Sevish - Longwayaway People (11-edo microtonal) (2015x7)

Air date: Jun 03, 2015

11-edo is a really odd scale... How alien does it sound to you? It's definitely an acquired taste. For one thing, the melody can be surprisingly similar in shape to standard Western tuning. But on the other hand the harmony is totally different. The chords in this piece utilise the 11th harmonic. It sounds like a fourth but it's a quarter-tone sharp. In the end all I want is for this piece to mess with and reconfigure your brain... It sounds super normal to me now.
