    I’d heard of 31TET waaaay back in 1977, but I hadn’t done much of anything with it until _Lumatone made it _*_so easy_*_ to work with_ !
    It’s an amazingly versatile and good-sounding tuning, and yet very easy too for both our ears and our minds to make sense of, as well as fertile ground for expression!
    Amelia here, as well as Mike Battaglia and others, demonstrate all of the above seemingly effortlessly!

      Hi Mr. Morrison. Yes, that was a great performance from Ms. Huff. So, who will set up your own 88-cent scale on the Lumatone and improvise with it? I composed for electric guitar for Melle Weijters in your scale, which you may find here: ruclips.net/video/xlMxRzu4cB0/видео.html&pp=ygUjdG9kZCBoYXJyb3AgbWVsbGUgd2VpanRlcnMgc3Vuc2hpbmU%3D

      @@puffinwrangler7557, nice … “atmospheric,” for lack of a better term … guitar work! Is that 41TET? It’s challenging enough to _count_ the frets let alone play them, but the frets look closer together than what I’d expect for 31?
      For whatever it’s worth, I find that 88CET tuning maps to a traditional keyboard nicely, provided that I can map out the G#/Ab. You can then have a circle of fifths rotating through a 7:4 subminor 7th, which “looks like” the octave in notation. So then, you get from that a system of “pseudo-diatonic” scales and “pseudo-keys.”
      Lumatone makes it really easy to map out the G#/Ab key, but with a comparatively-large step size of 88c, it’s probably more convenient to have the larger keys of a traditional keyboard.

In a way, i feel like ive always been looking for music like this- but its hard to find beautiful music that INCLUDES those dissonant (as our brainwashed ears hear it) tones without being overwhelmed by them or noisy.

      You can remap the frequencies of any digital keyboard / piano with midi support, some even allow you to do so straight in the instrument. Of course it'll limit the number of octaves and you'll have to re-learn the tone layouts.

      The awesome microtonal artist Sevish created a website that lets you choose/create any tuning you want, and export it in a number of formats that are accepted by various VST synths. I think my comment would get deleted if I put the link in it, but it shouldn't be too hard to find. And then yeah, you can just play it on a regular MIDI keyboard. Although I did learn the hard way that 31TET is very difficult to play on a normal keyboard without giant hands...

  • @ezequielgerstelbodoha9492
    @ezequielgerstelbodoha9492 7 месяцев назад +3

    As much as I like the 31 EDO system, and pieces like this one, there's an important factor that is lost: the symmetry. The fact that the diminished seventh chord belongs to 4 different keys helps the ear to accept dissonances more easily, and to modulate smoothly into different tonalities, not mentioning that this symetric use of the mediants has been really important for the development of modern jazz.
    I think that as 31 EDO might be useful sometimes in jazz for creating some new tensions, I would rather like it to found its own sound and natural development, being an independent style of music

    • @alexr3912
      @alexr3912 26 дней назад +1

      the modulations you mention actually still work similarly. if i wanted to use a Bdim7 to modulate from C to F#, i still could, it just may be an F# minor or supermajor key specifically, as then the F in Bdim7 would be the supermajor seven of F#, and D would be the minor sixth. in the same way, you could easily modulate to Gb major or subminor.

      you have to listen with a different attitude. Don't expect a pretty tune, but brace for intense clashes of tones. Like bracing down before eating something spicy for the first time, you should take a deep breath and try to taste all the unfamiliar flavors.

      I see it as trying a cup of coffee for the first time. At least for me, I hated the taste of coffee but stuck with trying to keep tasting it here and there. Now I have a palette that allows for coffee to surprise, astound and delight me. Different musical temperaments are really outside of the palette we're surrounded by and used to in the west, as Abby already said. Maybe you may surprise yourself with what you come to enjoy about it over time if you give it another try here and there!

      @Persun_McPersonson Год назад +10

      If you're trained on a single tuning your entire life, then a wildly different tuning like this will sound unnatural and out of tune. It takes purposeful self-exposure an alternate tuning in order for your mind to adapt to it and see it in a similar way to 12TET.

      @leftaroundabout Год назад +12

      But what is "in tune"? It depends on what you're used to. To me, the pinnacle of intonation are good string quartets, Barbershop singers and similar, who use mostly just intonation. Compared to that, 12-edo instruments like standard piano actually are always a bit out of tune. 31-edo can get much closer to JI, though of course with that many notes it can also do stuff that's brutally dissonant.
