Tristan Bay - 2021 Set for Basscraft Virtual Music Festival
Channel: Tristan Bay
Date: 2022-01-24

This was the set I made for the 2021 edition of Basscraft, a virtual music festival that takes place over Minecraft and Twitch in December.

I'm deciding to upload this here because all of the music in this set was made specifically for this event, which took well over a month to finish, and because I like how it turned out. The mixing isn't spectacular, but I did try to give it a less mainstream sound, which I think I succeeded in doing.

Neither of the 2 parts of this set use 12-tone equal temperament (which is also called "12-edo", and as far as I know, is what most modern electronic music uses nowadays). The first part is tuned to 7-tone equal temperament, and the second uses tuning similar to 12-edo, but all of the notes are simple rational multiples of the root note, such as 3/2 and 15/8, which is called "just intonation". I plan on sharing more music of mine like this in the future.

The audio-reactive visuals I did for this track were mostly made in Processing by breaking up the original music into separate frequency bands, and also making an audio track with just the difference between the left and right channel, and breaking that up into 2 separate bands as well, and then converting the audio data into raw headerless files, which then could be properly read by my Processing script. Different elements of the visuals react to different frequency bands and/or combinations of bands. These are also my first 3D visuals that I programmed in Processing and actually finished that way (I tried to do 3D visuals for another video in Processing, but ended up switching to using Blender for them).

If you want a download of this music, ask for it and maybe I'll set one up (or just rip the audio from YouTube or something, shhh...)

I hope you enjoy this!
