As a neat little bow to wrap up our convo about microtonal music…

I’ve been very vocal on here about how I feel about this band, how overhyped they’ve been, particularly up here in Canada where I live.
I find the talent to hype ratio incredibly skewed, & I hate the whole paper mache’ kabuki alien vaudeville thing.

My 17 year old son however… WHOLEHEARTEDLY disagrees. He enjoys them immensely, & when I took him down to our local shop, and he approached me with both of these 6-song E.P.s under his arm, it became clear I had to get them for him.

Besides, it was his birthday a few days ago, so I’ll just consider it one more birthday gift for him.
He deserves it.

The deal I made with him in exchange for me footing the bill was that he had to listen to Harry Partch immediately after.
He agreed.

My good friend's son (16) who is cool as hell and has great taste in music texted with me a bit today, he has now reached about 20 CDs, has an account on Discogs where he looks them up and adds them, and was asking me if I could help him him with his home stereo setup and for turntable recommendations because he would like to slowly get into vinyl.

I'm not a parent, and will never be, and I'm certainly not his parent, but...I feel kinda proud of my part in creating this monster 🥹

The first thing that came to mind regarding microtonal guitar is music from the Sahara - this is a great example

This copy has a skip at the beginning but…it is so, so good.

@revivalrecords @kaiser_franz sorry it took so long to get to this.
It’s been a busy day.

Although I’m far from an expert, I’ve listened to a lot of weird microtonal music over the years.

Almost every kind of instrument (keyboards, stringed instruments, electronic, and wind instruments) have a type that can play intervals smaller than the standard 12-tone.

In the early 2000s, I made a record while living in NYC that was rife with an Archicembalo, which is a keyboard that has 36 keys per octave.
And for a brief time, I also owned a fretless guitar, which I didn’t have long because I hated it.

Violins, violas, and cellos are also perfect for making microtonal music.

The most FUN one for me personally is the theremin, which I still own and is in my storage unit. Full pitch control, and perfect for implementing into that kind of music OR for drunkenly covering the original theme of Star Trek.
