PeterthePapercomPoser Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Hello again. I have composed yet another microtonal piece - this time a prelude for lumatone (or a piano). My intent for the piece was to explore subminor and supermajor chords, as well as the subminor 7th which is a more pleasing sonority in a minor or dominant 7th chord which isn't as dissonant and yearning for resolution (the dominant 7th chord with a subminor 7th is a common sonority that gives Barbershop quartets their characteristic sound). I think a performance on a lumatone can probably best approximate my intentions with this piece in 31 edo or 53 edo or something. Thanks for listening and I'd appreciate any comments, suggestions, critiques or observations you may have!

chopin Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I take it you also have some type of echo effect in this recording? Anyway I think we looked it up, and the lumatone is close to $4K, so not sure you will have any performers of this anytime soon 😁, but nevertheless, this is a really neat prelude! This is a perfect candidate for a main word in a 2d semi-horror side scroller game. For example, there is somewhat a sense of equilibrium, but enough tension still to be uneasy. If anything you lately have been piquing my interest in microtonal harmony. I definitely want to learn more about it, and maybe I can test the waters with a topic or two about this on my YouTube channel one of these days. 1 Quote
Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Hey @PeterthePapercomPoser! This prelude is motivically tight. Almost all phrase starts with the same motive, either in its original or inverted form. Like @chopin I love the echo effect. The echo really strengthens the weirdness of the piece as provided by the microtone! Thx for sharing this little piece! Henry 1 Quote
