Notes and intervals determined by the position of the Globular Clusters using the Equatorial Coordinate System (Right Ascension and Declination). 29 of the 110 Messier Objects are Globular Clusters Method: Converted the Right Ascension value into a one-octave range from 0h to 24h Converted the Declination value to a one-octave range from 90° to -90°…
The long week ends with a horned beginning. So I felt the need to complete something simple before the clock struck midnight. Microtuned VSTs: Gentle Brass from Fracture Sounds & Kontour Reaktor from Native InstrumentsDAW: Cubase Pro by SteinbergVideo: Adobe After Effects Tracked live in 15-EDO on a 49-key M-Audio MIDI keyboard 15 EDO means…
Downtempo instrumental TFF cover performed, programmed, and produced in standard tuning (12-EDO), but then revised with all synths scripted to be microtonal in 48-EDO. 48-EDO means the octave is compressed to the width of a minor third (4 times as narrow). This creates an intentionally monotone melody that thrives on being severely out of tune….
Converting the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions into strange atonal polymicrotonal music. The overlapping tunings are 28-EDO and another 28-note octave of varying intervals depending on the Right Ascension (RA) position of the determinative stars for each mansion (the lunar mansions are not equally spaced along the ecliptic). The music is abstract and weird, yes, but it…
This music is generated from a single-octave 13-note dissonant interval scale. The structure is an ascending arpeggio spanning three octaves with all notes randomized within their dedicated octave. The thirteen notes of the scale were determined by using the Plomp-Levelt / Sethares sensory roughness model. Mathematically speaking, they are the ‘most dissonant’ frequency intervals for…
I became inspired to create something using the MOST dissonant intervals. Using the Plomp and Levelt model to create a single-octave dissonance curve, I notated points where the slope was zero (visually, these are the peaks). The points were then sorted by dissonance value to find the five most-dissonant intervals. By including the root, a…
Non-octave equal step tuning based upon the synodic orbital period of the Moon. The synodic lunar month is the number of days between New Moon cycles, approximately 29.531 days. This is different from the approximate 27.323 days the Moon takes to orbit the Earth. Composed on a standard MIDI keyboard with VST synths scripted to…
Created a video for the entire album to drone on for about 50 minutes, no interruptions. Super spacey, tons of tones, ethereal and dissonant vibes. Or, just enjoy the visuals and listen to whatever you like 🫠 A quick blurb about each track with video playback start times: Count Pogson’s Court 0:00 Tuning temperament is…
Release date July 29, 2026 distributed to Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube Music, Tidal etc. 100% self-produced synthetic ambient soundscapes. FFO the spooky and trippy vibes and ritualistically dark dissonance. No beats, just ethereal escapism from the grinds of modern life.
Synthetic audio sketch inspired by the million things running through my mind every moment of the day. An attempt to explain exists in the Closed Captions
