Klingon Opera Overture (17et)

This an improvisation with layered software synthesizers. Specifically, various percussion ensemples, french horn, piano, and two synthesizers. At one point I forgot what in the world I was doing because I transposed the arpeggio synth down 12 notes when I meant it to be an octave - which would mean 17 notes of course.

I like how alien it sounds in places and that aspect I will follow up because that is truly the microtonal music I wish to compose.

Hey Chris,

This was quite awesome, even more so that it's an improv (at which I am
quite weak myself!). Really seamless & (forgive me) not at all
alien-sounding, but surely xenharmonic enough. Though, I wonder if the
piano is a Terran import? Very well done.

Um, I seem to crave some expensive vintage of blood-wine & a good
head-butt...

Qapla' loDnI'wI'!

Thanks for the listen and comment!!

And yes, the piano is a spoil of war won honorably in battle :-)
