Thank you everyone and thanks to Matt for having me! Was a lot of fun. For those asking, yes, this is 31-EDO, and I used the NI Kontakt Scarbee A-200 for the Wurlitzer sound and Surge XT for most of the synth patches in the background. The various synth patches that fade in when I adjust the mod wheel, foot pedal, and the three special yellow Lumatone keys I set up, are all sending various custom CCs which change the volume of these layers. Glad you all like it; we have two more of these and stay tuned for the next ones!
Does this use many notes that don't have 12-TET analogs? I'm asking because almost all X-EDO tunes sound weird to me but this doesn't sound weird at all - sounds beautiful.
@@user-fw9nb6pk9m I had heard only 1 sample of Zheanna Erose before (and didn't remember the name -- looks like that's another whole channel I need to look up), but I can already definitely recommend Cam Taylor.
I don't really trust my ears in the world of microtonality, but I think this piece doesn't employ as many unusual intervals as most pieces out there, thus it soubds more familiar
Reminds me a bit of Michael Hedges with his "rain-like" dance of notes that builds up this partial sensorial numbing that simulates a quasi-spiritual experience. I love it
Accidental notes were invented around the 10th century, so people at that time at least knew the theory behind microtones and why and how to choose non natural notes to expand scales. Since then, these haven't caught on in ... uh over 1,000 years, so I wouldn't hold my breath.
@@gavinjenkins899 You know how ignorant you sound, right? I’m sure four wheels driven by some petrol-driven block of iron won’t catch on now. They’ve been around for some hundred years but why can’t people live with three or two wheels on their own foot power?
One of mike's performances many months ago is what inspired to get my own lumatone, I just love how mature he is with microtonality. I would love to see a breakdown of this patch and layout.
Oh HELL yeah! Start it off with bayati subminor 6, killing. The riff sounds gorgeous, great use of delay etc, it's like we're back in the 70's but with way better sound quality and technology. Did you record two tracks here, with that lower bass synth at the bottom? Or is that just a differently sculpted version of the same performance layered up? If you're using Pianoteq could I get you to send through your settings for this? It sounds glorious. Great playing of course as always, and very nice looking video! Keep it coming!
Ive long pondered buying a Lumatone and this video really made me take the plunge! Not that ill be able to play anywhere near this good. But I am going to have one of the greatest adventures in my life playing with it! So stoked!
got lost in the delay but the soundscapes are really good with such a good player. Well done! Only at times it sounded recognisably microtonal… maybe well performed indeed.
No it's because Mike's rendition is phenomenal, all of his sounds are perfect, and his use of extra funky notes is extremely tasteful and well placed. He also kinda bends them by overlaying with surrounding notes where most people are just playing them straight, it doesn't really sound good when people try to do that. Funky notes should be funky
Thank goodness. Mindestens haben wir ein bisschen mehr Spielzeug als im vergangenen Jahrhundert. Da haben wir unsere Poppeln gegessen aus purer Verzweiflung 🤷🏻♀️
By far the most important neurological development of human civilization was the piano keyboard because it organized human hand dexterity with pitch in even ratios. Nice to see that human civilization can still evolve the brain amist all of the cacaphony!
Hey Mike -- I have to ask since talent tends to run in families. Are you kin to Richard Battaglia that does all of Bela Fleck's audio engineering? Saw the name and was wondering. As for the video -- great work as always...you really bring out the best in any tuning you approach and I love it.

This is possibly the most stunning performance I've ever heard
Agree! Me too!!!

I can't figure out exactly what's going on but I think I just experienced microtonal music that I actually seriously enjoyed.

That's how it starts, welcome to the rabbit hole :P
Yes.Yes, you did...

Most electric guitar music has microtones also if there’s any bends or vibrato those have microtones in them
Beautiful usage of 31
That tonality you hear around 0:30 is B Bayati, so the notes are B C-half-sharp D E over a B minor chord.

Nice, I think the 31-EDO really brings it out! I could immediately tell this wasn’t 12-EDO

None of these words are in the Bible
think about what you said 😔
Fuck yeah Mike !!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yooooo Nyel Lee! Long time no see and thank you man, hope things are going well! 🙏
@@MikeBattagliaMusic You still got it man. Things are going great, love ya 3000, Mike!!!
God this sounds so *natural* in 31 EDO! :O
Gaddamn, Mike. This instrument was made for you.
What gorgeous sonic wizardry is this
I have no words... only tears in front of such a beauty!
I can't get over the fact how good this is. Breathtaking performance Mike!
This is the future of music.

This song transports me to another world

That’s why they sponsor him.
This made me lowkey emotional
I want to be able to relike this on every listen.
Holy shit
Great performance. Glad to hear some 31,so masterfully done!
Hell yes, any time I see something new from Mike I know it's going to be a good day. Amazing, as always!
Awesome
whoa dude, freakin awesome!

Great playing of course as always, and very nice looking video!
Keep it coming!
2:36 ! Gorgeous
Beautiful
EPIC
Awesome work, Mike!
31TET, being audibly identical with QC Meantone is a perfect choice for a “Renaissancy” tune like Scarborough Fair!
Mike flarping crushing it - as always. Stellar quality, thanks for this!
absolutely phenomenal performance and note choices sir. #bows#
Very nice piece and performance.
OMG. Yes. I would love one.
Spectacular
Scarborough Fair sur son 31 ! Génial !
Wonderful! More!
THIS IS AMAZING! looking forward to see more :)
Love this! Keep up the great work my friend!
absolutely gorgeous!
Ive long pondered buying a Lumatone and this video really made me take the plunge!
Not that ill be able to play anywhere near this good.
But I am going to have one of the greatest adventures in my life playing with it!
So stoked!
Parsley, Sage, Rosmary, Thyme, plus around a dozen herbs somewhere between...
Album when?!
This is so freakin cool
Great player and great instrument!!!
Another amazing performance
Wow - this is stunning work. Beautiful!
This is beautiful!!
Beast
Totally amazing performance!
So glad I subbed to this channel! Keep going!!!

Beautiful harmonies and epic timbres 👏
"Hexagonal keyboard isn't real, he can't hurt you"
Hexagonal keyboard:
3:41 - niice
would be even more great if u add pitch bend and velocity sensitive aftertouch to each key-just an idea
Infinitamente hermoso.
Profundo y exquisito.
Considereme por favor su devoto seguidor.
This keyboard reminds me of Falcors scales. (The dragon dog from Never Ending Story.)
That sound.. How do i get it
Did I hear some House of the Rising Sun in there?
Awesome performance! Great choice of themes and tuning. Good cinematography too.
I personally not so sure about the distortion pedal though…
Is the reason this sounds so good is because this song is older than equal temperment so it would normally have these in between notes?

Would love to hear this with less delay and distortion

would be interesting to hear with less reverb
so good. i love scarborough fair!!
