Sevish – Freathy (microtonal chillout) (2018x1)

Data de estreia: Jan 19, 2018

Named after a beach in Cornwall where I took my holidays as a kid, where the low tide would reveal soft sands that seemed to escape into the horizon. Two tunings were used. You’ll hear TOP Blackwood[10] throughout most of the piece. The ending section uses the 1 3 7 9 11 dekany. A dekany is a combination product set tuning dreamed up by Erv Wilson. Blackwood[10] is one of my favourite tonal structures, as it contains 5 major chords and 5 minor chords distributed evenly and symmetrically, with no need for a diminished chord like you would find on the 7th degree of the major scale. You might have heard me use this scale in 'Enterprise' and 'So Thankful'. I would recommend Blackwood[10] as a scale for beginner microtonalists to explore as it's easy to navigate, not too many notes, sounds fantastic and has a good balance between familiar/xenharmonic.
