Zhea Erose - Candescent Angel (48-tone Pure Harmonics)

Turn it up and enjoy the resonance. The intricate interactions in the sustain is what moves me so. This is a short composition in pure harmonics. I’ve been developing this tuning since 2021. It’s a beautiful, rich sound and I hope to share more from this system. The acoustic piano at my indiana studio was last tuned in this. Additionally, I re-tuned a piano at the Microtonal Adventure Festival in Bellingham Washington into this system in 2022. tuning info for the geeks: Candescent [48], is a 4-octave, 48 tone just intonation developed for piano specifically. In some ways, it’s like a 12-neji which is irregular across 4 octaves. It affords a rich variety of timbres and qualities but requires keeping track of where you are.
