Yak Butter

Hi all

The Stern Brocot Band have a new video of us recording a microtonal piece called Yak Butter. It's in porcupine 1L, 6s scale. I'm playing on a QWERTY keyboard through Relayer into 2032 and TransFormSynth. Maxime Canelli is playing guitar, Vassilis Angelis drums, and Simon Holland is on the cello. It was recorded at the OU's Music Research Studio and engineered and mixed by Jim Hoyland. You can see it here...

Very nice! This is in the sssLsss mode with the tonic as ~440 Hz, right?

What tuning is the guitar playing in?

Hi Mike

That's correct (the reference tuning was "concert" D4). The open guitar strings were tuned to the MOS scale degrees, and Maxime used bending - some of the time - to keep the fretted pitches in the correct tuning.
