17ET Jazz

17 ET Jazz

This is a hybrid performance / scored microtonal piece using Kontakt 3, pianoteq, sonar 8.5, and a Korg MS2000 as a midi controller.

Kontakt contributes drums, upright bass, sax section, and trumpet.

Pianoteq 2.3 contributes the jazz piano.

The drums were scored first, bass second and then other instruments played along with that. The goal was to keep the composition to 60 seconds or less since this is a submission to the Chicago 60×60 event (not selected at this time).

The main motive is a 17 ET analog to a suspended 4th to major 3rd in common practice 12 edo tuning.
