26edo microtonal guitar diatonic chord scale demo
มุมมอง 12121 วันที่ผ่านมา
I've had this guitar for about 12 years and decided to do a video demo on the characteristics of the tuning, more or less within the familiar diatonic framework along with demonstrating some other intervals available. I've always been a fan of flattening 12edo to gain more consonant major thirds so with 26 being on the flat spectrum it lends itself well to sharpening. After some insight and ins...
22edo Guitar Improvisation -A Duet With Windchimes & Wood Chipper Tanpura

22edo microtonal guitar improvisation : rhythm of the wind
มุมมอง 762 หลายเดือนก่อน
I've long been fascinated by the concept of nature taking part in playing musical instruments. Windchimes, Aeolian Harps, The Sea Organ in Croatia, etc. This kind of free-flowing rhythm comes naturally for me. Creation is music, music is Creation. 22edo is close enough to just intonation, at least in my view to do justice to this organic aesthetic.

Atlantean Sunrise - harmonic series guitar improvisation by the ocean
มุมมอง 693 หลายเดือนก่อน
I went on vacation to VA Beach in order to experience some quality time alone with the mother of all life herself: the ocean. Each day I would get up before sunrise and just stare into the waves for about 20 minutes. Afterwards I would close my eyes and I could still see the outline of the waves flowing in my mind. It left an impression on me, it was quite profound.

    • @zpc9225
      @zpc9225 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Skip fretting besides the obvious 13edo? None, unless you count 2edo. You could do a 138cet 13/12 non octave system I suppose. I strongly favor 26 in it's entirety over those options though.

      @@SumangalSinhaRoy I'm aware of the Kite guitar. 41 is an odd numbered edo so a division of the double octave (ED4) is feasible. 41 works especially well for this when tuned in 3rds on a seven string. Of course you can arbitrarily omit whichever frets you like as long as you can make practical use of it.

    This is very good compared to a lot of beyond 12 tone uses. What is it like learning scales with the notes in between, they look like the 3 note per string stuff I have done for years just with more notes in a tighter space.

    • @zpc9225
      @zpc9225 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      What's great about systems like 19, 26 and 31 is that they have meantone. So you can play traditional music. However 26 has most exotic flavor of all meantone systems because it has a neutral second 13/12 right in the diatonic scale. It can get a bit disorienting with all of the frets but it's doable with fingerboard inlays and some practice. Once you get that under your belt it's fairly straightforward to navigate on. I'm concentrating on what makes the tuning shine in a more consonant way, rather than overly abrasive and dissonant tonalities. While the explicitly strange stuff may have it's place, I think this approach has more potential to capture people's interest and showcases the benefits and reason for using microtonal tunings. At least that's what I aim for. It's more musical and pleasant in my opinion.

      @@zpc9225 Thank you so much for responding this much, I have never been interested in true temperament or quarter note frets, but I would honestly try one to see if I could navigate, because I intuitively navigate 6,7,8, and extended range instruments just fine. I think the intervallic relationships would be hardest to learn.
