[Csnd] Newish piece...

Subject[Csnd] Newish piece...
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'.

I hope you do enjoy it; comments welcome.

Nice, i like it.
as a classical guitar player (i.e. tuned :) ) it takes me some mental
effort.

Thanks.
ciao,
francesco.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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
