Vacant vibe (31 TET Microtonal)

[@muntthedubious_9308]

Reject the chromatic scale. Embrace the *STANK!*

[@digao726]

I've never heard this kind of music before, but I think this is one of the coolest styles I've ever heard.

[@beheld165]

Thank you man! What a great compliment

[@kosher3425]

Reminds me of when I'd stare at the moving trees when I was younger. This is pretty good.

[@beheld165]

Thanks dude

[@soundofmouse]

It sounds like I'm inside of a piano players heart

[@333_studios]

You have repackaged the presentation of this music so well. Makes it much more approachable

[@smik5304]

God, YT has been killing it with the recommendations lately

[@thesecret111]

Interesting it's like a new world that hasn't born yet but is right there. I can relate to this song and the video gives congruent empahis of the idea

[@beheld165]

Deep thinking man, enter the xenharmonic world if you want to loose yourself more

[@1wertyuiop1wertyuiop]

Amazing never heard anything like this before

[@beheld165]

Thanks man, you definitely need to check out the work of the others microtonal artists on YT if you like this kind of tune, you won't be disappointed!

[@luca_under_limit]

Woah idk how I found this but it's really wacky sounding and I love it.

[@beheld165]

Maybe because of the use of microtonal intervals, which give some detune feelings and sound harsh in some chords

[@kanokadany113]

No idea how the algorithm got me here, but I'm not complaining ^-^

[@AnalogX1]

I really adore this piece!

[@beheld165]

Thanks dude!

[@SpinThwomp]

this is good music for not thinking, I love it btw whats the anime in the video?

[@beheld165]

"Weathering with you", I greatly respect the work of Makoto Shinkai

[@potbelly2950]

it gives off boards of canada vibes :)

[@bulletinboardoflife]

I do notice possible traces of the frustrating limitations of most microtonal implementations. The cool clonking and sweeping chords on piano(?) are in a relatively limited range of less than one octave, which doesn't bother me but then I think about how easy it usually is to write wide-ranging keyboard or synth parts and how that is lost when I map 31 to my keyboard. Also the piano sounds a little like the timbres are bent very far from other notes. At any rate I love Vacant Vibe and would love to hear the tune expanded!

[@Thomas-yl8lb]

yeah...

[@Anirlon]

Love it! Got a very cool sound here

[@diamondlion47]

Really great track. The way you make the off-sounding chords resolve in such unique, jazzy and smooth ways here is really amazing. So much microtonal music I've heard is strident and atonal, but this really feels like every chord is meant to be there if you know what I mean.

[@beheld165]

I try to be attentive enough to make progressions with tension and release, but afterwards the process is quite random I must admit! Thanks for the comment

[@ichabod9198]

This is really cool. Thank you for posting.

[@saisidarth9058]

Dunno why this video was recommended to me, but i love the atmosphere this song gives! What's microtones btw?

[@beheld165]

Really don't know too, but I appreciate your feedback! So, microtones are smaller intervals between two notes than usual, which make some chords too flat or too sharp for exemple, and give some weird and original feeling to the music. In this case, the octave (the space between a note and same note in higher tone) is divided in 31 intervals/notes, but usually, we listen and compose music which is divided in 12 intervals/notes. I swear it's a little bit clearer now, and if you appreciate this concept, you definitely have to check out some others microtonal artists out of the tube !

[@saisidarth9058]

@@beheld165 oo sounds interesting, thanks for explanation, any recommendations on other microtonal artists?

[@beheld165]

@@saisidarth9058 sure! If you want some microtonal pop/rock, you can search for Xotla or Brendan Byrnes, for trippy electronical tunes Hexana/Nae Ayy/Sevish/Sven Karma, for more classical stuff Norokusi or Randy Wells, and for random funny microtonal pieces Stephen Wiegel. Special thinking for my favorite artist, Benyamind! There are lot of artists I forget to mention, so I swear you gonna loose your way in this weird world, good luck!

@@saisidarth9058 Listen to Elaine Walker as well if you haven't yet. She's probably my favorite xenharmonic/microtonal composer.

damn this blew up lol, cool vibes as usual

[@beheld165]

Thanks my dude

[@Jim_and_Nic_Music]

What program and equipment did you use to make this? it sounds really cool and unique!

[@beheld165]

Thanks dude! I'm writing music on FL Studio and I especially use the Sforzando VST which got an huge library of microtonal scales on his website, really easy to use. I don't have a lot of equipments, I don't have keys and speakers yet, so my laptop is the only gear I use to create somme stuff

can i make a slowed down version of this song and post it to my channel?

As long as I'm credited, no worries! I'll be curious to see this version!

[@bramp3914]

It seems like a lot of people who don't listen to microtonal music are being recommended this. How is that happening for such a small channel?

[@beheld165]

That is a mystery. But it's cool to introduce them to this music concept, and I'm happy to sharing my tunes with unknown people

[@valentinaman2257]

Can I find this kind of music on spotify? What should i search for there?

[@beheld165]

I'm pretty sure you can find some Sevish tunes on Spotify, but if you want to listen others artists, you have to search on bandcamp and similar plateforms

[@g-ray7121]

Personally I like 26edo more, but that's just my tastes. The song is good.

[@beheld165]

26 TET really is a cool system too! The Xen Zone made a cool video about it

Cool throwback, i'm glad it makes you feel that way!

[@williamroe8905]

hey what chords are those?

[@beheld165]

i don't know, i'm unable to name those chords, I wrote them on the piano roll of FL Studio, which stay in a 12 TET language. To write the octave of a C5 in 31 TET for example, I have to write a G7, I don't now how to name microtonal intervals sorry
