I finally did it! And DAMN am I proud of myself right now.
Two of my favorite kinds of music together in one glorious, glorious xenharmonic piece.
I'm taking a page out of Sevish's book and just making whatever I'd most like to hear, and so far it's been the most rewarding thing I've ever done.
The tuning is a 9L8s subset of 321edo that I've nicknamed blastoff[17], and can be found here, if you'd like to give it a try:

This showed up in my recommendations due to an interest in microtonal music and it is good so i am commenting in the hopes it attains more views.
Thanks for the boost! Happy to have you :D
It got my view 👍

Sadly its not how it works
Ratio=fact
I think a lot of people get stuck in a loop where they create what they think will be popular rather than what they actually want to create, and an audience can sense the inauthenticity. Do your thing Jumble.
This.
There's a sort of balanced, rotating tightwalk, a feedback between the Audience and a pieces Creator.
Make the music you like and it will attract the people who truly appreciate you😊
no way bro, 321 EDO IS CRAZY
each step is ~3.7 cents 💀
It doesnt even approximate the harmonic series that well for its size 💀
this is the most comforting discomfort i have ever felt listening to a song
That means I did what I set out to do!
My goal is to make music that's as cursed as it is beautiful.
I'm so bad at music theory I don't even hear how it's microtonal. I just feel that's good music. There is so much good music in this day and age.
“Microtonal” is vague anyway. Sound is vibration and notes that “sound” nice together are vibrations that divide easily into each other. For this reason in western music we arbitrarily arrived on 12 easy “divisions” that make up “standard” equal temperament. You can obviously though just take any given frequency of vibration, call that a note, and then divide it as many time as you feel is reasonable to come up with the other “notes” to play along with it. You can even divide frequencies over 300 times between any given frequency and the next double value of itself (which we hear as the “same” but one octave higher). Most earlier societies had less than 12 that they considered “real notes”
If u listen closely u will hear some notes sound out of tune but the brain quickly starts to get used to this new tuning with these many new notes so you may not even notice it that much. There are microtonal music where its far more noticeable, try Billabong valley by king gizzard or any of zheana erose pieces on yt
mutably, your comment is one of the most endearing and genuine comments in the section. if you said that about my music i would feel a lifetime of accomplishment
kinda same. I listen to gleam and don't even get thrown off from the quarter tones. There's both good and bad to this. It means that you can easily enjoy almost any microtonal piece, so long as you warm up to it enough, but at the same time, it makes it harder to create microtonal music, as, at least my ear is less sensitive to "out-of-tune" notes.
That's true!
The more you work with microtonal music, the less "off" it sounds, and the harder it becomes to make anything that sounds dissonant or alien.
That said, 12edo starts to sound less and less "default", too- and it can feel strange to revisit the home planet, so to speak!
"I listen to 15EDO!"
"Pffft, that's all you got? I listen to 24EDO!!"
"Nah bro, i listen to 31EDO"
"AMATEURS!! I LISTEN TO 48EDO!!!!"

Finally electrons allowed to be free. Pure Electronic music never sounded so organic.
Clicked on this because I loved the cover art, and I'm so glad I did! Sounds really mysterious, makes me imagine discovering an unknown planet through a deep-space sattelite
Alright, so who's going to let the weirdcore community know there's a new absolute banger to obsess over?
Really, though, This is such a beautiful piece of music and I love how phantasmagorical this feels, with a new vibe every 2 minutes or so and this loping, meandering melody that has an air of being a musical stream-of-consciousness held together by the beat and bass.
And the art is perfect. The sunglasses and martini sell it for me.
Thank you so much for the in-depth feedback! That's what I *live for* as an artist.
I *adore* weirdcore, so hearing that means a lot to me 🥺
And the rainbow with sunglasses is Jumble, he's a silly little mascot I made, I like to think of him as being the face of the channel lol
@@uraniidumbra5219From now on when I hear 321 I think of a rainbow with sunglasses, thank you !
