I'm Aura. If you wish to address me by my real name, call me Dawson. While I started my first mircotonal piece in 2014, I'm only just starting to get more serious about microtonality. | I'm Aura.

So far, all I have is the composition software itself, but it would be great to have advanced synthesizers, vocals, and even instruments in the [https://nvfa.org/8tet.html The New Violin Family] available for performance. The only problem? Money... Go figure... | So far, all I have is the composition software itself, but it would be great to have advanced synthesizers, vocals, and even instruments in the [https://nvfa.org/8tet.html The New Violin Family] available for performance.

I wrote this experimental song in 24edo, and it 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.
