@MILESmobility warum gibt es keine Tankstellen mehr in Berlin?

@mannfishh Great chords! I guess the accidental for 63° in the division into 8 parts at 0:38 should be flipped.

@mannfishh 12:19:31 is great

i was messing around with combination tones and i liked how stupidly cadential this was (31/7 to 19/12)

From last week : the joy of a rare live concert in these times. youtu.be/tvm9X2ba4gA

@mannfishh The fact of the matter is that 31/20 is only 6 cents shy of 14/9, and as a difference tone structure 5:9:14 and 11:20:31 are very similar, especially when presented in a somewhat crude fashion

and if you're wondering if such an interval is actually playable, here's austin wulliman of the illustrious jack quartet demonstrating a 31/20 last year

@mannfishh Any interval is playable in isolation, carefully constructed, using a tuner and allowing time to check for potential combination tones. Whether or not it makes sense in certain practical contexts within an actual piece of music...without tuners...tuneability is a multilevel story

@jasonamartineau @mannfishh Doing it by means of frequency means (so in the vein of combination tones à la KOAN and similar) is just one method for arriving at that effect.

@mannfishh It strikes me as similar to the spectral approach, that you are generating sidebands based on the operator tones and then repeating iterations, which is why, at least to my ears, as the harmonies fill out, they more closely resemble an overtone series template. Is that not it?

you might ask, why are you splitting frequencies this way when we percieve pitch logarithmically rather than linearly? and my answer would be i dont know, someones gotta do it

@jasonamartineau @mannfishh The reasoning for the harmonic series effect is simpler than even you suggest...as you add more frequencies of an harmonic series, the more that particular series is solidified in perception.

@mannfishh Always lovely to listen to 7 without 5

8/7 #scale

@mannfishh Woops maybe another export corruption? The septimal symbol in the first interval should be inverted...
