In case you were wondering, a 1Hz LFO is 105.38 half steps (262 cents shy of 9 octaves) below concert A. That makes the LFO 12 cents sharp of C half-flat (assuming 24EDO tuned to A440).

log_2 440 × 12 = 105.38

I felt like listening to some Javanese gamelan.
Gamelan has 2 tuning systems, sléndro and Pelog. Fun fact, if you can't remember which has 5 notes and which 7, count the letters and you'll know the wrong answer! Each gamelan set has a unique tuning, so although people have tried to define sléndro as near-5TET and Pelog as near-9TET with 2 skipped pitches, this doesn't really work without a perfect octave.

Jeanne Artemis - Literatura Oscura (performed by JACK Quartet) for String Quartet

YouTube

Ended Saturday and started Sunday with Like a Great River
by Oded Tzur, released on Enja in 2015.

"In 2012, Oded led a rehearsal in Brooklyn with Shai Maestro, Petros Klampanis and Ziv Ravitz. The immediate connection between the four musicians led to the creation of the Oded Tzur Quartet, an ensemble that explores relationships between the jazz setting and Indian music’s melodic architecture. The Quartet has performed at many venues throughout New York City and in 2014 recorded its debut album: Like a Great River, which will be released by Enja Records in April 2015.
Oded Tzur is a New York City based saxophonist, composer and bandleader. His work draws on Indian classical music and Jazz, and explores fundamental connections between different musical traditions..." - Bandcamp

African Paper | Pitched Variations: Sullivan Johns mit neuer CD

Just erscheint mit "Pitched Variations" das neue Album des britischen Komponisten, Musikers und Rundfunkkurators Sullivan Johns. Bekannt für seine experimentellen Arbeiten, die oft mit reduzierten Mitteln komplexe Klangstrukturen erschaffen, setzt Johns hier auf eine minimalistische Basis aus einzelnen Tönen von Fagott und Violine, die durch präzise Steuerung von Tonhöhe und Automation geformt werden. ...

Outkast's Hey Ya in 31TET, at half-speed and ambient? In this video Levi McClain talks about his compositional approach, including some great insights into #Microtonal #MusicTheory.
Personally I'm not too familiar with 31TET, preferring 36 or 53TET, which I mainly use in the context of Turkish makam theory. Even so, his harmony approach sounds perfectly functional to my ears, though if you're not used to #microtonality this probably will sound weird/eerie. #Music

What if Outkast's "Hey Ya!" was Microtonal?

I can't help but feel that all the backslash that #microtonality faced and still faces is just colonial bullshit
