  • Synth pads in √357-TET (~18.894-TET) or √357 Edo. This tuning has ~63.511 Cents per Semitone.
    The number 357 alludes to the Winding Staircase from the Fellow Craft Degree.

      I wanna be real as a person who studies math, physics, music and how they relate: they should not have been separated. Music LITERALLY is how math, physics, and acoustics interplay. What we think of as music is just our favorite math along with words maybe.

    It all comes down to temperament. No need to reinvent the wheel here. In well temperament, perfectly in-tune intervals complement significantly out-of-tune intervals. In equal temperament, all intervals (save the octave) are slightly out of tune. The former system fosters variety and difference, while the latter preserves consistency and uniformity.

    • @randomchannel-px6ho
      @randomchannel-px6ho Місяць тому

      The issue is well temperment creates problems like comma pumps.
      Styles like jazz would have never been possible if we didn't work out that 12tet worked well enough, very normal to our modern ewrs vocabulary like 6 9 vhords arent possible in well tempertment

      "an octave is a 1:2 pitch ratio, and consists of 1200¢ (logarithmic unit of pitch), going up 1200¢ and going up an octave are equivalent. typically we divide the octave into 12 parts, giving a step size of 100¢, however that's completely arbitrary. we could divide the octave into for example, 10 parts, giving a step size of 120¢, or into 19 parts, giving a step size of ~63.16¢. These systems collectively are called Equal Divisions of the Octave (EDO) systems (e.g. 9EDO = 9 Equal Divisions of the Octave), or -Tone Equal Temperament (TET) systems (e.g. 12TET = 12-Tone Equal Temperament). However, the amount to divide an octave into need not be an integer, or even rational. You could divide the octave into, idk, sqrt(357) pieces, so each step size is 1200¢/sqrt(357)=~65.51¢. that's what this music does."

    So each note is sqrt357th root of 2 Hz apart?

    • @ambientesoterica
      @ambientesoterica  Місяць тому +2

      Square Root of 357 is an alternative way to denote 18.894 equal divisions of the octave. "Normal" western music divides the octave into 12 equal divisions (the chromatic scale). 18.894 reduces the gap/space between each note.
