new microtonal album released: ZRM

Hi all,

I've just put the finishing touches on my second album release for this
year.

The name of the new album is "Zhxrghaenian Night Melodies", or "ZRM".
It contains ten compositions, totalling 53 minutes.

The songs were done entirely in realtime on the the Mac and all instruments
used are softsynths, with one exception. I used more than 25 different
softsynths and softsamplers to make the album. The album was recorded in
both OS 9 and OS X. In OS 9, the retuning was done using LMSO and in OS X,
the retuning was done using LMSO X.

The one exception to the 'all-softsynths' is that I did use a Katagotan on
one track, which is best described as a cross between a guitar and a koto.

Six of the ten pieces use nonoctave tunings. Two use Rational Intonation.
All of the pieces use unusual tunings, one piece has timbres matched to the
tuning used, three pieces make use of polymicrotonality. The moods range
from meditative to frentic dance.

Here are the names of the tracks and the tuning used:

1 Nighttime
9th root of 7/3

2 Alligator Scamperizo
17tET

3 Ahrphck Zo Dance-Magic 2023
Celestial Interference

4 Sihnuan Gamelan
Pelog from Gamelan Gambang, Krobokan village

5 Synchronicity
11tET and 17tET

6 The Expanse Beneath
Celestial Interference

7 Sirius¹ Supper with his Troubled Brother
Ligon Harmonic Mirror #4 and Just Tritone w/spectrums matched

8 Inuition
88cET

9 Kaelenthe¹s Lake
Ligon Harmonic Mirror #4

10 Echelon/Suns rise on Ilaxth
Celestial Interference, Just Tritone and Aleatoric Katagotan

The album is eminently listenable and most who have heard advance copies
have been pleased with it. It's the sort of thing that would not overtly
disturb a very conservative person, but on the other hand it might just blow
the mind of someone who is extremely avant-garde. For persons curious about
what is possible with nonoctave tunings, this will certainly be of special
interest.

The album is available for $12. Shipping and handling are $3.
Persons interested in obtaining this CD can just email me for details.

Thanks!
