Andrew York - Threadbare Dance

[@PhilippeBarrilliez]

A fascinating composition dear Andrew, in which these very particular harmonies produced on your guitar, make this music a very powerful inner journey. Bravo and thank you for this beautiful musical moment, and very nice weekend. Like 63. Musical greetings from France, Phil

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much for your kind comment, Philippe. Greetings to you from California!

Amazing!

[@simondanielssonmusic]

Love this! This would probably sound even cooler if it was arranged for a broader chamber music context!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thanks, Simon!

This music feels like its dna is from another world. Can we find beauty in a chill at the back of the neck? Thanks again Andrew for pushing the limits.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Frank, I love it when music gives me chills, always have. Glad it can do so for you too.

[@geoffguitars]

That is just amazing. I thought you were out of tune until I looked at your comment and realized this is by design. Just love hearing something so different like this.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Geoff!

[@peterrist1345]

Interesting!

[@rasm0225]

What would this look like written in standard notation? Can you do a short video on that?

[@Guitar-Ed]

I have been thinking the same thing since the start of this just intonational journey! I would love to see and hear the two side by side! There is some software that can do a spectral analysis of the two (Sonic Visualizer and others). I think looking at the overtones etc and how the overtones differ in one of the just intonation arrangements compared to a standard tuning of that same piece might really be enlightening.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

The notation looks normal. However, first we need to know what key the just intonation is in. In this case, the guitar is intonated for just in D major. For Threadbare Dance, I went out of D major to use the 'out of tune' intervals to create tension and interesting effects. But the notation looks straight forward.

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Such an interesting tonal colors in this, and excellent cinematography to match 👏! I like how you're pushing the boundaries of the expected 😎. Ought to make folks who have a certain idea of what guitar playing should sound like, and are outraged when anyone should play differently, think twice about what guitar music _can_ be.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Josh, who cares what those people think. I certainly don't. But I do love pushing boundaries! Thanks for your comment.

[@RumichaCaballero]

Excellent work master York, I really love the sound of this fretted guitar and all the possibilities this instrument have for composing new works for guitar. Hope you and Ms. Anette are fine, best regards for you!!! :D :D

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Peter!

[@kevinh9262]

This piece really tickled my ears, Andrew! You are one of the most interesting composers of our time.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Many thanks for your beautiful comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Keven!

[@herrunsinn774]

It goes without saying that this is excellence incarnate. Having said that, I find it more than a little disturbing, as if Andrew has tapped directy into every fear or self-doubt I've ever had, every bit of frustration and angst I've had in 2.5 years of Covid being among us, and every horror filled moment I've experienced since the Ukraine war exploded on the scene. This proves great musical artistry doesn't always have to sound "warm, fuzzy and reasurring" like "Home" did.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Herr Unsinn, thanks for your powerful response. I don't intend to evoke unsettling emotions, but I feel great art should have the ability to awaken the listener to deeper currents without and within. I'm glad you were in the undercurrent with me there.

[@呼吸-e9b]

what are those frets man........ crazy. melodies as dissonant as for some technical blackened death metal
