Microtonal Music

Network:
Language: English
Category: Music / Music General
Visit Website

This is a podcast that plays microtonal music, which is music that exploits tuning systems that are different from the standard 12 tone to the octave scale that's dominated Western Music for the past 500 years. On each show, I'll say a few words, then play a piece composed by one of many modern microtonal composers. I hope that this exposure will help you understand a little more of the world between the 2:1 and the 1:1.

Some Neo-Medieval Music
Today I'm going to play about a half an hour of music by an assortment of composers who have posted announcements of their pieces on the Yahoo Group, Make Micro Music. This is a mailing list of composers who like to make microtonal music, like to talk about making microtonal music, and like to let others of similar interest listen to their work. If you are listening to this podcast, I'd recommend that you join the group to be notified when someone has created a new piece. I've accumulated a ton ...

Make Microtonal Music Day 2006 - Part 2
In part two of the Microtonal Music Day 2006 podcast, we're going to hear from 12 more microtonal composers, in another feast of microtonality. As I said in yesterday's installment, this podcast is a result of the efforts of dozens of composers and musicians who feel that microtonal music deserves wider recognition. The idea was hatched on the Making Microtonal Music Yahoo Groups mailing list, and has grown thanks to the efforts of that group. The idea is to pick a day, and just "flood the ...

Microtonal Solo Piano Music
I have a real treat for today's podcast. I'm going to play four different microtonal pieces by four different composers, all for solo piano. Each was done using a different set of techniques to retune the piano, with different intonation systems, and all showcase the world between the 1:1 and the 2:1. The first is by Aaron Krister Johnson, with a piece called Study for Kyle Gann. Here's what Aaron wrote about the piece: In honor of his wonderful neo-Nancarrow work on the 'Studies for Disklavie...

Balloon Drum Music
Thanks MarkToday's podcast is has a performance on my latest piece, called Balloon Drum Music. It is scored for Balloon Drums, Oboe, Flutes, Guitar, and Finger Piano. The piece starts out with a simple chord progession for the winds, with finger piano bass, that sounds sort of like this:Bb majorEb majorG minorand so on.When it is played, it sounds like a conventional progression. But in actuality, the chords are from the Partch Tonality Diamond, and their names in Sagittal notation are shown ont...

Flowing/falling water is the theme of the piece, including an actual working 'fountain' on stage that dancers go into. Water sounds we...
