Sevish - Desert Island Rain (313-tone equal temperament)

Melodic electronic music from Rhythm and Xen (2015) by Sevish: This track uses a 9 note subset of 313edo. It was suggested to me by Gene Ward Smith around 2014. Apparently 313edo is an optimal tuning for the madagascar temperament. Though for madagascar you would normally need many more than 9 notes - say 19 or more. But by taking the scale out to just 9 notes you can get barbados temperament. 313edo is a pretty good tuning for that, but not optimal. These two temperaments seem to be named after islands for some reason. The scale steps are: 53 12 53 12 53 12 53 12 53 Adjacent intervals are all whole tones (Large) or quarter tones (small) in this pattern: LsLsLsLsL. This is sometimes called 5L4s *But, at 313 notes, couldn’t you just pick any note?* This is microtonal music. You do whatever you want. Support: Listen: https://s
