Hey all, I though some of you might be interested in this piece. It uses the older soundfont code (e.g. sfplay) and a Yamaha-P200 soundfont I designed many years ago, and it's an impressionistic piano work in 46edo. I wrote the piece over several months, and the score was produced by my own Python script, 'microcsound'. |

Nice, i like it. as a classical guitar player (i.e. tuned :) ) it takes me some mental effort. Thanks. ciao, francesco. -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/Newish-piece-tp5732689p5732691.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Thanks for the piece, I do like the way the tuning creates extra ebba and flow. I'm somewhat unfamiliar with listening to alternate tunings but found in this one an image of curved space somehow. Thanks. Oeyvind 2014-02-20 9:43 GMT+01:00 francesco |

Go on. Show us your code. It sounds very 'hand written' to have been generated by a script. I mean that as a complement by the way.On Thu, Feb 20, 2014 at 1:40 PM, Aaron Krister Johnson <aaron@akjmusic.com> wrote:

Good stuff, I really like this music. The detune sounds nice. If this reminded me of something, it would be Ferrucio Busoni's Fantasia but it sounds original. Did you use python for csound? -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/Newish-piece-tp5732689p5732718.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Very nice work! I like the 5 against 4 rhythms -- they fit the mood created by the shifting harmonies. I also appreciate the fact that this is real music, which is not something one can always say about microtonal explorations. It has, you know, a perceptible structure. The opening theme recurs. (Shockingly retro, I know.) Why 46? I like the sound of the triads and the occasional 7/4 interval, but what led you to choose it? Mostly I haven't gone beyond 31 (though I've poked at 53 a few times). Too many notes, and of course you can't get to most of them from the keyboard. -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/Newish-piece-tp5732689p5732727.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Thanks again for the additional comments... Thorin, it *is* hand written...no algorithms! Perhaps I should have been more clear: it's hand written as a score in the microcsound format, which (as a script) turns it into a Csound score. Jim asked why I chose 46-edo. 46 is one of those edos that has a lot of theoretical possibilities, but very little music has been written in it. I don't blame you for having not tried it! I've done work in as high as 171-edo, but the purity vs. difficulty thing starts showing diminishing returns. I've given myself the new boundary of not ever wanting/needing to go beyond 53 (or 41 should be good enough for most purposes). But, I guess you could say, I wanted to fill that gap in the 'repertoire'... :) Cheers, AKJ -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/Newish-piece-tp5732689p5732746.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |
