Collection of EDO impressions: Difference between revisions

Line 293:

: '''Yourmusic Productions:''' Not enough songs using this to get a proper opinion. Definitely one of the tougher ones to get to grips with.

: '''Carmen14edo/Bragtime:''' Thanks, I hate it. Eikositriophobia exists for a reason.

: '''Deja Igliashon:''' 23edo is the first EDO I've liked enough to write [[Deja Igliashon|two full albums]] in, exclusively. It is probably my favorite EDO ever, I've even thought about getting the 23edo [[circle of fifths|circle of flat fifths]] tattooed on my lower back! At first I thought 23edo was like [[21edo]], i.e. "it sounds better than it looks like it should", but then I realized I just wasn't looking at it the right way. It has amazingly-accurate representations of 3:5:7:11:19:27:29 and 9:13:15:17:21:23:25:31:33 (I'm probably missing some additional harmonics TBH)...because OH YEAH it's simply half of [[46edo]], and 46edo is a phenomenal [[rank-1 ~~temperament~~]] for super-extended [[JI]]! It's actually surprisingly easy to stumble into some really smooth near-JI harmonies in 23edo, provided you're not trying to play basic [[5-limit]] triads. Although honestly even 23edo's version of [[Mavila]] temperament sounds unexpectedly smooth...I think there's something funky going on with those 678¢ fifths where a whole bunch of clashing partials all have nearly identical beat frequencies or something? IDK, but either way I have found 23edo to be the most inspiring, deep, and intriguing EDO I've laid hands on (and I've laid hands on a LOT).

: '''Fumica:''' Potentially useful as every other step of [[46edo]]. D-tier.

: '''Budjarn Lambeth:''' A great EDO to begin experimenting with [[octave stretching]] and squishing. With pure octaves, it sounds out of tune, but stretch it by about 10 [[cents]], and you get access to the full array of pretty no-13s [[59-limit]] harmonies. ''Compress'' it by about 10 cents, and you instead get access to the full array of no-19s [[37-limit]] harmonies. Both tunings punch far above their weight by having lots of consonances in only 23 notes. Experiment with both the stretched and squished versions of 23edo, to get a feeling for how stretching or squishing a scale can shift its underlying harmonies dramatically while preserving its melodic shape.
