THIS WEEK: Joe retrieves the logs of a derelict spaceship while hearing suspicious stories from two AI companions with Isaac Schankler's work in Analogue: A Hate Story and Peter races into the Blue Falcon to show off power of Mode 7 on Super Nintendo in F-Zero.
On this episode of Now&Xen, we talk with electronic guru Isaac Schankler about his relationship with microtonality as a composer, reasons to use just intonation or equal temperament, and creative ways to re-tune instruments during performance to mess with expectation. His piece “Alien Warp Etude,” performed by Aaron Kallay, creatively chunks out the 5 + 7 nature of the keyboard with scales a neutral third apart from each other. Be sure to check out the recent album he put out in March to help with the coronavirus, “Songs To Wash Your Hands To!” Music Intro: Alien Warp Etude - Isaac Schankler Rad - Enno Pope Prologue - Gérard Grisey Fugitive Objects - Kyle Gann The Source - Ted Hearne Ja ṛêvzur (The Moonflower) - Herman Miller Wash Your Hands - Stephen Weigel Mystery Curve - An Exciting Event Microscopic Germs - An Exciting Event/Xenharmonic Praxis Light and Power (Act II, Scene 4) - Isaac Schankler Outro: Because Patterns/Deep State - Isaac Schankler Check out Isaac’s compilation album “Songs to Wash Your Hands To,” and his music! https://isaacschankler.bandcamp.com/album/songs-to-wash-your-hands-to https://open.spotify.com/artist/6p42MdIzaIRwgneYbTxiy2?si=z6d0aRe3S2-W4wvoyDBGTQ Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/nowandxen Follow http://nowandxen.libsyn.com https://twitter.com/now_xen https://www.facebook.com/nowxen/ Subscribe RSS: http://nowandxen.libsyn.com/rss iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/n… Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1mhnGsH… Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/nowxen Twitter: https://twitter.com/now_xen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nowxen/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmYNMpemAIq8DnK5HJ9gsA

Electro-baby-non-pop. Performance ritual? Isaac envisions a performance ritual in which the performer sits in the center of the room, there are speakers situated all around the edge of the room, and the audience chills out in the space between, just soaking in the music.

Getting rejected from a ton of jobs after college. It was a good thing, because Isaac ended up looking outside of the box and getting into video game music, computer music research, etc. Something besides music that you’re obsessed with right now?

Hey everyone, welcome to our first very special episode, of a hopefully long-running series called Gameography! If you need to know what Gameography is, take a look at this prior postexplaining it. If you insist on the tl;dr version, we picked a game maker we really liked and played through her entire history of games and talked about them as a whole body of work. In this case, our first subject was one of our favorites, Christine Love!I have to admit, we were very nervous going into this episode, trying to do something a little different than usual. As such, we would love any sort of feedback about our process, and anything we might do better next time a gameography episode happens. As always, you can bother us on twitter, or email us at abnormalmappingpodcast @ gmail.com.Gameography: Christine LoveCell Phone Love LetterHeart of FireSketchbook: Schoolgirls in Love and Other Assorted HeartbreakDigital: A Love Storydon’t take it personally, babe, it just ain’t your storyAnalogue: A Hate StoryDiving DeeperEven Cowgirls BleedMagical Maiden MadisonHate PlusNext Month’s Game:Ace Combat 6: Fires of LiberationMusic This EpisodeBlown Away by Kevin McLeodThe Stars Come Out by Brother AndroidIt’s Not Ero by Isaac Schankler (feat.
