A Microtonal Tribute to Stevie Wonder

- Hey!
It's finally here!! Our first cover song that is entirely played in 31 TET!
In our last episode ( • If Stevie Wonder were ... ) we asked ourselves what it would sound like if Stevie Wonder were a microtonal composer.
So this is our rendition of his classic "Overjoyed". We hope it does the original justice while being fresh and microtonally innovative at the same time. And who knows, maybe Stevie will join the xenharmonic community after all? How cool would that be!
We also would like to say a gigantic thanks to Tina Burova (Violin) and Peter Scharonow (Bass & Beatboxing) for their awesome commitment and their musicality. You flarping rock!
And a huge thanks to all our Patrons on Patreon for helping to make these videos possible!

Adam Neely: You can't reharmonize a Steve Wonder song
Hear Between The Lines: hold my lumatone keyboard
hahaha gottem
Refreshing to hear micro tonal harmony that isn't violently awful
We feel you haha, thanks so much!
My perfect ear cries out for mercy. Years and years of studies of harmony and composition thrown away.
And it works great.
This is soooooo trippy..... but unlike any other sort of trippyness I have ever encountered. Watched this a couple times now, and I'm just smiling to myself and thinking.... WTF just happened! Both beautiful and bizarre.... both totally tasteful and totally outrageous.
You guys are freaking micro-toning! Thanks for teaching and showing this technique!!🙏
You're very welcome, thanks for your comment!
Wooooooo!!!! I'm going to have to figure out what is going on with all these flarps and this and that. Great stuff guys!!!!
The flarp has always been the most mysterious accidental
Is a flarp an interval or accidental?
@@elkminister4444 Flarp is the monosyllabic word we came up with for "half-flat". So it is an accidental. In 31 TET the difference between let's say a C and a C flarp would be a fifth tone (about 40 cents). Hope this helps :)
Getting ready to go to work. never have i slipped into my socks in a more elegant and tender way. Thanks!
It's sooooo dreamy. 1:55 onward got me chills all over! Smash'd that like button.
This is so tastefully done!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Be right back, currently sharing with everyone in the universe
EDIT: I transcribed this thing! it's on my channel
Wow.
Watching this I'm reminded of another Stevie Wonder cover I saw on youTube nine years ago by this young British kid ;)
This is going to go far,
and we are witness to the beginning.
I didn’t know this was possible.
Everything is possible! :D Don't get us wrong, this was flarping difficult to play, but it's definitely in the realm of things that are do-able.
@@HearBetweenTheLines You guys are incredible! And that piano solo... pure music. Please keep putting out new material!
I would love for Stevie to hear it and to hear his thoughts on it!
This is so amazing! It’s hard to put into words how soothing this is. I absolutely adore your guys’ music. Keep up the amazing work!
Wow, thank you so much for this lovely comment
this is the next level, overenjoyed and overshared!
Wow! Never knew microtonal music could be so smooooth. King Gizzard need to check this out! ;)
Tooootally, send it to them ;)
Wowwww! insane, inspiring stuff. thank you for making this!
Thanks man, you're amazing yourself, Freddi and I are still pondering your insane score!
This is a treat to my ears. Thank you.
This is a treat to read, so thank you! :)
Great!
Guys YOU NEED TO DO MORE THIS STUFS !!
Okay, working on it! We just released a new single, check it out! :))
Quarter comma sweettone
Hahaaa! I see what you did there ;)
This is an absolute banger. Now I need microtonal Smile please
Stevie Wonder Genius!!
I love this song I love 31edo I love this video gonna have to get on that patreon
Yeeeesss, join the tribe ;)
Marvelous work! Certainly you guys have > through the secret life of plants.
SO GOOD
I needed this. Beyond Incredible.
Ok, wait. Did I smoke already? Sounding like something bitter like chicoree with caramel sauce... blending with sparkly orange gelly
Gorgeous. Great work!!
Thanks a lot!!
I love you and this so much
db db db db thaaaanks! And we love this comment :D
wow, that's amazing! guys, seems like you are deep into this microtonal stuff. I don't know if you'll like the idea. But I just found that there are no vocal warmups for this EDO on the youtube. Maybe you can record a small video with warmup with 31 tones for vocalists. You'll be the first, or one of the first and people will enjoy it.
Good luck!
Great suggestion! Will give it a go soon!
Oh yea
this is top-notch my fellowbeings
Thanks a lot, Mark, glad you enjoyed it :)
Wonderful, bravo!!
Thanks a lot, Erik!
Great job!!!!
Super nice ✨✨
Thank you! Cheers!
Soooooo sweet!!! 🍭🦑🌈🎉
YOU are so sweet, so nice to have you at the watch party :)
2:02 that was all such a neat and satisfying visual effect 😊
Thanks!! I was thrilled, too, but somehow my graphics card wasn't as happy about it... ;)
just discovered this mindblowing channel. any advice or related links on how to get started on a strings instrument? particular the doublebass. how do you wrap your head around that. are you thinking of where normal hand positions would be and then shift from there into flarpy territory? Or throw out all regular fret thinking, except somehow purified or 'just-ified' (hehe) 3rd, 5th, 7th and so on?
happy 1k subs buddy
Are you our 1000th? :) If so, welcome aboard!
@@HearBetweenTheLines nah im the 999th, someone in george's discord server finished it off
@@Kino-Imsureq George? Which George? :))))
@@HearBetweenTheLines George Collier (not jacobs relative but hees youtuber and im not sure if his last name is actually collier)
I think the reason Stevie Wonder doesn’t make microtonal music is that most keyboard solutions don’t work for the blind. Like he can play piano because he can feel the black notes. Those don’t exist on something like the lumatone.
That's an interesting thought! I agree, the Lumatone could have variable (maybe clip-on?) tactile markers to let the performer feel where their hands are :) Anyway, I'd love for Stevie to mess around with microtones, it'd have to be exciting what he comes up with!
Fiiiiire, so clean
Do you guys have a keymap for the shrinking dominant saleof 31ter on an isomorphic keyboard? It would be a life saver 😊
Ouff, I don't think so... The step sizes in 31 are: 5 - 5 - 4 - 4- 4 - 3 - 3 - 3 , though
@@HearBetweenTheLines Thank you, that helps too
Excellent. How about covering Superstition?
Way less opportunity for modulation, but yeah, awesome jam track! Maybe for a tour? ;)
Cant tell if this is 15 dudes or just one guy
It's actually Tina, Freddi, Rami and Peter = 4 people :)
the piano ist totally out of tune
Shat, Freddi, we're busted!!
lmao
Sounds dope!! What's the layout on lumatone? Looks like a regular bosanquet but diagonally 😯
Hey thanks, Amelia, we also dig your stuff a lot!
If I'm not mistaken it's Mike's Mohajira Layout :) Definitely not Bosanquet, though.
