So-called hit single from "An Udderbot Xmas" (unfinished, 2007). Jacob Barton on udderbots, vocals, gong (that's all there is!).

Amateuroso music video created Xmas 2010 by JAB+TES3+Leaves of Grass.

STEREO FIELDAGE: use headphones or decent speakers to honor your attentiveness.

TUNING NOTE: This piece is tuned to an 11-note subset of 19 equal divisions of the octave, a "kleismic" chain of minor thirds.

METRIC NOTE: As drawn poorly on the pavement, the udderbot drum machine moves *smoothly* from a 16-beat pattern to a 17-beat pattern by way of 11 (nexus at 2:05), using the same kind of process used to generate the tuning, but applied to rhythm. Credit due to Erv Wilson and others.

Udderly Bizarre video !

And I thought you were explaining that the ancient* *petroglyphs our
ancestors left in caves were actually microtonal music notations.

I thought he was explaining non-Euclidean geometry to an unseen audience.
