Edolian - 2057 (17EDO)
Channel: NullPointerException Music
Date: 2020-10-18

This is the 17th song in my album, Edolian, where I sequentially make a song in every EDO from 1 to 31.






17EDO is a really good system, and it approximates most intervals good. Here I used the MOS 3L4s scale, which has a bit of a neutral aesthetic. In this piece I kind of returned to my traditional style, so it sounds a bit like Rungeon (one of my earlier pieces). I haven't done a piece in that style recently so it's kind of refreshing to do a piece like that. This piece is also in 9/8, subdivided into 3 groups of 3, which isn't the most interesting way to subdivide it, but I couldn't think of anything better.






Next piece is 18EDO. Oh man, 18EDO is a bit shit. It does not approximate most intervals very good, and as such it's good for more sinister music, but it does have a tendency to sound quite dissonant. It's going to be interesting finding an idea that sounds nice in it.
