JI Trombone recording
Posted: Sat Apr 03, 2021 5:26 pm
Hey y'all,
Since some JI topics pop up on here sometimes I wanted to share this project that just came out as I thought it might be of some interest.
It's a recording of Wolfgang von Schweinitz's Juz (a Yodel Cry) for trombone with rerecorded trombone. It's a large scale work that's exploring his idea of brass instruments as "tuneable alphorns", essentially just using the trombone one slide position at a time to play overtone melodies and do a series of JI vocal multiphonics, a few of which are played back to tune the next slide position. The cover is the pitch space lattice that you move through with the playback tracks guiding you back to the overtone series you started with.
Wolfgang and I worked together for a few years to remake the work and did a real deep dive on finding pretty much all the 7 limit tuneable intervals with vocal multiphonics within the inharmonicity of the trombone. It's a lot of more paired down than his later brass writing that goes really extensively into essentially brass scordatura and 41 limit stuff!
anyway- hope y'all enjoy!
