User:Pailiaq

pailiaq is an electronic music producer who refuses to continue writing about himself in the third person. I make psychedelic glitch hop, dubstep and downtempo music, often with a microtonal twist. I teach music production and sound design and have worked as a professional audio systems engineer, running psychoacoustics experiments and researched multichannel surround sound audio.

My special interests are in dual fifth tunings, particularly 23edo as a result of the TOTYW2025 effort in the XA discord to explore 23edo.

I have a youtube channel where I livestream music production, teach sound design, and explore xen theory.

Triad Explorer

A plot of all just intonation triads, where the X axis is the size is of the fifth (the span of the entire chord) and the y axis is the size ratio of the consecutive step sizes (e.g. a major chord in 12edo has a 4:3 ratio)
