Sevish - So Thankful (microtonal music)

Microtonal electronic music from Sevish's album Harmony Hacker - https://sevish.bandcamp.com/album/harmony-hacker

Blackwood decatonic - one of those legendary microtonal scales. And it's a great example of a tuning that has some familiar chords that connect in unfamiliar (massively un-diatonic) ways. While you listen to So Thankful, listen out for a series of 6 chords that descend. You'll hear this series repeatedly throughout the song. These six chords alternate (minor major minor major etc.) in a way that the Western 12-tone equal tempered scale can't achieve. Give it a try and see what happens.

What I like most about microtonal music is that it can be very familiar and pleasant but also novel and unexpected (in an awesome way). Of course, you can also use microtonality to create massive dissonance, way more harsh sounding than any 12-tet music, but where's the fun in that?!! Microtonal scales offer countless doorways to exciting and new original sounds - WE (the musicians of the world) should be exploring these new ideas without ever forgetting the importance of moving butts.

Life has been busy for me the last few months. There's a chance that I'll change roles at work, which will make things even busier and more tiring. During these times hobbies can suffer. Music is one of those hobbies. :( But I've been putting all of my music-related earnings into a special pot so I can replace the aging laptop that was used to write my last few releases. What this means is: I'm still very much interested in music and I plan to explore a lot more of my ideas, but I'll need a lot of patience from all you wonderful folks. Things may get quiet here for a while, perhaps even dry up for months at a time, but I intend to return. And when I return the microtones (and odd time signatures) are returning with me.
