It's not inexact or random, but it's also not a science or even literally a set of rules. It's a combination of (1) a set of analysis tools--so that you have a convenient way to conceptualize and talk about the possibilities of musical materials, and (2) a study of common practices relative to historical and particular cultural milieus. |

Very cool. The video should be watched to fully grasp how it works. |

I have been able to experiment with two keyboards a bit, with one of the two having the pitch wheel at a fixed point somewhere between two semi-tones using adhesive tape. I like how a sudden change in pitch (microtonally) can have a big effect, sometimes very "relaxing". Here's a short demo with a Prokofiev piece (and a short improv intro): https://soundcloud.com/pascal-dool/prokofiev-microtonal/s-Z8lH4
(Please excuse me, the keyboards don't play very well so I made a few errors and some notes are left out) And an edited version of a part of The Sun Ate (from my latest album): https://soundcloud.com/pascal-dool/the-sun-ate-mcrtnl/s-71zh9
