      That is such a heart-warming sentiment, I feel the same. Strangely familiar to be making microtonal music alongside you.

    The septimal flavors are very apropos, and the subtle hints of upper harmonies are nice too. The adjacent melodic microtones are attention getting

      Thanks man! The sub-minor/harmonic seventh combo is very nice.. Flatting the minor to 7/6 gives a more dusty feel and melodically it kinda 'speaks' nicely together with the 19/17 second. Plus now you have more room between the maj and min third when you stack 'm. Since this piece emphasizes the clash between maj/min (giving that eerie sensation of not knowing where you are), that extra space is kinda nice in an unfamiliar way.

      @@benyamind Yeah i wonder what it would sound like to alternate between minor and subminor thirds and sevenths? Less room but more subtle, highlighting the difference between pental and septimal harmony. I already know about alternation between major and minor thirds (12edo i think, pure pental would be nicer), a music track by the musical genius Chris Hülsbeck for the old Amiga game Turrican (second world, can't remember the name of the tune) uses this to great eerie effect.

      This is the one. Don't know if it is microtonal but i bet i would sound wonderful in a carefully chosen 5-limit or 7-limit just intonation tuning.

      Thank you for your words! I'm actually in the process of making a microtonal album, been working on it for more than a year now... hopefully soon to be released!

    I'm quite amazed! The initial part of the guitar is brilliant, really!
    This song has something special. Relaxing / unsettling effect. I heard it twice to be sure :)
    Good work continues. In general I like everything you produce, but this one stands out for its clear "uncertainty" in the sound. Well-crafted microtuning reaches places that are not audible in the light of reality.

    • @benyamind
      @benyamind  4 года назад +3

      I was wondering how this one would hit people you know, because of the micro-modulations and large amounts of deviations from what we are used to. I mean, in theory it shouldn't be 'weird', because I am definitely working with consistent concepts and very in tune individual intervals.. but you never know what happens when you deviate so far from 'normal' tonally. I mean, I follow what I do because I am deep in the process.. but I am always aware that I can be making something that people simply won't vibe to. This one felt like one of those pieces balancing on a thin line between sanity and insanity. : )

    • @MacacoDoSistema
      @MacacoDoSistema 4 года назад +1

      haha, better said it was impossible. I find this sound brilliant to your "vibe". And I understand this question of whether people like it or not, but for me, what really stands out about musicians is their originality and creation. This song is marked by its difference, and that "uncertainty" "uncertain" (
      in a good and balanced way) is what makes it so special. Keep up the good work :)

      @@benyamindthanks man, i appreciate the experimentation. But i think I’ve learned that 24-TET is about the limit of my tolerance for xenharmonic song writing and even then it only works in certain songs. As a guitar player used to standard tunings, I perceive most xenharmony as out of tune and it feels unsettling.
