Come join us for a pleasant studio chat with Bryan Deister, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and jazz pianist extraordinaire. Recently he has been exploring microtonal covers on the Lumatone, with massive success on TikTok. He has also written many albums featuring microtonal music in various tuning systems, generally equal divisions, the most recent fully microtonal one being "In Your Hands." Our conversation covers many topics relating to context switching, genre, surveys, paucitonality, and unusual instruments. Technical points include discussion of Lumatone layouts and pseudo-octave tropes, the too-perfect ring of JI soiling holy counterpoint, adolescent hatred of microtonality, translating between different tunings (transfer), and Scriabin.
