Yahoo Tuning Groups Ultimate Backup makemicromusic Re: [tuning] 60x60 now to include microtonal mix

Hello everybody.

I seem to be the first one to announce an entry to the 60x60 event. My entry of 1 minutes is titled "East Dreams West". I already submitted the piece online, and thus feel safe in making it public as an mp3 file:

http://www.ozanyarman.com/files/music/East_Dreams_West.mp3

"East Dreams West" is a noble quasi-Waltz for Chamber String Orchestra reminscent of the Romantic Age and realized in a 12 tone subset out of 17 equal divisions of the octave.

Aside from the bursting melancholy of Bb minor in this tuning, the piece reflects a strong contrast through Arabicized Huzzam & Rast maqam flavours in 5/8 and 9/8 rhythms.

It was composed using Sibelius+Scordatura by H-Pi instruments and processed with Logic Pro.

Special thanks to Aaron Krister Johnson for his kind invitation and encouragement.

Comments welcome!

Cordially,
Oz.

Hello everybody.

I seem to be the first one to announce an entry to the 60x60 event. My
entry of 1 minutes is titled "East Dreams West". I already submitted
the piece online, and thus feel safe in making it public as an mp3 file:

http://www.ozanyarman.com/files/music/East_Dreams_West.mp3

"East Dreams West" is a noble quasi-Waltz for Chamber String Orchestra
reminscent of the Romantic Age and realized in a 12 tone subset out of
17 equal divisions of the octave.

Aside from the bursting melancholy of Bb minor in this tuning, the
piece reflects a strong contrast through Arabicized Hüzzam & Rast
maqam flavours in 5/8 and 9/8 rhythms.

It was composed using Sibelius+Scordatura by H-Pi instruments and
processed with Logic Pro.

Special thanks to Aaron Krister Johnson for his kind invitation and
encouragement.

It says:

Works submitted must not have been previously performed or broadcasted.

I reasoned that I already submitted my piece before making it public,
so it hasn't been performed or broadcasted before my submission.

That's the spirit. The piece is about the "Western aspiration of
dreamy East". In its slumber, East suddenly recalls its own idiom,
only to revert back to its reverie of the West.

Oh I forgot--I did upload it to NetNewMusic early this morning, so never mind; I guess it has been published. ~D.

Yeah, I'm a little confused about what constitutes a "performance" or
"broadcast". I interpreted it to mean a professional, public performance, either live or recorded, or it being a more-or-less official release as a single or on an album.

I'm asking since the only place I'm publicly posting my own work is here on MMM. I'm only storing it on my website for now; there's not even a link to it on my Music page.

But if this disqualifies the piece, it's okay; I just came up with this yesterday while goofing off at my favorite coffee place in Central Austin (the only place I know of that has both Turkish coffee and wifi). At least I know I like the sound of an organ tuned to all "wolf" intervals...
