For some reason, this piece just made me uncontrollably bawl my eyes out until my teeth rattled and I felt dizzy.... there was just something magical, and weirdly nostalgic about this that calmed me down to the point where it became overwhelming. I guess this week had been really rough for me that hearing this helped release and outlet a lot of my emotional tension. The uniqueness in this whole piece captivated my ears and mind, and I'm not usually one to listen to this kind of music - I was sad when it was ending. I love this, thank you.
thanks for the lovely comment! i'm so glad you like it! if I may add one correction, I do not use limit. :) if you applied a limit based perspective to this piece, it would actually be a 2.3.5.7.11.13.23.31.37 subgroup -- or 37 limit with 9 dimensions. I have some soft criticism towards the traditional just intonation lattice approaches (where prime limit has main utility) and instead use free just intonation through a primodal lense (my own perspective). i hope you are well
your compositions are absolutely heavenly,, they turn me in a mess of ultraviolet glory and shattered pieces of glass everytime i listen to them. is this how being alive feels? wow !! my favorite one is prayer room, it might as well be a part of me now. zhea erose makes me feel so many things which is not familiar at all, but thank you so much for bringing home to me. doesn't matter where i am))) you're an angel !! forgive me for talking so damn much, it's just that i never said anything and words just started to flood. 'm lame as hell.
I don’t know what happened but I had some kind of out of body experience while listening to this. I remember snapping out of it shaking unsure of what happened. I’m still completely unsure but this is the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard. Thank you.
Microtonality is something truly special. I would call it almost magical. First time I heard xenharmonic music I had an extreme physical experience. It felt like I was experiencing all the most important parts of my life at the same time
Bravo for successfully tuning your own acoustic piano. I tried it once, drove the other people in the house mad, then hired a professional piano tuner to do it right. Beautiful composition.
It took me like two hours to figure out how to xenharmonically retune a kalimba (Mothra[6] I), I can’t imagine retuning an entire piano. The music is trancendentally gorgeous, but honestly preparing the instrument is an impressive feat in itself.
In one interview Hania Rani mentioned that when composing whale song she tried to capture impression of shining ocean suferce , but in the she end up with view not from above but from depths , sounding also like big whale touching the bottom of the sea. For me you made it , i like this motive circulates , as if we can see this ocean form many perspectives , time after time
I have zero idea of what any of the description means or what xenharmonics are but this is great and different from what i'm used to, almost dissonant but not really
this is plain beautiful played. I love that tuning. everytime I listen to this microtonal music...is like healing for the ears.....dunno excactly how to discribe it...
This is beautiful - thanks for sharing! You're a huge inspiration, and have motivated me to retune and record my piano too (which is a work in progress).
So glad to hear that!! I think it's wild how much superstition surrounds tuning a piano. The average piano player or piano tech sees a "DIY tuning" as like... catastrophic. I'd love to have a professional engineer/tech come tune my instrument, they just don't know how to tune to these just intonation structures. Alas - it must be done on your own.
I was intimidated partly because my own ear for recognizing small pitch differences isn't very good. However, I feel like my pitch perception is actually being improved by the exercise of tuning the strings. Also, tuning the strings to unison with sawtooth waves is amazingly more straightforward than I thought it'd be. Probably the biggest difficulty in my case is that my piano is old and not in good shape. Some of the tuning pins on the lower notes slip, making precision tuning impossible. I was amazed I could get better unisons on the worst keys than the last professional I had tune the piano.
@@okaythisisfuckingrid If you want to tune A4 to 440 Hz, for instance, you play a 440 Hz sawtooth and tune each string on the A4 note until it forms a unison with the sawtooth wave. You'll be able to hear beating between the piano string and sawtooth when their frequencies are different, and the beating will go away when the piano string has the same frequency as the sawtooth. It seems best to tune one octave (say, C4 to B4) using this method. For higher and lower octaves, I'd then tune octaves on the piano (e.g., between C4 and C5) by ear, since piano stings are a bit inharmonic and tuning to perfect 1:2 octaves might sound dissonant. Zhea's approach might be different though.
@@anomalousdimension oh, i see. i don't use external sounds to tune it, might try that but my piano is somewhere about a half step flat, but not exactly. it's from 1905. so i'm not sure i can find the exact note i'd be looking for.. but i might try it in the future, thanks!
I've seen a few of your messages. I'd love to work with you. Just let my wonderful director Kylie know via E-mail I referred you into the new semester.

Your hands are like a gentle hypnotic wave...so fitting for a windy morning, thank you....
Absolutely beautiful music is this from the heavens absolutely beautiful
Never have I trusted a microtonal artist so quickly than to hear an 11-limit JI ratio on an acoustic piano

thank you for this beautiful message
Wow, the harmonic content of these chords is so enchanting! And your performance really brings out the good character of the tuning

outstanding. absolutely some of the best xenharmonic music ive heard.

The tone of this piece is really nice. I agree with you, this tuning is easy and fun to get lost in.
A fab sound Zhea, Petra-B ❤
The sound of falling water xxx
Idk if it's just me, but I got such Sims 1 vibes. Makes me wanna build

Been listening this at work all day - It's absolutely beautiful!
pianos are neat
I have zero idea of what any of the description means or what xenharmonics are but this is great and different from what i'm used to, almost dissonant but not really
Loving the shifting modes
🙏🙏🙏 I am tearing up this is so wonderful ❤️
The first 10 seconds alone made this instantly one of my fav piano tracks ever :)
Wow, I used to watch your other channel cause it's so interesting and just discovered your music, so amazing, so emotional 🥰
Gorgeous rich sound
Disappear and reappear somewhere else
Appear then disappear - was it real, corporeal?
Glint, reflect, flow and ebb
wow bitcheth be poetic 🥶 jk it's beautiful
this is plain beautiful played. I love that tuning. everytime I listen to this microtonal music...is like healing for the ears.....dunno excactly how to discribe it...
Amazing, so calming to listen to
Beautiful!!! Lovely textures...
Bravo!
I found this very calming. Excellent as usual. : )

Yes!

WOW this is lush! Undecimal is just the nicest hug
Thank you!! Undecimal really is sooo soft and glow-y. 11:15 is just so special.
hey, what's an undecimal? Would love to know what to listen out for. Thanks!
@@jackbeattie3886 read the description >.>
holy shit yessss!!! I love this so much. How long did it take to retune this? I want to try this sometime
It took me about 2 hours to tune for this piece. A good chunk of that time was experimenting
@@ZheannaErose amazing :D very inspiring work
This piece sounds really amazing !! Is your music available on Spotify?
Ethereal and divine. I’ve been trying desperately to get private lessons with you
I've seen a few of your messages. I'd love to work with you. Just let my wonderful director Kylie know via E-mail I referred you into the new semester.
@@ZheannaErose thank you! When is the new semester and how may I find the best email to contact your director, Kylie?
This tuning sounds great. Would it be possible to post a recording of each key being hit one at a time?
was this improvised or did you write this piece out before playing it?
This was completely improvised.
can I cry, Z ?😔
fino do grosso teu canal é tri legal
@@applestrudelgirl 👉👈obg :>
Suuuuuubscriiiiibed.
hi hello i think u just broke xenharmonicwiki t.t
nvm they fix it
seems off tuned when it’s actually not. what have we done to nature...
Curse twelve tone equal temperament for bottling up this music for so long.
