The time has come to say no to twelve tone equal. Ask Ivor Darreg. He knows.
This project is, among other things, an argument for the further exploration of microtonal/xenharmonic tunings by more musicians. If you find this argument compelling or completely repulsive, please let me know.
This project is also a response to the recognized need for more examples available on the internet, for the curious. The curious will never hope to get anywhere without trying out their ears.Band/artist history
I was born on April 8, 1985. I began composing around '90, discovered The Rite of Spring around '99, and discovered the modern microtonal movement around '03. I graduated from Rice in '07 and will attend School for Designing Society in the fall, connecting microtones with radical social change etc.Have you performed in front of an audience?This is a recording-based project: most of the pieces exist more as recordings than as performances. It is a creative sandbox of sorts, and the quantity varies. When I get some recordings I'm really proud of, I'll probably put them somewhere else. When I finally get around to becoming a competent performer, I'll probably start a different page.

I dig your stuff man! Keep it up!Great songs, nice polished sound. The musicianship is outstanding. You should rate me too. Check out my new track,"So what domestic".Would I rather punch out George W. or Osama? (the ads around here...)
Don't expect too much of yourself. Because you know it isn't going to happen.great job!All comments (10)

Mr. J. Bart- We meet again. I'm going to write some stuff for Udderbot and Guitar and I expect you to do the same. So next time we meet we can put some music together (if not we just assemble it online!) Also, I followed your lead and now I have a band page on hear: Castillo Trigueros... not very creative. Anyways, if you're still in Houston next monday give me a call.
