Every prime limit has its own distinct character (up to a point, it's highly debated what primes people hear as separate characters, I'd say consistently up to 13 but up to 23 in some contexts
@@jacob_adlerIs this {2, 3, 7}-limit, without the prime 5? This can be nice as an alternative to strict 5-limit, but personally i often prefer the full 7-limit, with those beautiful 4:5:6:7:8 chords, including the moody yet consonant 5:7 lesser tritone interval. That said, this piece is really gorgeous! 😊🎵💖
@@henrikljungstrand2036 Thank you! Yes, this tuning uses only multiples of 3 and 7. I also love 5, but the absence of 5 can create a unique atmosphere of dark melancholy.
What a wild piece, loved it, very distinct. Microtonal but not abrasive, first minute especially pulled me in. A professor of mine in college (who you may know) Kyle Gann told us a crazy story about La Monte Young. Apparently he and his wife used a 27 hour day, so they stayed inside and had their own "morning" and "night". He went to interview him, after awhile he said "I should really get going" (it was past 1AM normal time), and La Monte said "but we haven't even served dinner yet". Kyle stayed and they served him yoghurt mixed with supplements, which was apparently all they ate lol... crazy stuff! Anyways you should check out his album hyperchromatica. It's 3 disklaviers in some crazy tuning, it's great. Also curious what did your piano tuner say when you asked him for this lol..? I'm a composer, I used to think just intonation was something special that I should use to be more harmonically "pure" .... I've come full circle, don't think my piano will be anything but 12-TET in the future :)
I think I saved all the MP3s from that class that he shared with us, it was called "the arithmetic of listening", I can share it with you (if i can find it), might be useful for your class :) .... It started with barbershop quartet and then went to many wonderfully diverse and strange places. One of the most gorgeous pieces I've ever heard (and continue to listen to and appreciate more deeply to this day) is Ben Johnston's string quartet #4, based on amazing grace. I will never forget when he played that piece for us
@@ekcrisp1 Happy to hear you enjoyed the piece. I tuned the piano myself, so no need to hire a tuner. I have heard Kyle Gann's Hyperchromatica and read his book The Arithmetic of Listening - I very much enjoyed both of them. Many summers ago, I attended one of La Monte Young's Just Alap Raga Ensemble concerts in his apartment - it was probably 130 degrees in that room because they wanted to avoid noise from A/C and open windows. The atmosphere was like that of a solemn religious ritual (praying to a shrine and wearing robes) and the audience was given a strict list of rules to abide by (no getting up to go to the bathroom, no coughing, no pictures, etc.). Johnston's Amazing Grace is a gorgeous piece, indeed.

I love the shimmer it imparts onto the melodies when you stack all those 64/63s together.
so interesting!
Wow that's great!! It sounds a bit like Michael Harrison.
it's interesting how anything septimal/7-limit has a distinctive melancholic achy sound
I agree!

The course last year was very valuable. This piece is ear twisting to say the least!

Apparently the natural circadian day when people are left without a clock is 25 hours
sooo cloudy
This is fantastic.
Wonderful tones!
sooooo good
Thanks for that! How about a slower piece? Oh, it gets slower in the middle.

very sick
