- Xenharmonic bass music ~ from Sevish's album Bubble [2021]
Is there a certain topic you'd like me to make a video about? I'm open to suggestions.
There are new musical projects that I'm already working on. It takes me a while to finish things because I also have a full time job to manage. Right now things are going okay.

Ah yes sevishs music also known as pleasant brain tingles.
22edo becomes more and more beautiful for me, great music
Btw that fractal looks fun too, is that kaleidoscopic ifs? Would love to see flight-through animation actually :D
I can't remember, I think it was called 4D something, though I didn't do anything with the w-axis! I will try a flythrough at some point though for this video I wanted to try something very flat, simple and stylised
@@Sevish It does look aesthetic, and making your own graphics for music is so cool
I love this!
I'm curious if you or anyone you know does atonal microtonality? I think the things that make music musical are often sacrificed in atonality, but I don't think that has to always be the case. I believe a marriage of progressing atonal algorithms and traditional resolution ideas could work beautifully in microtonal compositions.
Thank you for your music!!

Realized halfway through I was listening to this at 2x. Wasn't even questioning it because... ya know... Sevish.
I love all of your stuff but 22edo has a special place in my heart, super pleasing, keep it up dude!
Thanks!
As a sound-color synesthete, I am absolutely in love with your music! There are colors and textures that I've never seen anywhere else, and I'm always hyped whenever you drop a new track. :D
Really nice use of the 11/8 and 11/5 approximations available in 22-edo. Intervals with 11 as a prime factor seem to produce a pretty distinctive kind of tingling in my head. It's kind of similar to the effect that 7 has, but there's something more delicate about it.
It sounds icy, and alien.
Leave a comment and like his music or else you'll have to listen to ONLY 12EDO for the rest of your life... And we all know we don't want that ❤
truth
i could survive just because of the vast amount of music created in (or newly arranged into) 12 edo (all the way back to renaissance europe), but life would not be as complete, for sure.
Cool cool
shits in fear
hands down my absolute favorite track from the album I love this so much
Dont trust glottal stop
y tho
@@glottalstop2080 i love you
ʔ: _"That's untrue. You can trust me guys."_
@@kermanne3549 i love you more
@@_Killkordo u actually know what my username means tho? (just asking?)
I do wish you would add more of your music to Spotify. I would listen to you at work more often :D
This track was really nice especially the harminizations around 2:20 and the drum drop near 2:40 was awesome buildup for the true climax at the halfway point.
Your arrpegios sound great in general too; you're so freaking trippy lol
Anything in particular you would want me to add to Spotify? I have most things on there already. And glad you enjoyed the track :)
@@Sevish Thanks for responding! I couldn't find Earthling (Microtonal) there, but between the time I posted and this post my Spotify updated, and I'm finding many more of your songs now lol. I'll edit this after I find out what else was missing
@@rtbeerzi I had the same issue! I looked at his spotify and didn't see an album I wanted, but I asked and he said it was on there, and lo and behold! Spotify is weird like that.
Synaesthetic.
Contact.
Thank you so much for transmitting.
Great as always, love some 22edo
To me this song feels like running through a fractal of thoughts unraveling in my mind, as I ponder upon the biggest questions about our existence and the Universe. Are we a part of something bigger? Where does it end? Does it even end? This sort of amazing, expansive feeling.
Love hearing your impressions, thanks for sharing
Are we part of something bigger? Yes
Where does it end? Never
Does it even end? No... :D
Also have you ever thought about how similar thought exploration is to fractal expanse? The mindscape of thought would reflect the nature of fractal systems being without finite measure. Your noggin is a Mandelbrot, brether!
I would love to see some of your music over some bladerunner-type movie scenes, great stuff honestly
Very Aphex, but also very Sevish. Keep it up! :)
Grandiose!
just curious; did you use harmonium wii (or tonematrix) for this?
I haven't used those before
Was painful to be the 257th like. I swear all you other nerds were just like, nah man the 256th integer is just too special for me to defile.
@Firstname Lastname refreshing in what way; like a Sprite or an Orangina?
Yeah, 2^2^(2+2/2) or 256 is such a cool number.
2:40 That's Blade Runner's Los Angeles for me, rushing through its skyscrapers in a flying car...
