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.

Four distinct randomized tone rows from an 88-note octave with timing generated from Morse code. DAW: Cubase Pro by SteinbergVST: Kontakt & Absynth from Native Instruments; Serum from Xfer Records
Drone root 100 Hz with generative 53-EDO tetrads in range 200 to 400 Hz. Spectrogram Visuals from iZotope Insight 2 DAW: Cubase Pro from Steinberg VST: Serum 2 from Xfer Records
Inspiration came from this busted-up piano seen on the side of the road. Figured it would be fun to create a virtual piano that sounds as horrible as possible in its honor. Method:I googled, “What are the worst EDOs?” and was given the following summary sourced from r/microtonal Reddit: “Based on community discussions, the “worst”…
Generative ethereal atonal ambient music featuring an Equal Hz tuning system of 7 Hz/step. The frequency range for this composition is built from a Harmonic series segment from 42 Hz to 672 Hz (91 possible notes) in steps of 7 Hz increments (Fundamental 7 Hz). This chosen range intentionally models the range of an Electric…
A polymicrotonal synth demo in four different tunings simultaneously. The individual patches are pure Sine Waves; clashing and colliding without effects or processing. The chorusing, beating, vibrato, and tremolo are the result of the overlapping temperaments. The layered temperaments are all centered at C4 Note 60: 19 EDO, 20 EDO, 21 EDO, 22 EDO. DAW:…
Exploration of microtonality and modulations in multiple simultaneous temperaments and textures. Featuring layered microtonal tunings generated in the 4xEDO Reaktor Synth: 7ed7, 11ed11, 12ed12, 13ed13. Q. Should tunings with less than 12 equal divisions per octave be called macrotonal?
This poly-microtonality demo features chords simultaneously routed into four separate microtonal synths. Each synth plays the same patch while scripted to be in a different EDO, or equal division of the octave. The four microtonal temperaments used are 19 EDO, 20 EDO, 21 EDO, and 22 EDO. Instead of having all the synths layered and…
