Sevish - Come on a Journey (non octave harmonic series) (2019x11)


Date de diffusion: Oct 24, 2019

Come on a Journey is the opening track to my album Horixens. It's a prog-ish, cinematic breakbeat track in a microtonal scale. Sounds messed up but if that's the kind of music you wanted to hear today, that's the kind of music I make. This is tuned to a non-octave-repeating segment of the harmonic series. Specifically harmonics 16-24. This tuning repeats at the perfect fifth. It's not to say that the tuning contains NO octaves, because there are certainly octaves here (e.g. the octave between 9/8 and 9/4). Octaves are far more scarce in this tuning so you cannot take any pitch class and transpose it up or down by an indefinite number of octaves. But you can transpose indefinitely by perfect fifths, because this tuning repeats at the perfect fifth! What this means is considerable limitation on voicings and compositional choices in general. It also sort of means that higher ranges of the tuning feel like they're in a different key to lower ranges.
