Microtonal Guitar Institute presents Burak Akan playing Bach's Gigue from Violin Partita No. 2 arranged by Manuel Barrueco for the guitar. Burak Akan is a student at the guitar department at Istanbul Technical University, studying with me. We used Bach's student Johann Kirnberger's tuning (Kirnberger III) for this piece. The thirds are more natural than the 12tet in this tuning. For example, the tonic chord is D major with just major 3rd (D-F#) and a fifth (5.5 cents narrower than the perfect 5th).
Here are the cents:
D Eb-10 E-7 F-6 F#-14 G-2 G#-10 A-3.5 Bb-8 B-10.5 C-4 C#-12
Music: Violin Partita No. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1004 IV. Gigue
Arrangement: Manuel Barrueco
Guitarist: Burak Akan
Guitar: Adjustable Microtonal Guitar (www.microtonalguitar.org)

Hi Bill, as Seren Dipity would have it, here is a band and... "They are known for complex, microtonal compositions in the style of math rock and experimental rock, and an absurdist public image" and had a Luther build "... a double-necked hybrid instrument consisting of a Fender-Stratocaster-like guitar and bass, separately wired, and each with additional microtonal frets.[30][10] It was custom-built by a Saguenay-based luthier, which reportedly took over 150 hours of work to complete. The instrument includes oversized, phosphorescent fret markers on the side and top of the necks to compensate for Khn's impaired vision due to the mask."
ReplyDelete.. "During an interview ..., Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl praised the band, saying they "absolutely blew my fucking mind" and called the group "so completely bonkers, dude."

Angine de Poitrine (Canadian French:[ãʒɪn də pwatʁɪn][1][a]) is a Québécois[b] rock[discuss] duo formed in the Chicoutimi borough of Saguenay, Quebec, in 2019. It is composed of anonymous musicians performing under pseudonyms as guitarist Khn de Poitrine and drummer Klek de Poitrine. They are known for complex, microtonal compositions in the style of math rock and experimental rock, and an absurdist public image, featuring oversized papier-mâchémasks and black-and-white polka-dotted costumes.

Microtonal. Sycronicity, serendipity or just plain old creativity revealed.
Stravinsky's the Soldiers Tale uses microtonal
This quote was returned by DDGo, yet bot, or any links do NOT have this exact quote! And nor did google find it. I didn't try hard though.
"Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale does not primarily utilize microtones; instead, it features a unique blend of rhythms and styles, including jazz and tango influences. The work is characterized by its rhythmic complexity and the use of ostinato passages rather than microtonal elements."
Microtonal Guitar - Tolgahan Çoğulu would do well to give Angine de Poitrine one of the guitars as a promo. Just thought you may be interested... ymmv. Good of you to promote Microtonal Guitars by Tolgahan Çoğulu.
