From: Andrew Heathwaite (2004-06-08) Subject: Duo for Duodene Hi there, I want to share with you a new piece. It is called Duo for Duodene, and you can find it at my SoundClick site: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/3/andrewheathwaitemusic.htm It is the result of a collaboration between myself and a fellow microtonalist. We each created material to use (four small original synthesizer audio clips) and separately recombined the material to formulate a piece. Duo for Duodene represents my microtonal partner's mix. My own is not finished yet. You'll find it is very different from the other work on my SoundClick site because the bulk of the work was not done by me (I only provided some material), and it uses sounds outside of the FM7. I think you'll enjoy it. For a tuning, we used Ellis's Duodene: 0: 1/1 0.000 unison, perfect prime 1: 16/15 111.731 minor diatonic semitone 2: 9/8 203.910 major whole tone 3: 6/5 315.641 minor third 4: 5/4 386.314 major third 5: 4/3 498.045 perfect fourth 6: 45/32 590.224 diatonic tritone 7: 3/2 701.955 perfect fifth 8: 8/5 813.686 minor sixth 9: 5/3 884.359 major sixth, BP sixth 10: 9/5 1017.596 just minor seventh, BP seventh 11: 15/8 1088.269 classic major seventh 12: 2/1 1200.000 octave I'd be interested in your responses.

Excellent work/play! (see below)

Ooooh, I hate mysteries. No matter, it is a very nice piece, and very well
produced. Frankly, it reminds me of some of the music I've been listening
to a *lot* lately, but I mean that in a very positive vein.
Not wanting to cross-pollinate threads, but you mentioned branching to JI
at some point, and this track made me think about your work: it seems that
you are a very melodically-focused player/composer, as opposed to working a
lot on harmonic/chord progressions. In this respect, JI tunings may not (I
emphasize *may*) jump out at you as being gigantically different. People
can correct me here, but JI has strong roots in its harmonic sense, and
melodies grow from that ground. But you should explore as you see fit.
It would also be a VERY swell thing if we can get you to tackle things not
limited to 12 pitches. Seems like you are a better muso than that!
Thanks for sharing the new work, and get your Collaboratist to show his/her
face around here...
Cheers,
Jon
From: kraig grady (2004-06-08) Subject: Re: [MMM] Duo for Duodene From what i have noticed Jonathan, it is that JI occurs more in melodically based music than in harmonic. It is in harmonic where one has to get tones to serve more than one function, where as with melody, a strong defined relations to others is exactly what one wants. I remember Lou also mentioning that it was the melodic capability that attracted him to JI. Often on these list though , one thinks of JI in the harmonic sense "Jonathan M.

As I so aptly put, "people may correct me here". Kraig, with all your work
in these tunings, I accept your remarks, and will look at JI in *all* ways
from here on out!
Cheers,

I can take a very small fraction of the credit for this piece, as I merely supplied some short audio files. My collaborist, Jacky Ligon, did most of the work. > >It is the result of a collaboration between myself and a fellow > >microtonalist.

I sent Jacky the audio by email, and he assembled the piece from that and from his own materials. He then snail-mailed me a CD-R of the piece, along with his own audio fragments. I ripped these files to my hard disk and uploaded it to SoundClick from there. Now that I've received his audio fragments, I'll be able to create my own conconction... but not until I find the time. If we attempt another collaboration, I hope that more of it can be done over the internet. At any rate, it was fun and interesting. Best, Andrew __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

The fellow microtonalist with which I collaborated is Jacky Ligon. Mystery
solved. ;<)

I think he did a great job with it. If my own concoction of the same
material comes out half that good, I'll be very proud.

Oh, they definitely do seem gigantically different to me in some ways, but
I'm finding that much of what I've "learned" through working with equal
temperaments holds meaning in a JI universe. At any rate, I absolutely
adore exploring the differences as well as the similarities.
Perhaps I am primarily melodically-focused. I've never considered it.
You've given me something to reflect upon. Thanks!

Thank you! This summer, I intend to purchase X. J. Scott's Li'l Miss' Scale
Oven, which will allow me tune up anything I can dream up. In a way, it
might be good that I've been limited. I imagine it's keeping me focused,
and possibly preventing me from going insane.
Thanks for listening, and I'm glad you enjoyed the piece.
Best,
Andrew
