Composer-performer Erica dal Bassa is an innovator in electronic and vocal music. We explore varied experimental topics such as bytebeat, singing techniques, narratives, and microtonal effects. One way to explore possibilities of the voice in music is to use resonance to make one’s voice sound either masculine or feminine, which soprano sfogato uses to great effect! Other techniques we explore include overtone singing, Tibetan throat singing, polyphonic singing, and androgynous singing.   Music Intro: Love and Distance - Erica dal Bassa Dragonspawn in Space - Erica dal Bassa The Dragon’s Cave - Erica dal Bassa Lollipops and Laser Bees - Erica dal Bassa Irrationally Irradiated - Erica dal Bassa Would You Love Me - Erica dal Bassa Death by Odysseus - Erica dal Bassa Please Hold - Erica dal Bassa Outro: Grave Clearing Ceremony - Erica dal Bassa   Links to songs: https://sopranosfogato.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/soprano-sfogato https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Fcg43RQXJu8LDrVSZmRAV   Support us on Patreon!

Composer Michael Harrison and I talk about his deep interests in Indian classical music (solfege, tuning, raga, and practice) as well as Just Intonation (septimal intervals). His latest piece, “Just Constellations,” is an a cappella piece sung/commissioned by the iconic Roomful of Teeth ensemble. Topics include improvisation, commatic intervals in chords, minimalist composers (La Monte Young, Terry Riley), and the benefits of learning from a variety of styles. The harmonic piano, which we also discuss, is an extremely exciting DIY technique for getting a standard piano to play up to 24 notes per octave!   Music Intro: Just Constellations (1: The Opening Constellation: Summer) - Michael Harrison The Four Dreams of China - LaMonte Young The Well-Tuned Piano - LaMonte Young Indian raga Suhakanara (performed by Sri Manilal Nag) Revelation (1: Revealing the Tones) - Michael Harrison Revelation (3: Revealing the Commas) - Michael Harrison Revelation (4: Tone Cloud I) - Michael Harrison  Revelation (12: Tone Cloud IV) - Michael Harrison Just Constellations (1: The Opening Constellation: Summer) - Michael Harrison Raga Yaman (instrumental) - Sharanu Siddhi Vinayaka Tarana (raga with piano) - Michael Harrison Just Constellations (3: The Magic Constellation: Winter) - Michael Harrison Just Constellations (4: The Acoustic Constellation: Spring) - Michael Harrison Partita for 8 Voices - Caroline Shaw Royal Wedding - Terry Riley Revelation (8: Vision in the Desert) - Michael Harrison From Ancient Worlds (using harmonic piano) - Michael Harrison Outro: Just Constellations (2: The Romantic Constellation: Autumn) - Michael Harrison   Michael Harrison’s music: https://michaelharrison.bandcamp.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwsdXje6PBl4tME4IZeg-cA https://open.spotify.com/artist/09b9oXw3X9LhhKA8GJsMDT?autoplay=true   Support us on Patreon!

Voice expert Amelia Huff and I talk about the harmonic series in an in-depth way! Memes, witchcraft, acoustics, production, human-voice aesthetics, and novendecimal scales are just some of the many topics we cover in this exciting conversation! In her music, Amelia uses the harmonic series in macro-harmonic systems whose notes’ frequency ratios share denominators, instead of scales built from tonality diamonds as is usually the case. Our harmonic series talk is particularly revelatory because of Amelia’s unique methodology, our dissection of unfair assumptions (inversional similarity, the limit as a measure of overall sound) and how we relate the harmonic series to a multiplicity of concepts such as speaker vibration. And seriously, you have to check out her music and Patreon, her work is positively gorgeous and beautiful.

We talk with multimedia composer Hunter Ewen about what it’s like to be alive in the 21st century. Microtonality has lots of potential to be used as a temporal flag, to highlight a sense of off-ness, and to expand the sonic world which we inhabit. We also answer questions such as: how does the presentation of music, and/or extra-musical factors, affect the way we perceive it? And just how many times can we mention John Cage in a single episode?   Music Intro: Venom, Consumption, and Saturation - Hunter Ewen Venom, Consumption, and Saturation - Hunter Ewen Atlas Eclipticalis - John Cage Ultradian Bipolar Disorder - Hunter Ewen Red River Folk Tale - Hunter Ewen Monkey Mind - Hunter Ewen TV Köln - John Cage LEDpaint (pluck) - Hunter Ewen LEDpaint (chime) - Hunter Ewen LEDpaint (bow) - Hunter Ewen LEDpaint (ride) - Hunter Ewen LEDpaint (bang) - Hunter Ewen LEDpaint (invert) - Hunter Ewen Outro: Hunger Dreams in Flocks - Hunter Ewen   Website: http://www.hunterewen.com/main.html http://www.ledpaint.info/   Feedspot’s Top 10 Music Theory Podcasts:https://blog.feedspot.com/music_theory_podcasts/   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
