- More nostalgic xenharmonic music written in the famous 53 tone equal temperament. I did my best to make this one feel like an old record with lots of warm vinyl crackling and popping. Piece number two in my Coney Island Suite set. All sounds made using Steinberg's Halion synth through Dorico.
It give some tasty tape feelings, that's really cool!
I'm glad that the retro feel was appreciated. It is kind of funny how heavily I'm using digital tools to sound like damaged analog recordings.
This features a more xenharmonic side of 53EDO than what I have usually heard of it.
53 EDO is really great at handling 5-limit harmonies, so it can be tempting as a composer to write something that is essentially 12 EDO but with harmonies closer to just intonation. While I enjoy (and have written) compositions like that, there is a lot of largely untapped potential in that tuning system.
Nailed the vibe. Lovely piece as always.
Thanks for listening. I'm happy that you enjoyed it.
