Musical jam I did with this tuning is included.
Rowan sent me this list as a thought experiment for a scale…various ratios involving π (Pi):
1, π/12, π/6, π/4, π/3, 5π/12, π/2, 7π/12, 2π/3, 3π/4, 11π/12 and π.
I used GROK to convert it to numbers (rounded down to 2 places), then ratios, plugged them into SCALA, made a file (.MID file and .SCL tuning files zipped here), and made this song using a VST I made, Microtone 5000, after importing the tuning file.
1/1
13/50
13/25
79/100
21/20
131/100
157/100
183/100
209/100
59/25
74/25
157/50
Truly fascinating, but then I’m prejudiced…(grins)
I am not a musician and do not understand music theory very much, but I have been listening to the music of Biptunia for several months and I am impressed by their experimentation and how they try to work with different influences, I guess in this case pi and ratios of it. I find it very interesting, and it seems to create songs that otherwise would not exist. Greetings from Vienna, Austria where we also have musical innovation!
Glad you like it. the math breaks my brain but it’s easier now with AI. And hey, if I made a mistake, it still sounds cool, and that makes it even more mine. lol. (and Rowan’s)
Yes, Vienna sure has had a lot of musical innovation! not for a while as far as I know. If there is good stuff there now, let me know.
