about

Tuning information is provided in the description of each track. I generally made use of a multitude of tunings and approaches to tuning in a polysystemic and pseudo-primodal fashion, with 12ED2 serving as the constant that is orbited by the others.

Specifically, I used equal division, just intonation, and also what I've been calling 'fingerpaint' tunings, which are either mostly or wholly irrational in their construction. Fingerpaint tunings are named, but only for the purpose of organization. The ratios provided for them are not exact.

I also make frequent use of harmonic series segments (HSS). As far as I know the HSS acronym is rarely used (ADO or ODO being more common), so it feels necessary to preemptively clarify its meaning.

Cosmic Surgery
by neat beats

Off the beaten path trip-hop that clearly demonstrates the emotive power of great instrumentation and production. It's more than just neat, though it is also neat. Max McCargar

Something Died in the Wall
by Occult Modem Settings

Rich and warm distortion makes this ambient noise/post-industrial album feel more inviting than one might initially expect. A lesson in immersion. Max McCargar

Icosahedron
by Zhea Erose

Maximalist in structure and content, but without feeling self indulgent. Skillfully balancing all the different compositional, production, and thematic elements into a cohesive whole. Max McCargar