I'm curious about the thought process behind the track names; for example, what made you choose the name "Some things must" for this track? Does it represent something special to you, if anything?
P.S.: Consider the last question a potential topic for a video, if you like 😄
P.P.S.: On second thought, I would totally play it on a WipeOut videogame. It's just perfect
The 7th track on this album is named "Some Things Must Reprise". It's quite cool what he did with the titles there.
@@_Killkor Yeah! That's actually my fave of the album lol
@@Project2100 Indeed. The short "Reprise" feels like a haunting distant memory of this track. As if one was trying to relive moments from their past in their mind, but all the experience gathered along the way alters the picture a bit. And as memories go, it quickly fades in and out.
Yeah actually I do have some thoughts on naming tracks... I think it's unfortunate that every single track must be assigned a name. Because to me these tracks capture some feeling or impression I was working towards. These feelings usually lack a specific meaning, and I hesitate to assign a name or meaning to such things after the fact, so I often choose deliberately vague names to avoid enforcing any specific interpretation. I hope this allows the piece of music to represent itself. Though for sure a few of my tracks carry some special meaning to me.
@@Sevish like what, though?
Thank you so much for so much music!
MIGHTY
💖
are you using a continuum for some of the octave glissandos?
I don't have a Continuum unfortunately. Some of the glissandi are programmed pitch-bend and others are portamento
Really enjoying the orchestration and instruments used in this one ! Huge fan of your stuff ! i'm always very happy to hear new uploads :)
Hey Sevish, I don't know if this is the best place to ask this, but I was wondering if you were considering or if you will consider making another remix album like 3 remixes.
I would love to - that would be so fun. But I'm not planning in my upcoming creative cycle for another remix project. I have a bunch of other ideas in my head at the moment. And sure this is a fine place to ask questions!
@@Sevish Thanks for replying. If you want some ideas for artists to remix (besides more well known microtonal artists like Brendan Byrnes, Xotla, Benyamind, etc.), I recommend Microwave64 and gaia complex. Both of them are on bandcamp, but not on any other platform as far as I know.
hey! Love your music so much, so many cool ideas. Can't believe you manage to crank out so much cool stuff while still holding a day job, Maybe a video going through your process would be cool? I don't know if it would be a lot of work on top of what you already do, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's curious
i really like working with 22 edo, and listening to it! you always seem to do some magic with 22
Sevish man make spicy wiggly air brain like
i mean, you can make any temprament you want really. its just that most of them dont sound amazing to everyone. have you ever tried 17 equal? it sounds pretty nice
bruh are you really mansplaining temperaments to Sevish right now
@@mattbarrentine7056 that’s not what I meant to do. Maybe I formulated the comment in a bad way.
@@ml-w6130 fair enough, search for Sevish 17edo, he has a few
No worries, I didn't read any bad intention in this comment. :) Yes 17 equal can sound wonderful, I've done 2 or 3 tracks with it. Benyamind and Xotla have done cool things with it too
@@Sevish thanks, I’ve never heard of those guys, but I’ll check them out right now.
Nice. Now where can I find a 22edo piano?
well of course you can't, but if you don't mind the keyboard layout not making much sense, you can tune it to pajara[12] in 22edo and you will have all four decatonic modes
en.xen.wiki/w/Pajara12
en.xen.wiki/w/Pajara
"The 10-note MOS and LsssLsssss almost-MOS are called the symmetric and pentachordal decatonic scales and were independently invented/discovered by Paul Erlich and Gene Ward Smith. They are often thought of as subsets of 22edo, without much loss of generality and accuracy."
This is one of my favourites tracks in the album. So good melodies!!!!
From 02:59 on, it sounds sooo much like Aphex Twin, and I like it!
Once you see the faces in the fractal you can't unsee them. :)
Reminds me of Blobfish Evolution.
This might be a contrived statement, but I really dig the deep Squarepusher vibes on this one, it's so lucious both in the skittering, light percussion and the gliding synths (and ofc that acid)
Did you know that Rectilinear projection is not the only way to project a 3D scene onto a 2D screen?
When appropriate, you should consider using more obscure 3D projections like Panini, Stereographic, Mercator, Fisheye, Hammer or others.