Weirdcore cringe
@@jordan3636*extremely loud incorrect buzzer*
came for the thumbnail, stayed for the title and microtonal synthwave.
not disappointed ❤
homie?? these vibes are IMMACULATE and my thirst for good microtonal music that isn't just ploinks and scales as been quenched once again - keep it UP 👏👏👏
I don't know how i got myself here, but this music is gorgeous. Good job brother.
Thanks man!
What can I say, this has been a really fun rabbit hole to fall down lol
glad i took the time to listen to this one. it's very beautiful. i hear some lifeformed influence maybe
Never heard of lifeformed before now, but after giving them a listen, I *know* that's a compliment.
Thank you!
I heard the same thing!
How can i ever thank you for making this? Theres not even a word for what youve made.
cool dreamy doodle artstyle next to 8-bit type synths with ethereal effect, in 1 word exceptional
I love to come back to this piece every once in a while
Microtonal Pilotredsun vibes. Awesome.
this is insanely beautiful
WangleLine in the wild
1:45 i always check to make sure someone ain't bangin on somethin, cuz surround sound headphones make it sound directly ahead
Wow! it has gone viral! your most popular piece to date now!
I'm honestly kind of stunned, I didn't expect it to take off like this! :O
@@uraniidumbra5219
I wish I cane up with the "take off" (blastoff) pun, even if you didnt intentionally do the pun
@@redopal9796 That pun wasn't intentional, but the 321 blastoff thing *absolutely* was- combining my love of space with my appreciation for terrible puns lmao
DUDE LOOK IT'S AT 13K NOW 🥺
@@uraniidumbra5219 I see!! its wonderful!! 1k likes too!! if I recall around the time it was released you had like 25 subscribers, and now 900- that is like an entire high school of fans!
i love the artwork you make for your videos. a veritable [drawn with finger on an ipad] vibe while being completely unbothered by notions of "good art". looks as if it's been composed by completely unspooling several colours of thread and organizing the tangled mess on a $5 purple walmart blanket while laying on the carpet, elbows on the floor and your chin in your palms as syrupy light from the nearby streetlamp filters into the room through offwhite sheer curtains
typed this while listening at 2x speed at 1:34am on a monday
It's 1:34 am right now! Whoaaa
First off I Love your analysis of the artwork, I'm always dying to talk about it! (genuine)
You are right on the money with not caring about notions of "good art", I did away with perfectionism a long time ago with my drawings and I'm so glad I did. My art tumblr is *scribbly*spaceskeleton for a reason!
Second, now I wanna try plunking this song down in audacity and seeing what it sounds like at 2x speed. 🤔
@uraniidumbra5219 hehehehhee 😈😈😈 not if i beat you to it, 2x-ing it in audacity while also slapping some diy singer songwriter on top!!! BLASTOFF!!! (321edo microtonal synthwave) (jodediah holems bedroom pop remixx)
@@JodediahHolems Whoa WHAT??? That's *amazing*, I wanna hear it when you're done! :O (genuine)
Oh this is just what I needed right now.. Such teensy tiny microtones!
this thumbnail and arrangement are both insanely cool
Just leaving this comment as a mark before you get more recognition, your stuff is so awesome!
Best thing autoplay played in a long time. Love it!
The song feels like the expanse of space, in all its awesomeness and peculiarity, as it envelops you in tranquil and calm.
i have no idea how this came to me, but i will forever be grateful.. this is beautiful!!!
Thank you so much! 💙
I'm not really sure how to put this in words, but listening to this I feel so relaxed and... safe
happy youtube recommended me this, good music to listen while i work :]
Rainbow in a sunglasses look so cool and good match with the music
321... three HUNDRED and twenty one..... okay... wow
I absolutely love your music
I love the art, I absolutely love the music and the vibe this gives off. It lets you think.
Love it ! Dreamy, space-y ! Looking forward for your future works, we want more
I'm so using this scale. This song is really good, and I love the inclusion of the witchcraft third (370cents)!
