This rocks! Jazzy with crunchy chords. After two years of listening to microtonal still cannot figure out why some of it works, and other doesn't. But this absolutely does! Also, this mix really works for me :)
I’ve never really heard a song that intentionally uses microtones like this and while i’m definitely not used to it because it sounds like it’s in the key of Z#, it’s also very intriguing and makes me wonder what other genres would sound like if like this.
I'm fairly new to microtonal music, so I'm still getting used to it, because being used to the usual 12-TET music, it's so strange hearing different notes than the ones I'm used to. this is really opening my eyes to a whole new genre of music
🤓 Well actually what you're hearing are new intervals, not new notes. It wouldn't be microtonal if you just transposed a song one quarter tone up. In fact hearing it wouldn't sound "strange" at all.
@@falkeborg9432 The thing that makes it "strange" are the intervals between notes. If you heard to these notes one at a time every 10 minutes, you wouldn't know it's microtonal. Of course there are new notes you probably never heard but the thing that makes it "strange" are the intervals.
I like this way of doing it. I've heard other regarded works that are just random noise generation like "this is MICROTONALITY" and I'm like "yeah you're right, this is really shitty microtonality". But this work has like patterns and arcs to it.
There are tons of ways to play with microtonality, I'm happy for you that you like my way of approaching it, and I encourage you to continue discovering new artists and new ways to play with these strange temperaments!
That pipe sounding instrument at the end is sooooo good, I love it so much. Like it just brings out that motif out into the forefront. Really want to play drums to this, but it’s a bit hard.
I like using the free plugin Redtron and it's flute sound for that kinda thing, also Tapeotronic that sounds a bit cleaner and is cool in combination with Redtron so you can get some extra expression, iirc there's some more cool ones that are completely free... Sadly I don't think these can be tuned, though. Very cool sound whether you keep it raw, make it into something new entirely or maybe do a bit of both, like keeping it raw with a subtle reverb and EQ and maybe modulating a freq shifter for some different character on (Some of) your bent note expressions.
You are very talented) The atmosphere of this track is strange but at the same time very pleasant for me. It is cool and I would like to hear more music like this)
Today I started my venture into the realm of microtonality, and it is a far more trippy, weird and beautiful one than I'd imagined at the start xD Great choice of video material, really fits the vibe of the music :)

You sould check out 31 Edo, because you can have a neutral chord, neither minor or major, also you can have super minor and super major, plus if I remember correctly the the pefect fifth is more justly intonated than in standard 12 tet
I really love this song and the chemistry between the piano and drums and bass. I've listened to almost all of your songs. i really like what you are doing, but this one so far is my most favorite, im really looking in to start getting fretless instruments and even a lumatone in the future. I definitely would love to learn this song. Keep up this awesome microtonal music journey!
I'm really happy to read this! Lumatone look so cool, I will be so happy to try to play it. If one day you need some transcription or something like that, I will do my best to help you!
@Beheld thank you for the offer! When I get a fretless bass, I will try by ear to challenge myself, but if I struggle, I will definitely reach out to you. i would love to see how it's written in notation. I've looked at some music theory stuff for 31edo, and there was so much more compared to what I already know about 12edo, but I really love these expansive concepts. One last question was the pitch for this in A440? If not, please let me know which pitch you are tuned to. Thanks in advance!
@Beheld thank you !. I appreciate it for letting me know, and also, that's a plus that you use this for all your songs. I can't wait to learn the rest as well !
That’s interesting! Nice too see people experimenting with this kind of music because it definetely has a lot of potential and there is a lot to uncover. Cool track, even though it sounds cursed to me because of how used I am to the usual tones. Certainly gives an odd vibe!
Cool combination of a strange jazz vibe in an equal temperament version I had never heard of before (although Wikipedia now has an entry for it -- I could have sworn that wasn't there before), with a video that seems to be in the world of Howl's Moving Castle.
Hayao Miyazaki's work is really inspiring to found new vibes to explore, his movies impressed me so much, mixing microtonality music and Ghibli's landscapes is so satisfying
@@beheld165 try brewing coffee, spearmint, lemon peel, allspice, cinnamon, and cardamom together with some creamer if you want -- the Bleach Oboe. My spearmint was moldy and I vomited plenty. After being cleansed and having some peace I listened to your song: it is Bleach Oboe core. Post-spearmint bloodstream core.
I'm not sure I heard chords interact with each other in quite this way before, very cool! If I had to describe it, it's almost sort of meandering in a cool way, maybe floating is a better word? Certain bits have a more straightforward sense of direction, but a lot of the chords just sorta fall into place in an interesting way that feels strangely... Neutral? It's almost as if the bits that feel more straightforward get washed away. Love the different bits of jazzy language you tap into and make it feel so different, it's almost like a painting depicting a mundane scene, but it's all ghostly, surreal and uncanny in a way that feels comfortable.
@@TachyBunker Pas de chance je suis à l'opposé ! Côté Ouest. Ça aurait été avec plaisir, je ne connaissais pas non plus d'autre français que touche un peu à ça !
Lovely.. are you using all 15 of the intervals or selecting some.. and if so which ones and why..? I am just starting to dip my toes into intentional microtonality and am often confounded by how do i choose between the notes available..
I actually use all of them... But there is some reason I play them. I'm not a lot into music theory but I think there are some easy way to write stuff, with microtons or not. I write chords like multiple voices. I usually take four or five notes per chord. It's like I write them individually, I want them to sing, and they can be pretty free. Then, I try my best to create chord progression with a lot of release and tension movements. Basycally, I try to right stuff pretty similar at 12 TET, and then I often play with basic chromatism, and bring back stuff in confortable places, with a lot of consonance. It's look like I work a lot with kind of pentatonic scales but with some extra flavor, some microtons around those strong anchors. I think this is it! I stay around strong "12 TET - like" voices, and then I explore around them to give some spices, new colors. I'm definitely not going to revolutionize microtonal music with this approch, but it's fun, and sometimes, I write some cool things, like this tune! If you share your experimentations, I'll take a look! Sorry I can't help more, but I hope you enjoy trying too!
@@beheld165 oh that is an amazing approach.. I'm more of an improviser than a composer but i think this idea does give me some ideas.. especially what you mentioned of finding notes similar to 12 tet and then exploring its 'flavours'..
you should probably put credit for the anime these scenes are from also great piece! i enjoyed it! definitely very interesting to listen to something like this
Yeah, I think 24 TET it's definitively what you need bro. In this one, you have all your regular notes (A , Bb , B , C , Db , D , Eb , E , F , Gb , G, Ab), and in between, you have those twelve over notes, those quarter tones. From the note to the octave, there is 24 equal intervals, and every two intervals, you will fall on a regular note of the 12 TET we usually listen too! I swear I help you a little bit, I'm not an head into music theory, but I tried my best!
Have you heard of our lord and saviour harsh noise, a music genre that literally is noise? Because if you haven't heard some of that stuff, you don't really know what noise REALLY is.
