Some Shallow Thoughts on “Form Logic“ (Sononym) 19-TET transcription!

Saw this excellent guitar improv by @Sononymous and wanted to transcribe it - original video here! It’s in 19-TET, so we can use diatonic notation with no microtonal accidentals. There are intriguing chords in here, some standard diatonic ones, some chromatic bass lines saturated with more notes since, and some with chromatic clusters or widened split relations. In the thumbnail is a iconic chord - a subminor supermajor chord with a flat-9 that appears with G sharp on bottom as well as F sharp (and then at the end this low note is a B). The meter is slippery and you could argue with me in the comments about something more rigorous if you wanted, haha! The guitar is a seven string, in 19-TET standard tuning, tuned in fourths like so: 1st string: E 2nd string: B 3rd string: G 4th string: D 5th string: A 6th string: E 7th string: B 19-TET can be notated using a chain of fifths, requiring no uniquely microtonal accidentals or ups and downs. It’s one of the easiest microtonal systems to notate for that reason. The 19-TET chromatic scale is: 0 - C 1 - C♯/Dbb 2 - Cx/Db 3 - D 4 - D♯/Ebb 5 - Dx/Eb 6 - E 7 - E♯/Fb 8 - F 9 - F♯/Gbb 10 - Fx/Gb 11 - G 12 - G♯/Abb 13 - Gx/Ab 14 - A 15 - A♯/Bbb 16 - Ax/Bb 17 - B 18 - B♯/Cb 0/19 - C Special thanks to my patrons, the xenharmonic patrons, as well as the xenharmonic gods: Jun-Dai Bates-Kobashigawa Naren Ratan Mike Battaglia Adam Freese Matthew Sheeran Vincenzo Sicurella Hector McGuffin CHRISTOPHER BAILEY LELAND O WEIGEL amy coleman Jill Weigel Tina Harmon Carteaux My stuff: Patreon: Website: SoundCloud: Bandcamp: Instagram: TikTok: @stephenweigelmicrotonal?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc #microtonal #transcription #guitar #improvisation #xenharmonic #philosophy
