'Toward the Continuum' | polychromatic 106

May I please have your permission to cover this?

Damn those #11-like (maybe it's like 7th and 11th harmonic?) voicings are super cool

Sometimes this will randomly pop in my head and will be stuck there. Love coming back to hear this wildly magnificent piece!

this is one of very few good polychromatic compositions I have heard. It's not just a 15 minute compilation of downshifts. The chord progressions are amazing

I HAVE to learn this on my 7-string. These chords and that range would be perfect for it! I think if I gave it some real effort, this translates super well into progressive metal. Love this.

wow i remember finding this years ago thinking it sounded so strange but after getting into microtonal music it sounds so normal now lol

feels like I'm in some other place.

Hit it Dolores!!

Incredibly sophisticated sense of harmony and tone quality even without the unusual tuning. Your songwriting is great too.

This has been one of my favorite songs ever for like 10 years now

nice!

eleven years later and still absolutely beautiful

how to kill my perfect pitch:

I have absolutely loved all of your beautiful polychromatic creations for about 5 years since the first time I came across it. Im so impressed and inspired by how comfortable you are painting with such a complicated brush. I show your songs to my friends and other musicians all the time. ❤❤❤

Beautiful ❤❤

A different microtonal keyboard from what I have seen before. This one is not hexagonal, but at the same time also not piano-style (which would be very impractical for 53-EDO let alone 106-EDO anyway).

this blows my mind...

I love twin peaks

It's really impressive that they've managed to make something microtonal that sounds so musical even to someone familiar with the western 12 note octave.

Where does one obtain or create such a wonderful instrument?

i've been listening to this song for 11 years it's amazing

I love this. It reminds me of the peaceful sound of a distant train horn – simultaneously soothing and powerful.

never fails to make me tear up

@waterlubber his comment thread is MEGA fkkn insightful

This sounds much like a soundtrack to Metroid series

👍

bit conformist but ok

With Rotational Polychromatics, Microtonal Music is now based on the Color Wheel instead of the Spectrum Pitch Colors, Which means the more wide than angle, the wider the interval. And please note that it uses the RGB Color Wheel so it means 3edo is the primary colors? 6edo is the secondary colors, 12edo is the tertiary colors, 24edo is the quaternary colors and 48edo is the quintiary colors. First, The Unison and the Octave starts with the color red, then the Hue Changes when you change the note. For example: A Tritone is Cyan and a Major 3rd is Green. So, No more Confusion for Sharp and Flat notes here, You can use Hue for this System. The Colors will be perfectly alligned if it's in 12n-EDO.

That first tone is sick (this good kind!).

this sounds like minecraft music from the 80s and also another planet

What instrument is that?

Ganondorf's Theme?

It would be sooo cool to hear this as a piano composition or a small sized symphony... <3

WOW! What instrument is that?

This is 8bit music dandy and Sega,

waa i want it for less than 100 thoundand dolars

I love how Delores lets those last few chords ring out for all eternity because they hit her in the feels so well.

This is so awesome omg very underated work

sheet music?

Damn I remember watching this video as a kid. I couldn’t believe what I felt. This video literally introduced me to sounds I had never heard in my life before. I wanted to learn how to play one of these so bad. Thank you for this masterpiece.

This one hits so hard

The ending literally brings tears to my eyes, reminding me of something from my childhood that I just can't put my finger in

this is just so beautiful, listen to it in the midst of the night, unbelievable

I'm not even sure you could put this in midi, which is a shame because i would love to hear someone produce this music

Brillant! Congratulations!

que merda
