I ran it through the 'Mist' (aka Clouds) plugin of lenticular.lv2 (port of clone of a port?) and stuck it on YT.
Thank you for commending my music and using it in your audio session. :D

Re: When The Clouds Start To Cover The Sky

I've recently become interested in exploring harmonic possibilities outside of the normal equal temperament tuning found in most western music, but I'm not really sure where to start. I'm curious what kind of hardware and software (or physical instruments?) you are using to make these pieces of mus...

Re: When The Clouds Start To Cover The Sky

A beautiful piece of work, thanks for sharing. Using JI almost becomes an effect as the harmonies ebb in and out of perceived dissonance. Unsolicited feedback: I think it could be even more special if you developed the arrangement more to reflect your subject matter, which is by its nature very dyn...

Re: When The Clouds Start To Cover The Sky

Interesting work. A bit of a culture shock as I'm so used to western styles in even tempered scale. Thank you for the interest. You got the point! :D I'm really working toward cultures fusion. I've been researching about reasons (Why C=261,62 hz? How pitches are obtained in pythagorean tuning, in 5...

When The Clouds Start To Cover The Sky

Here is a piece that I composed using just intonation, middle-eastern modes and rhythms, C note tuned to 256 hz (changing reference frequency of C in huygens-fokker Scala keyboard mapping window), Rosegarden, Timidity and strings and piano soundfonts and using midi controller 73 (attack time) to cre...

Re: Joyfulness - الفرح - Sevinçlilik

Really enjoyed this. I went through a phase of trying to understand Turkish music in the late '90s after my brother spent some time over there, but I never got my head around it. Love the way it sounds, though. I have a Saz collecting dust somewhere that I try to play now and then. Thank you for en...

How to re-tune Qsynth in recent versions

Hi. I've searched online several times about it and found many old posts that doesn't seem to work today. I use Manjaro and currently my Qsynth version is 0.4.3 and my Fluidsynth version is 1.1.6. I use Scala to create alternate tunings. Right in their home page they say it's capable of exporting tu...

Re: Harp Sonata in Mode Farahfaza

I'm also happy to see the development of this post. :D Today most people call "microtonal" any kind of music that is not tuned to 12-tone equal temperament, common in western music and instruments. I, personally, disagree with this, because it gives the impressions that the 12-tone ET sys...

Re: Harp Sonata in Mode Farahfaza

I'm happy to see how this post developed. Have downloaded the Yarman36-papar, and read with great interest. One of the questions that came to mind, was wether in an eastern traditional, probably lineage-oriented approach of teaching music, the definition of the microtones was a physical (math. freq...
