A fascinating collaboration between Ben Spees, of The Mercury Tree, and Damon Waitkus, of Jack O' the Clock. We take a look at the acoustic instruments used to create it (including non-Western ones), swap files, and talk about the challenges and inspirations behind the project. We also affirm quarter tones as part of the xenharmonic canon, nerd out about the regularity of scales, and hint at the secret "Migraine" project. Check out Ventifacts on Bandcamp, it is WELL worth the listen! For this episode, there's a cover of The Ballad of Hearst and Herriman (10-edo)! It's premiering the day of episode release (the 12th, since we love 12 so much here at Now&Xen). Music Intro - Rest [Ventifacts] (24edo) Anxiety - Damon Waitkus Dog Day Music [Ventifacts] (24edo) Pacific [Ventifacts] (24edo) Azimuth of Sunrise [Ventifacts] (24edo) Pacific [Ventifacts] (24edo) Weeping Wall - David Bowie Bonneville [Ventifacts] (24edo) Dog Days [Ventifacts] (24edo) Mravalzhamier (Benia, Georgian polyphonic tuning) - performed by trio kavkasia Azimuth of Sunrise [Ventifacts] (24edo) Hidden Well [Ventifacts] (20edo) Outro -The Ballad of Hearst & Herriman [Ventifacts] (10edo)
