Bohlen-Pierce improvisation on AXiS-49 (2015x14)

: 16, 2015

This piece is an improvisation in the Bohlen-Pierce scale. It's a really cool scale which doesn't contain any octaves, but it does contain perfect twelfths. The instrument is an AXiS-49, by C-Thru Music (who recently went out of business). The markings on the AXiS-49 don't correspond to the Bohlen-Pierce scale, so I just try to ignore them. This video is cut from a larger video which was streamed live earlier today. Sorry about the quality, my poor laptop couldn't handle it. The sound designs in this piece were hastily programmed during the live stream, but in case you wondered: the accompanying pad is u-he's ACE synth and the lead is Xen-Arts' IVOR synth.
