@@Storemotor73 it's not really microtonal, it's enharmonic, it has, e.g, D#s and Ebs and C naturals and B#s, so all major thirds can be played in tune. It even has double sharps and flats.
I think it differentiate between things like Bb and A# which do have an actual difference but on instruments are the same note due to them being similar enough in frequency
@@unicornbro517they both refer to the same frequency in equal temperament, it's just the instrument is tuned to a different temperament Edit - wanted to add that Bb and A# are indeed different with right context. Bb functioning as the tonic in Bb major is not the same frequency as A# that is major 7th in B (natural) major (-12 cents according to google, do log math to get frequency) But notice how the conversation is still around the temperament, in this case just intonation. Would highly recommend doing some reading and asking your music teacher to clear up this misconception.
It seems to me that since I can somewhat predict what the next measure, phrase, etc. will be like in normal music, the inability to expect what's coming next is like how unexpectedness is part of the basis of why we enjoy comedy
@@cleve741 how to hear it properly ? Hearing like that first, i sort of try to put sounds into normal 1/2 tones, and if it fails, like in some places here with shifts, it just sounds false but then as he remains in the same scale it is normal again...
@@cicik57 I wouldn't stress too much about hearing it "properly". With style in particular you could think of it in terms of normal diatonic theory, but using microtonal shifts as sort of tonal accents.
Perfect temperaments in jazz! This is my first exposure to it. This is so lovely. I hope you'll be inspired to try some more. I'd love to hear your interpretation (and arrangement!) of Coltrane's Giant Steps. Your choice of how to tune around the circle of related fifths would really add something interesting. And I don't know that there would be a "right answer"
Thie is not actually just Intonation if I understand it correctly. Just Intonation is the unconcious norm in a capella music because you have infinite freedom in intonation You should listen to a capella songs from Jacob Collier. There are many jazzy songs with perfect Intonation. Moon river from him really stands out
Also I can't believe the hate this is getting - it's absolutely incredible! I used to compose microtonal pop but even with the background knowledge this blows my mind even more!
To anyone who knows the original recording with Flora Purin vocals and who knows the criticism regarding her tuning, this sounds as both an homage and a criticism on a whole new level. On my part I always enjoyed her singing and found this version no less than amusing.
Exactly what I came here to comment! I thought, is this a nod to Flora Purim’s intonation? 😂 but at the same time, that is one of the elements that make those records so nostalgic for me, and it is captured here in a completely different context. It was quite a nice brain massage!
i swear i have heard some brazillian songs in some weird tuning system from the 1980s that were very similar to this, maybe 31edo too, but now i cant remember the name
@@GlacierGalaxy i think i found the guy i was thinking of, but i dont think if i can call it microtonal i think its more like just entonation, its a man called José Augusto Mannis and i also recomment checking out Jônatas Manzolli.
I think it’s a microtonal harpsichord? I’m also not sure how the layout works though but I assume the bottom two rows are like a normal keyboard and then it increases pitch with each row?
@@redddubs since intruments like this are usually equally tempered, I’d assume it would go up by 8th steps where each note above the ones on your average piano are going up by 25 cents
@@redddubs Pretty sure the middle of the triple keys is approaching our modern 12-ET version while the ones above and below are in some sort of Just Intonation or Meantone. In either of those systems, C♯ is lower than D♭, D♯ is lower than E♭, etc. I also think that these keys all share a pair of strings and get "fretted" like a clavichord, so you can only choose one of the three at any given time.
There's 31 keys per octave, so I'm guessing this is tuned to 31 equal temperament. The bottom row should sound pretty close to what the white keys on a piano would sound, and there's either 2 or 4 intermediate notes in between. It gives way better thirds and slightly worse fourth and fifth than 12-ET (the standard tuning).
i wanna know why it all of a sudden stopped. this is what i needed. im fascinated. we need more jazz on this microtonal contraption that somehow makes jazz almost sound better
Did you literally translated all the jazz vocabulary into 31-edo, and even extended jazz chords in 31-edo, and then mastered all 31 different keys? That sounds like a huge amount of work.
i see you have played in a trio! and it is quite wonderful. a trio with this specific microtonal ingenuinity though, that would be even lovelier to see
This is NUTS!!!! Go Georg. Astounding. Some of those modulations look so wild here with the usual meantone layout, congrats for getting your fingers and ears around all of this stuff. I'd be so keen for something similar but much longer. Always keen for more.
I like this song so so much!! Long time I didn’t listen to it!! What a perfomance!! Thanks!! Only in microtonal we can aprecia-te the intricacy of chick coreas genius.
Verily, doth my soul find itself enraptured by the harmonious strains of this track, wherein every note doth weave a tapestry of delight within the chambers of mine heart. Yea, the melody doth dance upon the air as if borne aloft by seraphic wings, and the rhythm doth stir the very essence of my being. Such is the power of this music, that it doth transport me to realms of blissful reverie, where naught but the beauty of sound reigns supreme. Ah, how fervently do I profess my adoration for this composition, for it hath ensnared my senses and ensorcelled my spirit with its enchanting melody. Verily, 'tis a treasure beyond compare, and I shall cherish it in the depths of my soul for all eternity.
this feels like a song you’d hear when you were 7 on an incredibly rare nintendo wii error screen in the middle of the night when you weren’t supposed to be up that would scare the crap out of you so you’d shut it off and never hear it again but it would linger in the back of your mind as a sort of haunting melody that you know but you just can’t remember where it was from until years later when it gets recommended to you on youtube and you suddenly remember or maybe it’s just a weird lil ditty idk
At first I just thought this was a piano with weird colored keys but now I realize it's one of the most difficult instruments in the world to play. The pitch sounds good

