This stops sounding strange after about ten minutes...

Re: Incredibly Strange Music
Fascination replaced the feeling of strangeness a lot sooner than that. No surprise there. I had no trouble cottoning on to what Harry Partch was about when you introduced me to his use of the 43-tone scale.Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 7:44 amThis stops sounding strange after about ten minutes...
The way the Melodion started with a simple, conventionally melodious phrase, then lead into unfamiliar, sometimes seemingly jarring territory, reminded me of how J.S.Bach did much the same in his well-tempered clavier, the art of the fugue and a memorable cembalo solo in one of his Brandenburg concertos. The only difference is that Bach did not employ microtonal intervals. I bet that if Bach had had instruments at his disposal that were capable of producing them he would have utilised them with glee.

Uuh ahhhhh. Trance on acid. it's a keeper.
I suppose you have listened to Dolores Catherino's explanation of the Lumatone and how she uses it? If not, go here.

Re: Incredibly Strange Music
Yeah. I find the whole 'polychromatic' concept as she explains it quite fascinating.

Re: Incredibly Strange Music
Fascinating indeed, but not particularly substantive. Rhythm would add a lot. Even something as easy as arpeggios would to some extent.Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 2:15 pmYeah. I find the whole 'polychromatic' concept as she explains it quite fascinating.
Something from eight years ago.
MIDIs have not really changed a great deal in the past 30 years. This from 1990. Not actually weird, but I'll use any excuse, or none, to roll it up on stage once more.
Volume up and go

Re: Incredibly Strange Music
Correction on the publication date: Animusic released it with the title "Pipe Dream" in 2001. In 2002 ATI included it with its Radeon 9700 video card as a demonstration of its 3D capability.
You can find more creations of this sort on Animusic's Youtube channel. There is nothing strange about the music itself. What is remarkable is that whereas it appears that the animation drives the sound, the software works the other way around. The MIDI input determines the visual movement. More info here.

Re: Incredibly Strange Music
And now for a strange real-life instrument, Wintergatan's marble machine, backed up by some bass strings and MIDI. "Folktronica" That's a new one to me.
