Yesterday was Erik Satie’s birthday, so to commemorate his memory I’ve released one of my microtonal gymnopédies. As you might know no one exactly knows what Satie really meant when he used the word to describe his music, but what we do know is that there’s an undeniable link with Ancient Greece. This is why I decided to use an Ancient Greek scale for this one. Hope you all enjoy

Hey! I'm an amateur, hobbyist composer from Canada who mostly experiments with microtonal classical music, specifically music for retuned keyboard. I did lots of music when I was young but took a hiatus due to joining the army and doing mostly that for the last few years. But now I'm getting into it again and hope to meet other musicians and music lovers to make, find, and share dope music with. My latest release (it's actually like a year old, I told you I'm a hobbyist lol) is below, and if you're interested in the theory behind it I wrote about it here. Nice to meet all of you!

Guess if this thread's back from the dead I'll take the opportunity to ask for feedback on this piece of music. (I wrote about the theory and concept in this thread for anyone interested.)

Hey everyone! Long-time lurker and amateur composer here, posting this piece of music here for your listening pleasure. As you can probably guess from the title, this piece is microtonal. Satie wrote 3 Gymnopedies and afaik few others have used the form he created. I figured that, due to it's simple and atmospheric melody and accompaniment, it would be an interesting way to explore different microtonal systems. So I analyzed the form and generalized the style and applied it to a number of microtonal systems. I really liked this one in particular so I touched it up and put it on Spotify. The system being used is Mode 12 of the Harmonic Series, which is to say its the 12 overtones in the harmonic series starting on harmonic 12 and ending on harmonic 24. This scale can easily map to a regular keyboard so that's an advantage it has. I also think it sound nice; hopefully you do too.