Magical, love what you have going on. My friend Blake is going to looser their fuckimg mind over this.
This is so pretty, esp to sleep to :o
this is NUTS. love it.
I love microtonal music, it just hits you different! Love this!
- 321 EDO.
- You mean 31?
- No, 321.
love this wholeheartedly. great work!
The MicroTonal quality lends the music a certain authenticity, coupled with your statement of making what ever you'd most like to hear -- makes this ultra authentic, and soulful! :)
It’s like Boards of Canada and Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2 had a microtonal baby.
You should collaborate with a percussionist though. Quantized drums are the same thing in time that equal temperament is in pitch. Microtonal music escaping that rigidity in pitch would also benefit from escaping it in time, using analogous thinking in terms of breaking down into smaller grids and use them to create new shapes. This was fantastic, but it sounds like a demo for an even better piece where the percussionist hasn’t laid down their part yet.
(Positive) First off, that's one hell of a compliment! Thank you!
Second, I know percussion isn't my strong suit whatsoever, I just put a loop in the background and hope for the best OTL
I appreciate the constructive criticism, though! I want to collab with someone on percussion, I just don't know who to ask or how! 😅
@@uraniidumbra5219 I was really hesitant to post that. I think you’re bringing a high level skill in the thing you are doing really good at, so that should make it easier to ask. It’s the exact same problem I have with someone like Ichika Nito (guitar virtuoso). Everything else has so much love put into it but the mid drums can’t keep up. You can either get better at showing love to your drum parts, remove them or collab, otherwise you hit a level where no matter how much better you do at the stuff you excel at, it won’t improve the final result.
It’s a bit like getting a gourmet pasta sauce paired with kraft macaroni noodles. No amount of improvement to the sauce will improve the dish without better noodles. But damn could it be a good dish with them.
I don’t mean to discourage you, you’re aiming for a very high mark and other than drums I think you hit it right on. I’m a cynical asshole when it comes to criticizing musicians but I see you’re much too good at what you are doing well to match it to drums you didn’t put the same passion into. It’s very clear you’ve got the capacity and soul to be doing truly great work and the only thing between this and truly great work is more love in the drums. Imagine this with a jazz drummer, a prog metal drummer, or a modern classical percussionist being as inspired and skilled as you obviously are.
I subbed and will be going through all the other works. I’m interested in learning to improvise with microtonality and your pieces have a lot to learn from. Also I really dig the vibe with the hand drawn art, and if you ever get the chance to make a music video I can imagine an animated version going really well with the color changes in the music.
Not to detract from your compliment, but I do feel the need to point out that SAW vol 2 is already microtonal as hell! It's all over, but especially go listen to track #2 and try to tell me that's 12TET lol
@@mintegral1719 is it really microtonal or is it just aphex twin knows about the pitch shift wheel on the keyboards though? Either way point taken though.
@@aonutsihasnouith it is very much intentionally microtonal! He crafts his own tunings and scales, and he was at the forefront of the development of MTS-ESP, a widely-used microtuning plugin for digital synths. He's been into this stuff for a long time; he just doesn't really advertise it :)
Sounds pretty nice
I've been listening to sooooooo much Sevish lately so this is a really nice take on the stuff he makes, absolutely wonderful :)))
And so youtube recommended has graced me with another banger. Subscribed.
Wawawa wuwuwu wawawa wuwuwu.
beautiful
Nice sounds! And thank you for sharing the tuning, been obsessed with scale workshop lately
No problem!
And right? I love scale workshop so much, I've just been playing with it and typing random numbers in to see what happens lol
It was a long time since I VIBED soo hard to a microtonal song +÷^×!;
Been on a kick of these microtonal tunes and I’m amazed by them! Excellent work on making these feel so warm and welcoming as soundscapes
goin into the sad boy hours playlist, fuckin love this
this might just be me yapping, but i think the reason why this doesn't sound microtonal, is because there are so many notes that are close to 12-TET. that even though they arent completely on it, it just feels slightly off, in the same way a person singing feels slightly off.
