Korg Monologue microtonal ambient performance This is a melodic deep exploration of the 2)5 dekany with factors 1-3-5-7-9. The dekany contains five different 6-note subsets called hexanies. In this piece of music, each section uses a different hexany. You might hear that each hexany has its own clear and distinct colour. A 1:3:5:7:9 drone plays throughout to accompany the melodies. The fascinating thing is, the resulting dekany doesn't contain 1/1, therefore the melodies never use 1/1 from the drone and therefore don't quite "come home"; they always float on top in a harmonious way. The Korg Monologue is a monophonic analogue synthesiser which allows for custom "microtonal" tunings. I set up one tuning for each of the five hexanies, and then assigned those tunings to a series of saved patches. To perform the piece and its modulating through hexanies, I simply needed to perform my way through this series of pre-prepared patches. Each scale is linearly mapped to the keyboard.
