This is the only microtonal song I've heard that has actually sounded pleasant and in tune. Keep it up fr fr

[@Budjarn]

Thank you for the encouragement, I appreciate it a lot :D

You’d probably like easly blackwood, microtonal and beautiful

[@Budjarn]

@@444dontperceive I am a big fan of Blackwood, yay :)

I really like the dark tone it settles into towards the 3:30 mark, makes me feel like I just launched portal and am about to feel completely isolated from the world for the next 1.5 hours, keep it up man!

[@Budjarn]

Thank you so much :) I'm glad you liked it so much :)

Tilty macarena. Try getting inspired by following works of Dmitry Shostakovich: quartet 7 allegro, quartet 8 iii, quartet 9, quartet 10

[@Budjarn]

I don't think any genre of music is objectively better than any other genre of music. Like whatever you like and listen to whatever you want to listen to.
There is as much artistry in the sound design of electronic dance music and even pop music as there is in the harmony and melody of European classical music.
And the complex interweaving rhyme patterns, metric structures and syncopation in the best hip hop music is just as intricate as any fugue or symphony.
There's not much artistry in this video, because it's just me messing around in Scale Workshop for fun. But that's nothing to do with the genre of the music. It's just to do with the fact that I'm not a serious musician. Other people can and do make music of this same genre, and make it just as good as any classical music, and Shostakovich is not one of their main inspirations.
Classical music isn't 'superior' to other genres, and it isn't 'more intelligent'. It's not worse either, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying it's no better or worse than any other genre.
Whether I listen to Shostakovich, or Skrillex, or the Super Mario 64 soundtrack, has no bearing on how good of a musician I am. It'll influence my style, but not quality. The reason I suck is because I don't practice enough and I don't take lessons. That's why. It's not because classical music is superior.

this goes hard

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it :)

[@Tanmark1998]

Awesome!

[@Budjarn]

Thank you, that means a lot :)

[@BangBang-o1o]

honestly bro, love the ideas here! i'd say just use some more high fidelity sounds, maybe add some pads into the background and fill in with some drums and a bass line, and you got some unique songs!

[@Budjarn]

Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@BearorBust]

This sounds vaguely middle eastern..

[@Budjarn]

That might be because of the minor second in the scale, which is a common melodic shape in some Middle Eastern music, as well as the 11-limit intervals that 21edo contains (many Middle Eastern tunings include a lot of 11-limit intervals) :)
