'sound-transformation' | polychromatic 56

[@DanielDaniel-ql6oq]

I closed my eyes and put this on with headphones, and then the time slipped right by and I was immersed in that last chord. It's so interesting to hear the harmonies of the different pitches "beating" together in emergent rhythms. Very striking to hear harmonic composition in terms of the rhythms that emerge from them. Thank you for the beautiful, groundbreaking music!

That tension and upwards drag into silence at 2:04 is one of the best moments I've ever heard in music holy crap chills

[@stephenanthonythomas3533]

Wow! I'm a different person now. I'll be thinking about this piece all day!

[@KokoRicky]

I find at this point it's not particularly difficult to dissociate from "expected" frequencies and embrace all the microtonal elements at play here. It's extremely interesting and calming.

[@will_2320]

My experience with music has never been the same since I found your work; I can’t thank you enough for these experiences ★

[@macronencer]

Thank you for your work! I only have a basic grasp of microtonality, but I've always been a bit of a novelty junkie and so I always love to listen to beautiful new sounds like this.

[@futuristiccat5636]

Your music sounds futuristic and otherworldly

[@joelchenko6026]

thank you for breaking barriers with sounds at such an enlightening level

[@trashbirdie]

Lots of movement in this one, beautiful

[@lorenbonahooms9114]

A new dolomuse video always makes my day better ❤

[@PaigeUnderscore]

I love the way you create your synth patches very intentionally to highlight the super subtle wobbling of the chords when playing certain close harmonies, really beautiful piece as always!

[@louisaharkness9769]

what a gorgeous soundscape! you never disappoint, Dolomuse!

[@bystander85]

What you're exploring is incredibly inspiring.

[@joshuahelmeke]

There are a few software plug-ins out and about that mimic modular synthesis. I’d love to here your microtonal scale used in combination with simple wave forms...like a pulse waveform or triangle/sine waveform. It’s nice to see what was only theory back in the 90’s be realized and applied and even consumable by the average studio musician today. Your work seems to be the most cohesive out there. Thanks for your effort and example. It gives the rest of us a way to map out our ideas. At least, that’s been the case for me.

[@dannyjesse3655]

Wow, this is awesome! I think this might be my favorite piece of yours yet 🎉 Its cool to hear you incorporate more obviously rhythmic elements into your compositions. Im very excited to hear what you do next 🌈☺️

[@stevenschelling8452]

Alternate tunings are generally pretty hard for me to stomach but this is so gorgeous I have it on repeat. Genuinely amazing

Beautiful

[@organist1982]

I just learned that Lumatone came out with a 280-key version with 5 more keys than the initial version so that each rightward-angled column has 8 keys; I then realized this must be the latest version you're playing in this video, which explains why you used 56 EDO here instead of 55! :)

[@Hecatonicosachoron54]

Also welcome back!

[@AlbertKimMusic]

I need to hear a polychromatic string instrument now

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

Fretless guitar.

[@mindthreatx]

Feels like this device could benefit from the IR Beams to shape the sound somehow when raising your hands.

[@foxlistens2759]

you should totally do some longer ambient tracks and put them on spotify!!

[@officaldungeons]

This is so dope! I’d love to see some ability for more textural variance besides the great articulation you’ve already got going

[@cgibbard]

I only just realised for some reason how this type of layout can be really good for EDOs with a superpythagorean fifth, since you can force the diatonic scale to behave, whereas playing a major or minor scale on a Bosanquet layout comes out a bit wonky because of the three different step sizes that are needed then. It might even be nice for something as small as 22edo because of this. I'm curious if you're tuning each diatonic scale to a just major scale approximation or just minor scale approximation or still Pythagorean? Also might be fun to try playing around with a Wicki-Hayden analogue of this at some point, though that'd make non-diatonic intervals a bit harder to reach, so I might have to rearrange the colours to make sure that the intervals I want the most access to aren't too far.

[@dolomuse]

Great ideas! With a high-resolution 56 edo pitch collection, just-intoned scales can have many polychromatic variations for each diatonic mode. And intervallic/harmony intonation flexibility is increased. With the Lumatone, it seems easier and very intuitive to 'retire' accidentals from the notation system, and let pitch-colors indicate all micropitch gradations (A-G). We'll see if this approach creates other limitations.

I feel like all of us that like Dolomuse should start an intentional community around her music or something... I think I'm only half-kidding...

you should do a full album of this, sounds like what some distant alien species might listen to.

[@carlosernesto9744]

Me pregunto que pasará si tocas una composición antigua, en un instrumento así, ¿se deformara mucho?

[@meru_lpz]

Depende de qué afinación uses, el lumatone es un controlador que puedes usar para cualquier afinación así que está a tu elección :)

[@intervalkid]

Amazing how you have the beats synched up at the end! Very precise. Or is that a chorus effect?

[@MatsUnden]

I guess what you are hearing is the interference created by the simultaneous tones.

[@dolomuse]

This is more of an exploration of micro-intervals (pitch-colors), interacting to create unique qualities of audible shape and motion. Chorus seems to be a more global effect - affecting all intervals in the same way.

[@swapticsounds]

Do you play in a band? would be great to have several instruments combined. Or working together with some more rhythm/sound oriented electronical music artist. Sevish for example makes interesting microtonal drum`n`bass.
