about

Fusing concepts and discoveries from my past microtonal works, this funky instrumental album is jam packed with jives. With my trusty 17 tone guitar, I've been charting the furthest reaches of the microtonal landscape and packaging my ideas up into boppy tunes to dance to.

As with my Microtonal Funk & Blues albums, this album utilises a custom-constructed microtonal electric guitar fretted to 17 equal divisions of the octave (17edo), which is 5 more notes per octave than standard tuning. This retunes every note to give the system access to richly complex and unfamiliar harmonies approximating higher harmonics.

I sincerely hope this album is as enjoyable to listen to as it was to record. Thank you all for your support!

I work with a mixture of unusual time signatures and esoteric tunings, and utilise instruments such as microtonal guitars. ... more

This is the sound that I hear in my head and search for.. I loved this whole album. Bright synthesizers, smooth synthesizers, chiptune synths, and Buddhist bells 🔔 Desert Island Rain started to feel like an old Jean Michel Jarre song at one point. I really can’t pick a favorite yet, there all so good! I look forward to listening to all the music Sevish creates. 100% recommended! Dionysus Virus
