zhea erose - accidental upload | lumatone improvisation

[@StainlessHelena]

This is a Bob Ross level happy little accident. I love to see more unscripted videos like this one, especially with an instrument like the lumatone. Even if you think it's boring, it's a joy to listen to for plebs like me for whom anything outside 12edo still sounds otherworldly and sometimes "wrong".

[@ZheannaErose]

glad to hear that. this improv is definitely boring to me. i originally recorded it with a really slick synth patch but for some reason swapped it to piano. scheduled to upload. planned to redo it with the synth patch. then a week passed and it went live >,

Feels like a Satie piece half caught between a dream and a frustration.

[@Skatche]

I had a revelation while listening to this. The mind favours intervals whose ratios are based on small integers, such as 3:2 or 4:3. But it equally disfavours intervals for which a harmonic of one tone is approximately equal to a harmonic of the other -- that's what creates the "beats" effect between two clashing notes. Those are precisely the intervals for which ax1 approximately equals bx2, where x1 and x2 are the tonal frequencies and a and b are large integers within an order of magnitude of each other.

[@amyashlyn9293]

You're at it again, advance tuning my brain. I find it satisfying when every so often you hit pure interval major chords, that grinding sound is unmistakable. I'm impressed with your ability to take on the challenge of learning to play such a complex keyboard.

[@SerenadeSystemsIncorporated]

I love the chord groove around 2 minutes in

[@Nae_Ayy]

Boring just means it's perfect to go to sleep to lmao I've noticed that ever since I've dived into microtonality, that the "off" notes no longer sound alien, just like any other interval. Oftentimes I can't even tell I'm listening to a microtonal piece. Good shit here. Even if it's boring to you, I'm into it.

[@pocayonom]

God the beatings/pureness of major chords are phenomenal. Like a flavour felt for the first time.

[@Potatointhehood]

cutie is back 3;

[@baker8584]

I swear the microtones make this feel even more nostalgic

[@rakas_kone]

i had no idea what to expect and i love it

this was so nice to listen to. thanks

[@BHGiant3]

Thank you for keeping this up. This is wonderful.

[@archduke2277]

impeccable vibes

[@yhwhechad8]

hey thanks. this was quite beautiful

[@LittleMissLuna232]

simply so much fun to watch

[@TachyBunker]

Awesome stuff.

[@woomy8971]

what a cool instrument!

[@rdm7770]

This is amazing \m/

[@ArturoGuevaralml]

I really enjoy this! love x

[@constantinknab]

please make more lumatone videos, it's a very interesting instrument and you play it so well

[@art-h_music]

I reallly love that concept and thats something i want to try really! I kinda understood the concept of this kind of piano, but can i ask you, correct me if im wrong, is it like there are 2 rows where the higher notes are tuned 50+ or there are 3 rows of same keys? I know, each note is unique, im asking in case of CDEFGAB scale 😅

[@Mr.Meowgical]

Could watch you play the Lumatone for hours. I really hope I get to even touch one some day :**(

[@arandomnerd1898]

Yes please thank you!

Thank ewe for the music Amelia, laying about in a field and humming to your music, being a sheep for a Day, see JB Bach’s face rapt with Joy ❤ from Petra-Brown xxx

[@kyokay7794]

What is the name of this instrument ?

[@cronosvandust313]

Lumatone, didn't you see the video name???

[@franciscofernandez8183]

Lumatone. It's an isomorphic keyboard, which makes it particularly usefull for non 12 tone types of scales.

[@Aurora-oe2qp]

@@cronosvandust313 the lumatone could've referred to more things than the name of the instrument, if you don't already know the name of it, it isn't that obvious.

[@chasemolenaar2161]

What tet/edo?

[@gabrielrangel956]

also, what's the layout?

[@benyamind]

I think 34-EDO

[@camtaylormusic]

31edo. Notice all of the diatonic classic major/minor stuff, the "negative pythagorean comma" (diminished second) diesis shift, and the 7+7+7+5+5=31-tone layout.

[@joana8502]

the keyboard follows a 5L2s pattern, 5+5+3+5+5+5+3 = 31. there are two main directions (shown by the colours), along which increments are 5 and 3 (increments are 2 = 5-3 in the third direction). so it really is a direct generalization of the 12-tone keyboard.

[@randomties4123]

✨💖✨ so chill ☺️

[@FoxywithaRubikscube]

What scale are you using?

[@vettelfinger1025]

Это так нежно и наивно, очень приятно

[@mechuniversal]

What was the tuning here? Really neat

[@4apla1n]

this is microtonal keyboard(lumatone), there is we haven’t 12-TET standard, we have 31, for better understanding check some info in internet about it, it’s really interesting

[@mechuniversal]

@@4apla1n So you are saying this one was in 31EDO? I have the lumatone, it is really neat. Still learning a lot about the tunings

[@4apla1n]

@@mechuniversal about model in this video idk but standard lumatone is 31

[@trashbirdie]

You, Dolores Catherino Alois Hába and Charles Ives are my favorite microtonal musicians!

[@astrocat2008]

☺And let's not forget some of Ivan Wyschnegradsky's almost 90 years old pieces…

[@katelyn7359]

Fun

[@BlairBenzel]

✨✨✨

[@Skatche]

Wait, shit, I think I finally got the joke. Accidental is a pun.

[@ZheannaErose]

no joke! it was literally an accidental upload. i scheduled it but forgot. i wasnt gonna release this.

[@Skatche]

@@ZheannaErose Lol, yeah, I was incredibly drunk when I left these two comments.

[@glo-wrm]

cool shit

[@Synths-n-Guitar]

Beautiful Beautiful, it definitely needs lyrics to make it completely.