its a harpsichord.

Not something often said about the harpsichord, but it sure does sound fresh :)
It's not music. It's garbage. It's not fresh, it's just a nice looking fruit that's rotten to the core.

Finally, me harnessing youtube algorithm all these years were not in vain.

Truly wonderful stuff, keep them coming!!!
never heard samba/bossa nova on a harpsicord.. i love it!!! :0

Jazz about to have a field day with all these new notes
would absolutely love to hear some Nancarrow piece with this, perhaps his Study No. 3c
Beautiful and fun!

Delightful musical journey. Gorgeous color grade.
For someone who has never really been in microtonal music, this still sounds really nice 😊

Me, as a piano tuner... Can't imagine how hard that would be to tune👁️👄👁️
Not so much, you're tuning perfect major thirds all around.
Beautiful! the microtonal capabilities of that instrument is outstanding
this is the coolest thing ive ever heard
I dont dare want to imagine what the sheet music for this looks like
amazing job!!
also ps. listining to this drunk is crazy
I can't wrap my head around WHY did piano and keyboard made harpsichord obsolete. It's just... SO GOOD.
I think it's to do with volume.
This is taking over my life
Absolutely amazing, clean jazz microtonal harpsichord
¡Qué belleza de pieza! Amo tus piezas microtonales. ❤❤ Espero sigas componiendo buena música con ese precioso instrumento. ❤❤

The best sounding microtonal music I’ve heard so far
Agreed
It's like Bach wearing a cap
すごく不思議だけど、心地いい。散歩したくなる素敵な曲🫶💕

I’d like to listen to a full version!
Microtonal samba, a thing that I needed but I didn't knew it lol.
At first I just thought this was a piano with weird colored keys but now I realize it's one of the most difficult instruments in the world to play. The pitch sounds good
Is this really harder than even the violin? By and large it should be comparable to the piano, just with a much higher skill ceiling.
Ugh I love these types of instruments especially when they’re uses for other creative genres that aren’t just classical ❤❤
microtonal music will always be so natural and unnatural at the same time i love it
GEORG YOU ABSOLUTE GOD 🔥🔥🔥
They should make pianos like this
They absolutely should.
Chaotic but somewhat beautiful
you did a great job.