It doesn't feel microtonal, it just feels human.
nice work - gonna try out this blastoff[17] tuning now 😎
Ooooh have fun with it! I'd love to see more people work with 321edo, it doesn't seem like it's used too often!
i love this,, i usually find it hard to truly enjoy microtonal music because my brain is so accustomed to 12 tones that i can't help but feel something sounds wrong,, but honestly this sounds awesome and i enjoyed it so much !!
It sounds beautiful, but I doubt I would hear the difference between two neighboring steps in 321 edo.
finally i have found it
I tired jamming to this with my guitar, didn't see the microtonal part until I played the first note... Besides, exceptional work here!
Oh god I could only IMAGINE how confused you must have been until you saw the title! 🤣
I gotta say, what pretty art to go with the music though! Flows really well on the eyes.
Wow. Just wow. Hoping your channel gains a lot more traction soon. You've earned my subscription.
Thank you! I really appreciate that.
Honestly the amount of engagement I'm already getting is mind-blowing.
The synthwave / microtone combo is inspired. Love this!
Wow, this is really warm and immersive..not at all what I would have expected from microtonal...🌈pure magic
This feels so peaceful and complex, I love it.
Awesome vibe
My mates are gonna love this, thanks to the algo for the rec, bigger thankyou to JUMBLE for making dope tunes
Listening to this was a special moment for me.
Here as the 324th subscriber. I appreciate the music you’ve made. Thank you
Revisiting this, it's still a vibe and a half. Inspiring, too!
Love the sci-fi vibes in your songs!
This is giving me hauntingly wistful Silent Hill vibes. Well done!
been waiting for more electronic micro tonal! keep it up
Damn that is one cool rainbow @_@
This is fantastic.
Thanks man! 👉😎👉
Perfection.:0
Yeah, this is really awesome! I really appreciate your link to the scale on scale workshop. Meant I could play along whilst it was playing which was very fun. Might have to steal it some time ;)
Absolutely gorgerous! Keep up the good work homie, you're incredibly inspiring to me as I hope to experiment with microtonality sometime as well! :D
Yo, this is smooth ! Good work !
cool track
love from your friends at taia :D
Thank you!
This is just amazing! Pure magic. I would also like to see something microtonal and wonky from you!! Keep it up!
I'm a few weeks into looking into microtones and hopping back here to let you know this was one of two videos that sent me down that rabbit hole. Looking into incorporating something relatively straightforward like 19EDO in my upcoming dissertation composition as a result. Thanks for the starting point! It sounds great also (feel like that is obvious but saying it anyway)
update on this: it ended up being 22EDO, and by all accounts it was a resounding success! listening to your work was a big inspiration and a lot of help for this project, so thank you
Good evening.
I am shouting you out in my discord server and showing all my friends this, this sounds amazing. Good job!
Did UA-cam fix the algorithm? This is so good.
Realmente é microtonal. No começo é difícil, vc se sente como uma criança pequena descobrindo os sons
Very similar to monolisms songs. But very cool to see the synthwave combined with microtonal. Big fan of chillwave myself
I *love* Monolism! That is a compliment! 🥺
Do you plan on adding your work to spotify? Microtonal music hardly appears over there to my knowledge, and this is genuinely my favourite piece of music that utilizes it; being able to listen to this anywhere would quite literally make me ascend.
This needs to become a video game soundtrack now.
This is beautiful
this is amazing man
Just what i needed
Wild. Just Wild.
DUDE this goes HARD
PLEASE put this out on Spotify I beg
Nice tune, and nice choice of instruments. This might work in some kind of lightweight video game, like those classical oldies known from Atari ST, Commodore 64 and Amiga 500.
Actually i find this music to work as balm for my emotional being (not for my soul, which is beyond suffering and always was, a state of calm and accurate observation) as it were, very similar feeling to when i was young and started some fun computer game (with nice music) just to get a break from all the nastyness of school bullying, scary religious lies, boring indoctrination/"education" and painful family drama.
