about

Autumntide is an instrumental album for solo piano. These tracks are more classical in their composition with a tonal structure and diatonic scale. However, the tuning has shifted slightly to align with the Just Minor Third for my experimental apochromatic scale, as opposed to the alignment of the Just Perfect Fifth in the standard chromatic scale. This formula uses the microtonal pitches within the 19-tone EDO tuning system with the tuning pitch base of C33, or C264 at Middle C. This is done through my Max for Live instrument that I built to retune piano samples within different tuning systems. In addition, the tempo of each track is calibrated to a pitch within the key of each track. The track number determines the beats in its time signature of each track.

This album has gone through multiple iterations in the past few years. In 2019, it was released as a demo for my prototype Piano synth created in Pure Data. In 2021, it was released as two EPs with updated sound clips for my Micron Piano device created in Max/MSP and ported to Max For Live. Now in 2023, it is released as a full album with better sound clips and created directly as a Max For Live device.

Autumntide is a concept album about a journey across Scandinavia, represented by the language of each track’s subtitle. The performer as the subject deals with the trials and tribulations of enlightenment. The composition as the object is symbolized by the natural phenomena in each region and correlates to each step along the way, represented by the track titles. The story is a metaphor for one’s own journey; how, through one life, a voyage may darken but, in the end, may enlighten.
