music at a distance 312

An album by snwv Released 2026-06-18 Improvising microtonally can be a challenge. Interesting things begin to happen when pitches with higher-integer relationships are interacting, but this opens a risk of very dissonant intervals, or (when the intervals are very close to 12-tone equal temperament) just sounding out of tune. The pitches a little farther away from 12TET intervals, for which we don't yet have an emotional vocabulary for interpretation, give us an opportunity to create our own responses. This performance is largely consonant, with some sections flowing from that in-between realm. To me, the music is manifesting with an attitude of calm, supported by an inner resilience. The timbres resemble reed instruments and the flute family, with many of the note durations equivalent to a long breath. (There's a lot of breath here for something made with strings.) Spring is almost behind us. Summer awaits. The titles of these pieces are references to the visual art of Lynda Smith-Bügge. Thank you for listening!

New work from #KraigGrady, feat. Greek artist #GiorgosVaroutas on pedal steel guitar

“Alternative tunings are a major inspiration for my compositional explorations. The pivotal point for me was meeting with tuning theorist #ErvinWilson and witnessing #HarryPartch’s U.S. Highball in 1975. I was convinced that working with different instruments and tunings was going to be a major artistic movement."

After you get hooked on #microtonal music by #anginedepoitrine or #kinggizzardandthelizardwizard or a host of other fine artists, you might want to give it a go. Options are not cheap, but there is always a way to #DIY your way close enough. And so here now a quick vid to get you to make a #fretless #microtonal experimentation #instrument from a #ukulele .
Is it exacting fine #luthier craftspersonship? Nope. But it's a start. Go forth .
