    1. @cousin_itNov 2019· in “Jacob Collier’s four magical chords”

      "In the bleak midwinter" is an amazing recording: this video But the people who say it doesn't strike a chord with them do have a point. Here's Myrone doing something similar, with 1/10th the complexity but 10x the feeling: [LINK]

    2. @spookthesunsetNov 2022· in “Resources for microtonal music”

      Another grand master of microtonality is Jacob Collier: [LINK] [LINK] Probably the best example, especially the middle: this video

    3. @rdlwFeb 2022· in “Music theory for nerds (2016)”

      Except for voice [0], any fretless stringed instrument [1], any fretted string instrument with separate frets for sharps and flats [2], keyboard instruments that allow expression [3], keyboard instruments with split flat/sharp keys [4], and electronic instruments that allow unorthodox tunings without huge hassle [5]... I'm sure I'm missing some, but other than that you're totally right ;) [0] [LINK] , this video [1] [LINK] [2] [LINK] [3] [LINK] [4] [LINK] [5] [LINK]
