  3. Today's microcomposition for Kite Guitar and voice: youtube.com/shorts/d2YHp3gUspk

    I've been challenging myself to write more music, even if it's short (hence "micro"). This one is doubly "micro" as it's #microtonal, written in a downminor (7-limit JI approximation) key. I hope you enjoy!

  7. Monday's #ambient #improv on #microtonal #justIntonation #guitar went up last night. Wind instrument timbres, consonant intervals with some spicy close intervals as well. A soundtrack for viewing an unfamiliar landscape. $0/name-your-price at snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-

    Our project in progress contains structural compositions based on 7-to-23-limit Just Intonation, derived from the harmonic analysis of bioacoustic data.

    The 7-limit Just Intonation Blues series are created by extracting the chord progression from a work played with the Chikuzen Biwa, a semi-traditional Japanese instrument, that tuned in a custom ratio 9:12:14:21.

    These pieces explore the Just Intonation system as an universal language of Nature based on the harmonics. Birds are singing on Just Intonation limited by the prime number 11 or more higher around 23 by listening the natural harmonics of own voice or fellow's.

    Since Just Intonation system using these higher-order prime numbers includes intervals that approximate 12-tone Equal Temperament (for example 17/16, 19/16), TET can be seen as a transitional tuning system that attempted to imitate these natural pitches but failed to achieve it.

    And this project is based on the Phase Transition Theory due to Desargue's Theoremical Projection between the Musical Right-angled Triangles through the natural harmonic series.

  16. Last composition of the year turns out to be a salvage job: after recording in various tempi, I couldn't make them fit together, and normalized to 90 bpm. I also had to throw out my strongest theme, so we have a mood piece instead. And it's #microtonal and #justIntonation as well, if the initial multi-tempo plan hadn't been complex enough. Onward to 2026 Weekly Beats next week. streak.club/p/58719/scaraben-b

  18. #NowPlaying ‘the sky chases the bird’, an austere yet intensely lovely, room- and mind-filling album by @microtones, picked up in #BandcampFriday yesterday.

    I’ve bought—and have enjoyed—a lot of David’s work over the years but have missed the last few releases so this was a good opportunity to remedy that.

    These two long pieces are “improvisations in a microtonal just intonation tuning”. Music of sublime slowness for these lifetimes that accelerate ever onwards.

  20. It was the Bandcamp Friday before Christmas,
    all was quiet
    except for a hum
    the best hum one ever
    heard.

    three phosphorescent pitches above (2025)
    composition in 17 limit #justintonation
    produced at Endorphin Music Studios, November 2025
