Oh, wow, hier beschreibt User "arieldiaz3105", dass diese mikrotonale Musik bei ADHD/ADHS helfen würde:
"Im a living proof that this actually helps a lot for ADHD, is a great stimulous for the brain to use the extra mind energy and be able to concentrate in another tasks"

Und ja, es klingt außergewöhnlich, wie "nicht von dieser Welt", aber absolut exzellent!

Was macht dieser Sound mit Dir?

Lässt Du Dich darauf ein, sehr ungewöhnlichen Klängen zu lauschen?

Und ich meine: SEHR ungewöhnlich! ;)

Outkast's Hey Ya in 31TET, at half-speed and ambient? In this video Levi McClain talks about his compositional approach, including some great insights into #Microtonal #MusicTheory.
Personally I'm not too familiar with 31TET, preferring 36 or 53TET, which I mainly use in the context of Turkish makam theory. Even so, his harmony approach sounds perfectly functional to my ears, though if you're not used to #microtonality this probably will sound weird/eerie. #Music

Stumbled across this just now. A solo piece called the "sound of monk" played by Li Wenxing on 三弦 (sānxián); a family of three-stringed fretless long-necked lutes, usually around 90-120cm total length (3-4ft) and the soundbox covered with python skin on both front and back. This 78RPM recording is from the mid-20th century. Particularly striking are the slides and consistent scale with #Microtonality in the second half.

Well, have a little #Ethnomusicology rant, touching on #microtonality and misrepresentation, based on stuff I come across often, and it annoys me. #Music #MusicTheory #Musicology
Let's start with a question: How often do you come across people talking about Hijaz as the Egyptian or Arabic/Arabian scale? Seems to me, all the bloody time! (1/11)

Fans of #music that is #improvised and has a soupçon of #microtonality or, dare I say, a dash of #maqqamat and or #EAI and... well you get the idea.

Radio sessions by me from last year. I haven't actually put any music online for eight years, it transpires, so bear that in mind or not (to taste).

#introduction

Hello everyone, I am Diego (aka videco)! I love making music with code and also with other instruments (#electricguitar, #drums, #lumatone).

Among the music projects where I participate, probably the most relevant for this server is Pirarán, a networked ensemble.

My favorite coding tool/language is #overtone (#clojure) for which I've developed libraries related to #microtonality and #polytemporality, as well as a port of #tidalcycles called #piratidal. I also like #tidalcycles #supercollider and #hydra.

Conceptually one of my primary motivators is exploring creativity as a natural phenomena. I do so by conceiving thought/imagination as an ecosystem where different ideas get to co-evolve, and so, I try to think of the projects I work on as part of a network of relations and the products, not as things in themselves, but as parts of a bigger whole. Consequently I place great emphasis on #collaboration as diversity is most important to maintain the dynamic equilibrium of ecosystems and to keep them healthy and lively. As part of all that #chaostheory, #systemstheory, #ecology and #anarchy are also things that interest me.

You can find more information on the music at https://echoic.space

A #musicTheory soapbox moment…
Just been thinking about how we define #microtonality: notes that fall outside of the tonal framework.
But in that case, 17, 24, 31, 36, 53, 72 TET or any other system of #MusicalTemperament isn't #microtonal, because all the pitches are defined, whereas in 12TET a neutral 2nd would stand out as “falling outside the framework”, which does make it microtonal. Relating everything to Western 12TET, which isn't perfect, is problematic IMHO.

after 3y of development i'm happy that i finally wrote a basic introduction to mutwo, a small generic ecosystem for #music, #composition, #algorithmicart & #algorithmicComposition that supports #microtonality, #notation via #lilypond, #midi export & import and #csound render. take a look at it at https://mutwo-org.github.io/ :)

I love this topic (new here and preparing a paper on this)! Some people call it #Mathemusic .
The exploration beyond dodecaphny is called #Microtonality , here is a nice Wiki from Mathemusician from both sides:
https://en.xen.wiki/

Just saw this from Tolgahan Çoğulu, head of classical and #microtonal #guitar at Istanbul Technical University, Turkish state Conservatoire, and inventor of the adjustable microtonal guitar:
"I am so happy to announce the publication of my 350-page-long Microtonal Guitar Method by Kitapol publishing. I can say that I transferred my whole art-music-guitar knowledge into this #book and you can learn a lot about Turkish makam #music, #microtonality and microtonal guitar. You can play the exercises, etudes and repertoire pieces by adding frets onto your own guitars as well. It is a bilingual method in English and Turkish, translated by Tony Italia. The pieces in the method are by Aşık Veysel, Dede Efendi, Tanburi Cemil Bey, Tatyos Efendi, Cahit Berkay, King Gizzard, Ara Dinkjian, Sezen Aksu, Refik Fersan, Şerif Muhiddin Targan, Mutlu Torun, Hafız Post, Hacı Faik Bey and Murat Aydemir."

Today is Adriaan Fokker's birthday. He was one of the most influential 20th century theorists of musical tunings. Inspired by the earlier work of Nicola Vicentino and Christiaan Huygens, he became a champion of 31-EDO, a tuning that's becoming more popular nowadays. He famously designed a 31-EDO organ that's still played regularly in concerts in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ in Amsterdam.

Fokker was a Dutch academic physicist who started to work on music theory and musical tunings during WW2, when Leiden University was closed. During that time he also wrote a lot of music in 31-EDO, which, sadly, isn't being played that much anymore.

In the picture Fokker's the tall guy in the front with his arms crossed. (In the back, third from the left, is Oppenheimer.)
