~ Love Particle ~

A microtonal piece of music in 31-EDO or 31-ED2 (equal division of the octave). Also known as 31-TET or 31-ET (equal temperament).

Thank you for tuning in!

This project is an attempt to fuse the worlds of melodic and harmonic systems.

Our normal 12-tone equal temperament system allows for complex harmony and modulation. In other corners of the world you have melodic systems that showcase more of the beauty of the harmonic series. When I started making microtonal music I became more aware of the gap between these two worlds. I just love the elegance of transcendental melody that is not always there in 12-tone, but I adore the complex harmony and modulation 12-tone allows.

As I'm digging deeper into microtonality I'm starting to become more and more convinced that 31-EDO is some sort of bridge or at least has the potential to open up doors in exciting new ways. It estimates all sorts of just intonation (JI) intervals really well. Beautiful ratios if you hold 'm against the fundamental, but all these intervals still form solid fifths (and other key harmonics) with other scale degrees (which may also be new, beautiful ratios to the fundamental).

Not only is 31-EDO a completely new world, it can execute a lot of 12-tone music pretty clear because of good JI estimation, giving it a transcendental touch. It being an equal temperament gives it the complete advantage of complex modulation without losing harmony. It's a thing of beauty!

What are your thoughts on 31-tone, microtonal music & the future of music?
