Had an idea to perform in two tuning systems at the same time, but have them modulate up and down in volume, taking turns being dominant.
The tunings are the standard 12 Equal Divisions of the Octave (logarithmic), and a tuning with each step being the same frequency value (arithmetic or harmonic).
The stats for the two tunings:
- The 12 EDO range contains 36 steps spanning from 110 Hz to 880 Hz (three octaves from A2 to A5), with each step being 100 cents in width.
- The Equal Hz division range is layered over those same 36 steps from 110 Hz to 880 Hz, but with each step being 28.388889 Hz in width [770/36 Hz].
The music video performance is recorded live into Cubase with the volume of each tuning modulating up and down in opposing phase every dotted half note (1/2D at 94 BPM). In other words, the different tunings slowly blend in and out of each other approximately every second; the longer the note duration, the more noticeable this effect becomes.
Like many of the strange ideas I have, they may not be practical, but I am having fun exploring what they sound like.

Sevish has a great post explaining both the Arithmetic and Logarithmic Equal Divisions of the Octave
