelle musique
*fait une sortie de résidence pour l’équipe du lieu et une autre pour les amis
*filmé en live avec le poto @dimo.waw (il a pris les photos aussi)
*j’ai enfin compris ce que je voulais faire avec mon install’

Vivement la suite 🙃

Treat yourself to warm Ottoman microtones!

I think there's a drum machine but everything else is golden, especially the singing.

Turkish friends had us over for Iftar last night. I think they know all of these songs.

I just posted an essay on Turkish music tetrachords, which are the basis for Makam theory. My experience is that resources on the internet usually try to explain Middle Eastern makams without first explaining their building blocks, and it doesn't work.

This should carry over to Arabic mostly, but It thought it best to focus on one.

It was going to be a blog post but turned into LaTeX.

#Makam #MiddleEast

There's one Middle Eastern makam (more than a scale, "like a song partly written") that I find can be evoked with just a few initial notes, and draws out further exploration.

So, I've done that: written just a few notes to spur more. Musicians, I invite/challenge you to check it out to see what it draws out in you.

If you're a musician, have you stopped to consider that the human voice is a fretless instrument?

I'm really enjoying playing Turkish music on the 'oud/ud and violin. It sounds hard but shading the pitch of certain notes is actually fun, like bending a blue note in blues.

(Meanwhile I shade the pitch of all the other notes unintentionally.)

In case anyone wants to learn the basics of Middle Eastern music, I've posted a blog here:

There are lots of resources online but most of it doesn't explain the foundational ideas well, which is what I'm trying to do.
