UnTwelve 2018 composition winner Brian Riordan talks about his fascinating use of piano transducers and just intonation in “Recorded Ruins.” Indonesian slendro tunings, human interactions with technology, DIY instrument tricks, and the purpose of notation and microtonality permeate this conversation. Why is real-time processing an essential performance tool for the modern age? How many millions of people saw Mr. Riordan perform in Indonesia? Which two JI notation systems are preferred by modern performers? Find out in this episode!

In this episode, Stephen discusses ear training and sliding-pitch techniques with two members of UnTwelve, Jacob and Chris. (Be sure to spread the word about UnTwelve 2019 camp, happening from August 4-13 at the Gesundheit Institute in West Virginia)! The three composers discuss performance techniques and music theory of compositions they have written and/or covered, so musical examples are abundant! Other important topics include paucitonality, rendering of equal tunings in just intonation, tuning “surveys,” electronic manipulation, and voice leading of isolated xenharmonic passages in 17-edo, 20-edo, and JI notated with Sagittal. (And 12-edo)! Making microtones easier is fun!
