Xenophonie 4
The idea of Xenophonie is inspired by Bill Sethares and his book "Tuning, Spectrum, scale".
The sound itself if made via additive synthesis.
The sound is "inharmonic" but the partials fit to the choosen scale that divides the proportion 13/8 into six parts of qual "length".
Although all intervals and chords are far away from the conventional tempered system, they sound somehow "consonant."
My aim was to create an instrument, that could be used during a live performance.
This instrument should be at least as interesting, variable and lively as a Steinway-piano.
