All the unused notes should glow in the amount of resonance they would cause with the current pressed notes. Also in certain colors to incidate anything intelligent.

Each chord creates a specific feeling. Maybe i could categorize them with a general emotion, but like microtones themselves the combinations are utterly unique and indescribable. Thank you for your art.

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

There should be more microtonal music in the world. This is some of the best I've ever come across.

It is always new, fresh, without any limit and very easy to listen ! How can you do that so easily. Please go on, you fingers put pure magic in our lives. We need more ✨ Thank you so much

[@adriaanhazendonk]

Very good music! Sounds often not-microtonal.

[@Planthier76]

Hi Dolores, I hope this message finds you well. I am a passionate follower of your work in microtonal music. Your compositions have been a huge inspiration to me, and I deeply admire your innovative approach and creativity. I am currently exploring microtonal music myself and am eager to learn more about the instruments and techniques that you use in your compositions. If you have any recommendations or insights for someone looking to delve deeper into microtonal music, I would greatly appreciate it. I hesitate between the linnstrument, the lumatone and the continuum from haken. Additionally, I would love to know more about your process and any advice you might have for aspiring microtonal composers. Your guidance would mean a lot to me as I continue my musical journey. Thank you for your incredible contributions to the world of microtonal music. I look forward to hearing from you.

I think language doesn't define reality. So there's really nothing to worry about in regards to this perspective widening and whatnot. We'll see what we see, even if our words cover only the most superficial connections. Optimism is the hope that things can be good. Leveraging that specifically to create adaptability and productivity has always felt cold and robotic to me. A goal set by a hive thinking only about growth and longevity. Because hope and despair are equal emotions. It is the enduring wish for things to not be the way they are through the lamentation of it. And the most not-the-way-they-are anything can get is not being at all. Hope resides in a resolute ending. Not in cyclical madness and semantic hoola-hooping. Optimism left well enough alone leads to beautiful dreams of stillness. A dream shared even by the inorganic.

[@smellymala3103]

You used a lot of words here but since language is meaningless it is just an empty string of phonetic syllables. Maybe you can try doing something useful like playing music with no key or tempo.

Scandal said it best. "Shooting at the walls of heartache bang, bang I am the warrior Well, I am the warrior And heart to heart you'll win If you survive, the warrior, the warrior" Aloha and have a blessed new year :)

[@nietzschebietzsche]

Holy heck. Whhahahat. This is so cool

[@organist1982]

Really beautiful! It looks like the pattern repeats every 56 notes, so I would've thought this was 56 edo. How does the visual pattern translate to 84 edo?

[@dolomuse]

Thanks for this question! I'll add this to the description. Tuning implementation: The Lumatone has 8 rows of keys. The diatonic layout, A-G, has 7 notes per octave, for a maximum resolution of 56 notes per octave. One way to extend pitch resolution further, is to use the 56 keys as a subset of a larger temperament. With this approach, 84 notes per octave would require 12 rows of keys for full implementation, which I visualize as two unused rows below red and two above violet. It’s a compromise, but it allows for a limited exploration of pitch-color combinations using an interval step size of ~14.29 cents (84 equal divisions of the octave).

[@organist1982]

@@dolomuse Fascinating! I wonder if Lumatone will ever make a larger model with more rows like your Microzone.