So strange to say it, but your music is almost nostalgic to me, dreamy and slightly drugging, similar to those silly but relaxing games.
It is interesting to analyze what kind of emotions your music evokes inside of me, especially since i am an awakened empath, who feels acutely the consciousness and energy contents (often even the material contents) of all emotions, both my own and those of other people, especially those i have some kind of relationship bond to.
I bet your Blastoff scale is a MOS alternating between 25 edosteps of 321edo, and 12 edosteps of 321edo. As others have said, you might have just alternated between 2 steps and 1 step of 26edo, especially since you are using a linear temperament MOS scale (two basic step sizes, not more, plus two step sizes of each number of steps), rather than say some more complicated Dwarf scale or 3MOS etcetera.
But hey it is your choice how complicated you want the tuning to be (compared to overall scale complexity and accuracy in various prime limits), and in any case the result is thoroughly enjoyable!
You most likely have a 3/2 fifth of this 321edo scale (185 edosteps), which is close to the patent val fifth of 26edo (15 edosteps), rather than the native patent val 3/2 of 321edo (188 edosteps).
As a hypothesis i assume you are using purely tuned octaves (you don't have to!), in that case your 4/3 fourth (136 edosteps of 321edo) would be off from the 321edo patent val by 3 edosteps as well, and in any case close to that of 26edo (11 edosteps).
Your 5/4 major third i assume is 99 edosteps of 321edo, 4 edosteps off from the 321edo patent val of 103 edosteps, close to the 26edo one of 8 edosteps.
Your 6/5 minor third would then be 86 edosteps rather than the patent val of 84 or 85 edosteps (the 321edo patent tuning is inconsistent in the 5 odd limit).
No idea if you are using any 7-limit intervals, but in that case they would most likely be close to those of 26edo, rather than to the patent vals of 321edo. Too tired right now to calculate the values of those intervals (7/4, 7/6, 7/5) right now, but i know how to do it, and similar things for higher limit intervals.
First off, as a creator, I *live for* in-depth feedback and analysis. You have no idea how much it means to me to get such a lengthy comment in my inbox! (genuine/positive)
Secondly, this is all technical information and mathematics that I would not have known how to describe in words-- I have very little mathematical ability and my thought process to make this track was literally going "huh that sounds neat" and running with it lmao
I play solely by ear and intuition, I don't really understand even regular old 12-tet music theory let alone the *astronomical* complexity of the theory behind xenharmony, so hearing about this stuff and seeing it laid out like this is genuinely really interesting for me to see!
And you are correct about 25 and 12 being the step sizes! I typed those two numbers in at absolute random and copy pasted them until they added up to 321 in Scale Workshop.
🌈 BEST MUSIC EVER!!! GO RAINBOW!!! 🌈
Think it's time for me to also explore some really high-numbered edo with a mos scale. Cool stuff!
Hell yeah!
The higher number edos seem intimidating at first, but really you just use a much smaller subset of those pitches. This particular song uses 17 tones in a 9L8s pattern, which I've nicknamed blastoff[17].
You can get some really unique sounds from the bigger tunings this way, and they often have fun memorable names like Godzilla etc.
@@uraniidumbra5219 yup and porcupine. 🦔 Maybe you can get an entry in the xenharmonic wiki for blastoff[17], haha
@@fotgjengeren Maybe! That would be an honor (genuine)
i was abt to complain abt how having that many notes is impractical, never mind
now i want to try this out, idk how the website you linked works
This feels oddly not even microtonal. I think that, for such large numbers like 321edo, our ears are actually very accustomed to the way the notes are harmonized, because a lot of music that's not microtonal in theory uses a lot of unsion detune (with just a few cents of detune) in practice. So, in other words, some of those notes with a few cents up and down of unison may very well find a place here, in these 321edo scales / subsets of notes. Beautiful composition nonetheless!
Good music. Leaving a comment for the algorithm 👍
321edo，好多啊😮
I heard this before I born.
