Thank you. This one goes on the playlist with Lyra Pramuk. I want to include my voice in music and these (alongside everyday names like Brian Wilson and Enya and The Flying Pickets) provide vital clues as to good technique.
Neva did naffin me!

This snapshot of his studio page was taken around the time of that video. Lots of gear. And no blue LEDs.
(also see the liner notes for his bandcamp releases)
Ha, our studios only share a Korg Wavestation Ex and a Behringer mixer.

Vosto on Nightride FM told me that you could see the lead singer of Bioreaktor dancing enthusiastically in the performance video for Na Zare. I like seeing a culture so different and yet similar to mine. And the music is both new and authentically old.
(And yeah, if someone here can explain quarter-comma meantone to me in fewer words than that wiki article is using, I’m all ears )
Temperaments are all about making compromises on your note divisions (intervals).
Meantone temperament
This means you compromise on the 5ths to improve the 3rds.
Quarter-comma meantone
This is basically the same, only it flattens the 5ths a bit. This makes the major 3rds justly intoned.
Just intonation
Just when an interval is using whole number ratios like 3:2 or 4:3.
And Xenharmonic wiki (linked from that Wikipedia article) describes it as “the predominant tuning of Western common-practice music in the latter part of the Renaissance and the early modern (17th century) era.” Before even temperament became the accepted standard for concert performance, I suppose.
Edit: in all of that I forgot to say how much I enjoyed that piece. I’ve subscribed to her YouTube channel and it looks as if she’s making great sounds in slightly unusual ways.
umm… I’ve been listening to Eisenfunk all afternoon. It’s simple german electro (is it?) that’s been keeping me going today while WFH
My fave album of theirs is their first - Eisenfunk - it has samples from 1950’s American nuclear war warnings (Duck and Cover) which kinda remind me of Fallout 3 (the game)
Cool stuff
