Sevish - Faded Orange Glow (17edo) (2020x5)

Air date: Jul 09, 2020

Check out the wacky melody near the end, which I made by hitting a cup of tea with the side of a teaspoon. I recorded this without a metronome using a portable recorder in my kitchen, then I imported it into Ableton and time warped the audio to get it exactly on beat. Because pitch and playback rate are correlated, the note-by-note changes to the playback rate introduce changes to the pitch of each note. This resulted in a lucky little melody with lots of chance microtonal pitches in there. It's not in 17edo, but I liked how it stood out from the rest of the track, so I kept it in.
