This is a podcast that plays microtonal music, which is music that exploits tuning systems that are different from the standard 12 tone to the octave scale that's dominated Western Music for the past 500 years. On each show, I'll say a few words, then play a piece composed by one of many modern microtonal composers. I hope that this exposure will help you understand a little more of the world between the 2:1 and the 1:1.

Today's podcast is a piece by Jonathan Szanto, written for a dance performance. He writes:

Tidal Falls - I got called very late (4 weeks before performance) to create a score for a dance piece that already existed. The piece was metered, and has both metric and tempo changes in sections; therefore, the bulk of the piece already had an existing tempo/meter format. Flowing/falling water is the theme of the piece, including an actual working 'fountain' on stage that dancers go into. Water sounds were one of the requests.I looked at this piece as a good place to try getting better at some of my toolset, especially in seeing what happened when I started working with a lot of multiple instances of soft instruments - how far could I task my poor little DAW? The main compositional/recording/mixing application is Sonar 4.