Many of them actually look as strange as microtonal music sounds.
Mandelbulber doesn't seem to have many options for projections, but I will try to mess with them more in future, thanks!
This one is really tight
The part before the breakbeat kinda has a Purity Ring vibe
Are you the reincarnation of Aphex Twin
You’re visuals are second-to-motherfucking-none. Amazing job
Sounds of the solar system...
love the bell type timbres, very cool fm-y sounds too
This mix is so clean! That shaker took care of an itch in my right eardrum \m/
This might be my favorite composition that you've released so far. Nice job!
0 dislikes. epic
Thank you sevish for relesing such great work
Hey Sevish, what kinds of VSTs do you find most helpful for building xenoharmonic music? Are there any particular ones that you find you rely on?
These days I'm using mostly TAL-Sampler, Vital and Pianoteq. But there are so many options, it's very much an individual choice
@@Sevish Cool, thanks! Pianoteq seems a bit out of my price range, but the other two seem very affordable and I'll be sure to check them out
Some good free options are Surge and Dexed
Another gem. Love the arrangement of this piece.
It would work so well in a movie !!
I listen to this before going to nap, when I wake up I'll prepare my lugagge for my first trip back to my hometown to see the family I haven't seen for two whole years.
That's lovely. Happy reunion!
How do you get the fractal visualisations? Which software do you use to render them? or something like that.
Mandelbulber is what I'm using
22 EDO... That must mean that SMTR is in... an equal temperament! Now which one might it be?
Also 22edo
@@Sevish lmao
Ive been extremely hooked on Sevish's music for the past year or so since I discovered Gleam on my spotify weekly suggestions.
normally a rock and metal guy but this music is just incredible.
bought every album to date and they keep getting better each time!
ive tried to show this music to a lot of friends. only one person has liked it so far. almost everyone i show it to says it sounds something along the lines of "garbage noises that sound shit and are musically terrible in every way"
id like to hear some sevish stuff that plays around with polyrhythms/polymeters on top of the awesome tunings and interesting time signatures. that would blow my mind even harder
Your friends sound like they have awful taste lol
Hey Nautilus, I appreciate you buying the albums and trying to show this music to your friends. Yeah I've noticed my music doesn't appeal to many people! My wife for example thinks it is just noises. Anyway, that's why it's special to me when some folks do enjoy what I'm doing, because it feels like maybe they have a similar perspective on music to me. Happy listening :)
@@Sevish it's always happy listening 😁
Hey Sevish, I got some SCL file packs that contain selections of tones from EDO tunings, but I never found a pack that contains them in their entirety so that I can do the selecting within the writing process, do you happen to know of a convenient source? I've got some cool ideas like focusing on the intervals from 5EDO while actually using some other tuning that just contains them, sometimes when I listen to that tuning I love the stability and sense of evenness but want it to go different, more dissonant/tense places too.
I built a web app that should let you export this kind of scale. Try sevish.com/scaleworkshop and let me know what you think. I also did a simple tutorial for it on my channel some months ago
@@Sevish Thank you! I was aware but hoping there were some pre-packaged resources that went under my radar haha, but shouldn't be too hard to create a bunch of simple EDO tunings myself.
To be honest I'm not sure where you might find ready made scl files for the EDOs! Sounds like you're ready to roll your own though. On SW you can go new > equal temperament and then export > scl, that's it
@@Sevish Awesome, thx for all the help! And for the music that inspired me to get into all this, of course.
Colorful harmonic sounds were always my favorite thing, even just 12EDO keeps surprising me when I find a sequence of contrasting modes etc., but microtonality and timbre just explode the possibilities, even ordinary diatonic triads sound magical.
duuude - it's awesome !!
As for the melodic parts of the Sevish's music it's fantastic, but the drums are boring as fuck.
Got any tips for me?
@@Sevish You are too generous, even responding to such a ridiculous comment
I love this song. Probably will be my favorite of 2021, so inspiring and well done. Not only the composition is great but the synths are awesome, that bell sound is amazing and reminds me a lot of XMAS_EVET10 from Aphex Twin (which I also love, wouldn't be surprised if you took some inspiration). Great job, I'm glad I can experience this.
