Sevish - Outside (microtonal ambient) (2019x7)

Data de estreia: Ago 15, 2019

This is what it would sound like if you took the harmonic series itself and used it as a musical tuning. That means, the first interval is an octave (2/1), then it's a fifth (3/2), then a fourth (4/3), then a major third (5/4) and so on. I mainly used the low members of the series because the really high up ones start to get very close together. Normally using the harmonic series as a tuning in this way would be slightly boring because there is no harmonic movement - everything relates back to the lowest note 1/1. So at one or two points throughout this piece I use the pitch bend to move the entire pitch set by a whole tone (9/8). It's a hacky way to do harmonic movement, but in microtonal music EVERYTHING is hacky. This track is from my old Windows/Ableton based workflow using Xen-Arts VST synths. From the new album Horixens
