Hi! I'm primarily a music theorist and singer nowadays, though most of my musical training is in classical piano and cello.
My musical experience
Piano and keyboard: 2004–2017 (K–12), 2022–present
Cello: 2009–2017 (Grades 5–12)
Voice: 2020–present
- Voice type: Baritone / bass-baritone
- Chest voice: E♭2 to E4 (77–340 Hz)
- Can go down to D2 (72–74 Hz) if needed
- Can belt up to ~G4 (390–400 Hz), A♭4 (415–425 Hz) on occasion
- Mixed voice: C4–C5 (260–540 Hz)
- Falsetto and head voice: D4 to E♭5 (290–630 Hz)
- Can reach E5 (655–665 Hz) and F5 (695–705 Hz)
- Chest voice: E♭2 to E4 (77–340 Hz)
I've also been told I have "perfect pitch" since I acquired the ability to recognise notes (in A = 440 Hz and 12edo) from a young age, though I have grown increasingly disdainful towards the terms "perfect pitch" and "absolute pitch" since late 2022.
Favourite tunings
Main interests within Western music
Most Western musicians only know 12edo, and my musical background is mainly classical, so my main interests have been in Pythagorean and meantone. I'm quite active in church despite being non-religious, and most of the alternative tunings I introduce to others are flatter-than-12 meantones as they're relatively easy to get into. I also give them a brief rundown on the rationale behind why,
- Quarter tones (24edo) as an extension of 12edo with good approximations of the no-sevens 11- and 13-odd limit
- Sixth tones (36edo) as an extension of 12edo with very accurate harmonic sevenths
- 19edo as ⅓-comma meantone
- 31edo as ¼-comma meantone
- 43edo as ⅕-comma meantone, currently my favourite alternative tuning for post-Mediǣval Western music
Beyond traditional Western music
For xenharmony and music beyond meantone, 27edo and 46edo are my main tunings of interest.
