<u>What was your path to discovering alternate tunings?</u>
<u>What was your path to discovering alternate tunings?</u>


I found microtuning while delving into the harmonic series, and I developed a particular fascination with the eleventh harmonic.  So much so, that in 2014, I wrote the first version of my first microtonal piece in 24-EDO, "Folly of a Drunk", under the working title "Folly".  Notably, the first version of this piece featured a modulation from a microtonality-enhanced version of key of A- alternating between Major and Minor- to a microtonality-enhanced version of the key of G-Demisharp Minor, all by use of chords built on 24-EDO's versions of both the eleventh harmonic and the eleventh subharmonic.

(I'll be happy to share this piece in the future once everything's in place, as I only just recently finalized the 24-EDO version. Trust me, this little ragtime-esque song is an earworm, and yes, it still has the aforementioned modulation, albeit with improvements...)

The song that started


An experimental piece called "Anticipation", which I wrote in 24edo that runs through 1edo, 2edo, 3edo, 4edo, 6edo and 8edo- though not in that order- before going to quartertone-enhanced traditional tonality in 24edo itself.

A pair of weird and creepy microtonal songs that are the remnants of my participation in the music composition for a videogame- don't worry, I still own the rights to these songs since I asked to have them back when my work relationship with the budding company fell through.  If I recall correctly, both were written in an approximation of 94edo.  The first one is called "Deadlands", and the second is called "The Forgotten".
