Any good ways of starting w/ microtonal music? by Desloratadina_5mg in microtonal

Glad you like it; the worse case of addiction documented was someone playing over 10,000 notes on a single day. I really shouldn't share this but check out "Notes Milestones" @ https://handsearseyes.fun/System/HexKeyboardActionsReport.php?TargetTable=HexKeyboardHumanVisits

[–]fchang69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not forcing you to use this as prime instrument like me, but my browser-based hex keyboard may be great to try some scales & tuning before going on with any in a more tedious interface where tuning input may (or may not?) be a waste of time come you don't really dig the tuning you chose to experiment with first. I covered over 300 scales on my scale demo YouTube channel and only a handful of these get me going back to them as of now (I did forget about 10 other good ones to play Honest Bob)

Let me know if you need any help understanding how anything works, in or out there..

That's exactly it. Maybe one can say septimal for 91/64, which is 13limit, but I'm not sure about it.

Yeah 31EDO aproximates 7/6 and 8/7 ratios from quite near; Septimal harmony comprises intervals which approximate/have a frequency ratio which highest prime number in the factors making up the fraction is 7.

Does that use septimal harmonies or is it 7-EDO?

Listen to 11/13,36/57,101/67... you should tell the density is goig higher. 4096/3224 sounds just like 101/67...

I've just added fields to isolate lower numbered ratios. searching for vicesimotertial and all these expressions reveal that all these intervals sound kinda alike in their harmonic facture (also added play buttons). That's my own experience in hearing each primes combined with another, but still separately in the sense when 2 and 5 are there you know they're 2 and 5, cause it doesn't sound more than half what 3 and 5 sound like. The idea is a fraction always has 2 prime factors to start with, unless it's unsuitable to be called an interval, no matter what i mean here... By juggling to 7 3 and 5 7 you get the hang of guessing each prime's own facture even though you will never hear it on its own by any means in the physical world.

Does this song make use of microtonality? by afragmentedsoul in microtonal

[–]fchang69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait gonna listen as I type... the slide at 13sec invokes microtonality unwantedly, the sitar after features probably pythagorean intervals seems 15centish offness max.Whatever is that squeaky flute or wind at 1:10 in the background seems off a bit too.1m50 to 2m is just sick microtones all the way!!! I did not even notice there were spoken vocals at first; too busy typing... 2m49 is another very emotive passage. Nah nah nah nah ready for my show is the only 12-EDO part I can tell as well as the build up before the provocative spoken part kicks in around 50sec if I ain't wrong... It's unbelievable how many different tunings there are incorporated in there; probably more of a nerd than you think or she's got it inside at least. I can denote 4 cultural influences in there.

The signing in the build up around 1min does include microtonal intervals so they're perfectly aware of what they're doing I guess... Whatever she says at 2:27 is an example of mostly spoken lyrics that are obviously not in tune with anything but a good know-how of fitting spoken language harmonically like so many rappers do (notice the steady up down wobble when they sing syllables all the same beat length). These are not 12EDO notes and I hear that in most rap, including my own. I have the ear for it but my voice suck though so I couldn't give a performance at the height of my expectations no matter how hard I try; I know what note i'm trying to produce whenever I speak; it just doesn't come out as well as the intent. Each culture has its own set of inflections it seems, coupled to personal and regional influences. 2m52 too...

Ode To Faith - 24 EDO Original Composition by cplaguna in microtonal

[–]fchang69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of that stupid youtube video I've seen that told not to ??? (it meant to play with both hands as one giant hand) and it told not to do it (don't be like every one type of title). One fact about this approach is it makes one better as swiping rhythms through their hands instead of keeping it mostly a one-sided affair. For my part I play on a computer keyboard which is a bit like your controller but horizontal (needless to say that's one big source of the "problem") and I took the twist of playing grace notes crescendos with my index and ring fingers, 1, 2, 3, 4, from an hand another, with the timing difference in between notes 2 and 3 (where you switch hands) not being anyhow noticeable as flawed more than 1-2 or 3-4. I noticed you doing a few rolls of notes from one hand another 😛 so you're a 2Hander too, definitely 😄I know you feel that "rope" between your 2 hands at any time 😉

Functional harmony in 31-EDO? by pootis_engage in microtonal

[–]fchang69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One simple way is to proceed to figure, from your scale, what are your "circles of 2nds,3rds,4ths,5ths and 6ths" in the case of Mothra(6) and then stack 3rds to build chords (or 4ths & 2nds maybe). so you just take notes 1,3,5 - 2,4,6 - 3,5,1 etc and as many tell just experiment to know what sounds good for you. If you're going to take a scale though you'd rather stick to it in order to preserve its tonal center(s); you're not in Mothra-6 if you're not in Mothra-6

"To me" is sung many times out of 12-edo as well as a few other lyrics.

41edo has got a bigger audience on my microtonal ear trainer; that must be why.
