I really like the thought put into that discription. You just have to rebel against the control and do what you want. Set up a Patreon if need be. Keep up the fight.
Dear goodness, you are wonderful. The description, your idea to use the theory in this music simply so that it's more accessible, the way you want to push the boundaries - this needs more attention!
Thank you for sharing this with the world Dolores. So much we can do and this is an example of that and I mean literally. I show examples of your work to my students so they can see and hear something different and the possibilities we have in music. If you are ever in VA coffee is on me.
Increibles palabras!, seguire con tu revolcion Dolores! te sigo desde hace 3 años y no paras de enseñarme cosas fuera de este mundo, muchisimas gracias por tu vision y conocimiento, juntos podremos germinar un mundo digital mejor y libre
I don’t know exactly how to describe to you what just happened, but the music made me sneeze in the most positive way I can possible mean. You’re doing music a great service.
Beautiful work as always. I'd love to hear a piece performed using sine waves instead of sawtooth waves some time so that the beating between frequencies is more apparent.
I really want to get one of those controllers, more than any of the others. I think after I get the Behringer RD-808 and Hyve Synth I will save up for that beast.
Just to put this out there, as an fyi. She uses the sawtooth patch because without it, it's really hard to hear the different divisions of the octave. It's more functional to use the sawtooth. Although I'm sure it's possible to maybe mess with different patches to find something else that provides the clarity the divisions need to be heard
I think it’d be neat to hear these micro pitch intervals in a polyphonic modular synth setup. As a waveform artist I’m sure that as long as upper frequencies are more or less preserved, these musical intervals will still remain clear. This means no crazy effects like flangers, phasers, delays, etc. as those would involve too much pitch manipulation. However light use of specific reverbs or HASS based effects would be fine. Also subtractive filtering that followed the chords in a mathematical sense of what frequencies are reduced could be cool. Specific comb filtering, or any kind of cascading phase cancellation of the overtones could potentially be neat, as long as frequencies aren’t added by blurring the pitch domain in some way. No major use of filtering in a typical sense like HP, LP, BP filters ect. would be ideal as they would create such blur in the pitch domain. If anything maybe a linear phase HP filter, although loss of the fundamental frequencies might ruin the chords. In theory I could only imagine Harmor (a unique additive synth that constructs and manipulates individual sine waves) would be able to be mapped to the micro pitched chords so that filtering and effects could be applied post waveform. Or a more expensive approach, if you used a bunch of Tubbutech micro pitch controllers and created some mastermind modular synth patch that assigned each note in a chord to have a particular timbre or effect that compliments it’s position in the spectrum. I.E. the lowest fundamental pitch could be a loud wave with low amount of overtones. (Imagine a deformed triangle wave or something of the sort with few odd order harmonics) And the upper notes in a chord to be assigned to timbres and effects that suit those. (Imagine anything from saw waves, or any harmonically rich waveforms as long as they are not odd order ((squarified)), any kinds of amplitude modulation whether rhythmic or audio rate, HASS and/or very very light pitch based effects; since the upper spectrum is more forgiving for pitch blur and phase cancellations. Perhaps some highpass filtering at audio rate modulation but maybe not.) In any case, I wish I had a fancy keyboard to experiment with these scales. I know there is so much more to be explored for the actual synth patching. Just my 2 cents.
I dont know.. I like the idea of microtonal music but completely leaving behind rhythm and melody? I could write a simple computer program that would create the music in this video.
im gonna sound cocky but i have to - to a certain degree - agree with you. the music is interesting, dont get me wrong, but after a few minutes im just lost and exhausted(?) struggling to find a point to catch on other than "oh thats a hell lot of cool sounding chords and movements in a slowly building succession"... but to *me* it just doesnt seem it leads anywhere, it just starts and goes somewhere, but *i* cant quite wrap my head around where and why. but that might be just me lol
Unrelated comment here, but maybe there is a parallel here similar to the Romantic Era of Western Music. It's more about the color/imagery than it is the structure/direction of the composition itself @@bazdesh
Amen to that description.
Ikr
yea yea yea yea
Fantastic. You are truly a musical pioneer.
Agreed!!
Yo, can you make an LP? I would absolutely buy it, speaking for myself.
It’d be awesome to put an album of your stuff on and just mellow out.
beautiful, I find it interesting not only for its uniqueness but you are using microtonality in an applied way. Bravo!
your work and thoughts are so forward thinking and resonant. i wish they could be embraced by all the world.

amazing ! I can hear the cosmos

Hey, long time no see!! I love these ethereal tunes.

Thank you for posting your inspiring polychromatic compositions.
An amazing artist you are Dolores, really original music you make.
Thanks
Looping this to soothe my brain - so grateful
I love this so much - for mysterious reasons, microtonal music literally makes my mouth water, and especially your polychords, so Hank you
You are a gift to humanity.
I don’t know exactly how to describe to you what just happened, but the music made me sneeze in the most positive way I can possible mean. You’re doing music a great service.
I'd love to hear Jacob Collier sing along w you. that would be an interesting match up and I think he has the talent/ear to pull it off
Beautiful work as always. I'd love to hear a piece performed using sine waves instead of sawtooth waves some time so that the beating between frequencies is more apparent.
Hi from Spain. New bands must study polychromatic composition.
I really appreciate your music - thank you for sharing it with everyone.
Love it! Please upload your TH-cam recordings to iTunes so I can buy them and listen to on the go. Sheet music?
Beautiful

This would be a perfect score for an 80’s space movie
this is the best music to listen to while tripping on acid or shrooms!
thank you jorge, very cool!
This is a good one
ooh yea, that's right, stroke my chakras, just like that
Beautiful, just beautiful
that passage at 3:41 goosebumps!
I think this is the reason I've got bees nesting in my loft.
You've invented a new lydian. Unlimited new lydians...
Anywhere I can still pick up this keyboard?
7:46 microtonal secuence
ayyyyyyy!!
Hell yeah Dolores!
Read the description!👆
really nice
I love listening to this music while I train for boxing
Twelve minutes of Windows 98 loading theme, magnificent
In the words of silver the hedgehog: "great, great, great"
Barry? WOO! Barry? Barry. Gonna hear that four times in a row
4:31
Have you considered collaborating with Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never)?
seconded
Nice composition. I think you should try other sounds, more filters and effects. 12min of just sawtooth waves it's too much...

Can I hope this is a tribute to the planet Praxis?
..or to the band. Better yet the very notion of...living what you practice, practice what you live.🎶💗🖤🤟

but that might be just me lol
Why not do it then?
Not saying anybody has to like it, but this certainly doesn’t completely leave behind rhythm and melody.
If you want more melodic/rhythmic microtonal music, may I suggest SevishMusic?
