Blues is inherently a microtonal genre. Most of what this dude played was 12TET with bits of microtonal thrown in… which is the same as done on, for instance, a guitar with microtonal bends, slides etc. I would say about 95% of this performance was not microtonal.
@rp64 A "4-chord song" is not just any song that uses four different chords in total. It usually refers to songs that repeat a four chord sequence over and over, like e.g. Radiohead's Creep, or the multitude of songs that use the I-V-vi-IV progression. A "5-chord song" in this context would be one that repeats a five chord progression. House Of The Rising Song doesn't do that. It goes like this: i-III-IV-VI i-III-V-V7 i-III-IV-VI i-V-i-V It also worth noting that the number of chords in a piece of music doesn't tell you anything about its complexity. Or beauty.
@@Jacob_Junge Yeah I get all of that I'm just not being a nerd about shit when a person clearly just means "this simple old song". I actually rather like the song too but I wasn't offended by what they said about this very nice microtonal version. Yes though, fewer chords is less complex than more chords. But like you said it also doesn't tell you anything about something's beauty necessarily.
.@rp64 I'm proud to be a nerd about music and language, and johngodbey2365 was clearly using "4-chord song" derogatorily. And wrongly. _fewer chords is less complex than more chords_ Chord complexity is just one element. The opening 140 bars of Wagner's Ring cycle is built one a single chord, and while I wouldn't say I particularly like it, I also wouldn't call it lacking in complexity. Also, are you counting E and E7 as one chord?

Yes most players I've seen make good use of their thumbs. The folks we've talked to said that while a little adaptation from a piano is obviously necessary, it wasn't a reinvention of their fingering intuition as a piano player and in a lot of ways it's an elevation. Everything has strengths and weaknesses but the learning curve from a fingering standpoint -- while different for everyone -- is quite manageable and even kind of exciting!
@@kmoney10101 They're saying his playing is mostly 'in tune', meaning he's mostly using the notes of the 31-tone scale that are the ones that are closest to the 12-tone scale. So your ear is able to follow along pretty easily. He does sprinkle in some of the 'xenharmonic' outside notes in places, however he does it subtly and not as often as other microtonal players. He uses them like adding a spices to food. You wouldn't like a meal if it was entirely made of spices. But having just the right amount added to something you already like can make it different in a good way.

Look and listen closer. Some seriously subtle uses of microtonality that to our ears are some of the best reasons to want more notes than 12. Microtonality shouldn’t be about sounding the weirdest. It should be about sounding musical, whatever that means to the artist. There are no rules, there are no note quotas. This is about making something beautiful. As for peaking, nothings perfect, maybe you’re just looking for things to criticize? ✌️
@@consensusg9226 exactly. Guitar is microtonal. Violin is microtonal. Keyboards haven’t been, until now. Also gotta stress, Lumatone isn’t just about microtonality! More Lumatone owners than ever purchase theirs because of how much magic its different playing modes bring to their non-microtonal, 12 tone work.
Even if you stick to just the naturals and sharps in 31edo, you have access to all sorts of microtonal intervals and chords. For example, the difference between F and G# is 7 steps in 31edo, a subminor 3rd. F-C-A-D# forms a full Harmonic 7th chord. You also get weirder intervals like a wolf fifth between A# and F, and an 'ultramajor' triad of F-A#-C. (Ultramajor third isn't that common of a term, but it's the term Zhea Erose uses in her video on Mothra[6], and I think it fits 12 steps in 31, which is both an augmented 3rd and a subfourth.)
Hoje descobri aqui os microtonais e é mesmo muito estranho parece com ouvir música de uma caixa de som com defeito ou uma estação mal sintonizada de rádio!
As impressive as I find the skills, the soundscape is very monotonous without accompaniment or processing. Is the sound a file or an analog setting? It seemed mushy when too many notes were layered too quickly. I wanted to like this more than I feel I was able to.
I imagine this was likely an electric piano patch on some sort of physical modelling software synth. One that uses a bunch of math to model the physics of something like a Rhodes electric piano. The mushiness you're hearing is probably because the sound is being overdriven, causing harmonic distortion, and it also seems to be mimicking the tremolo or 'rotating' speaker effect of many classic speakers. Both of which are quite common for the blues, as the resulting complex harmonics and warbly sound give it a raw, passionate edge that you wouldn't have with a cleaner sound. Almost as if the passionate wail of the player is too much for the instrument to handle, causing it to break down. It's an acquired taste for sure, but one that is quite in line with the aesthetics of the genre.
And just to be clear, while this is likely being done digitally, both the overdrive and tremolo effects are very analog in origin, and used to be done using tube amps and analog speakers before they were ever re-created digitally. Which this sounds like a very faithful reproduction of, one which most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference from the real thing. (Other than all the microtonal notes, which AFAIK have never been done in an actual EP before.)
@@ch1caumActually no. Most accordions with the hexagonal buttons use a vertical layout called Wicki-Hayden, this is a horizontal layout called Bosenquet-Wilson. While you can switch between either and more on the Lumatone, the Bosenquet-Wilson layout shown here seems to be the more popular of the two on the Lumatone, likely due to its more horizontal form factor.
Inspiring performance! Thanks a bunch, Mike! As with a couple other performances, I’m not sure about the use of distortion, but again, that’s a minor question either way. Just FWIW, one intriguing way I’ve noticed to add _subtle_ xenharmonic flair to such a performance, regards the grace-note “scoops” into a note: specifically, to substitute the smaller chromatic semitones for diatonic. It gives those notes just a slight “oooo, what was that?” intrigue!
Honestly the distortion really works, it helps blend together and richen the already 'daring' notes that work so deviously together, and adds that dynamic bite that a wurlitzer shines with
Gary it’s just a Wurlitzer Sound .
