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.

Goofing around with 192-EDO to enable an excuse to experiment with new toys and techniques all day. 192-EDO is defined as 192 Equal Division of the Octave, or an octave with 192 notes. A 32nd tone is the size of the step in this temperament (6.25 cents / step). DAW: Cubase Pro from SteinbergVSTs: Serum2…
Aleatoric Music (a.k.a. Chance Music, or Indeterminate Music) uses randomization techniques to assist in the composition process. For this demo, a deck of cards, pulled in pairs, is used to determine a series of dyads (two-note chords). Each bar contains two pitches, each in its own rhythmic tuplet determined by the value of the card….
The idea was to create chord changes from the same MIDI chord pad by changing the tuning temperament every measure. The default MIDI pattern is a D augmented riff in 12-EDO. This pattern is then coprime-cycled through 30 different microtonal octave divisions between 6-EDO and 36-EDO (all centered at C4, Note 60). Reason for doing…
A demonstration presenting a method for creating music from color. This piece utilizes an octave of 256 equal divisions to match the 0-255 values found in RGB codes. Triads, or chords, are formed from the individual Red, Green, and Blue values derived from a five-color palette extracted from an image. The triads for the RGB…
Improvisational exploration of the neutral intervals; the ups and downs; the mids, supers and subs; the quartertones; the über and unter; the notes between the notes; the vibe between major and minor.
