- Launchin and morphin in 53 tone equal temperament.
Most of the 53 notes were used here, I think. No particular subset was used so all 53 were available on the piano roll. I tried to use plenty of descending 1\53 steps in the voice leading. Since there are only 128 MIDI notes it was tricky for any one instrument to range much beyond 2 octaves. I simply tuned the bass 2 octaves down and the lead 1 octave up, then kept each instrument within its range.
So, I'm really curious and I'm going to ask. Are there any favorite tracks from Morphable? What do you think is the theme of the album? I have no idea what the reception will be, so now's my time to ask. I just make music that I would enjoy listening to and think it's fun that other people sometimes get into it.

1:35 had me tripping out, this is our good'ol Sevish right here. Cheers!
that's always the part where I start dancing
The first 3m are ok but 3:12 on is just the dankness. Not just merely microtonal but artistic. For example the slowing of the rhythm of the arpeggio the way it coincides with the quarter tone up motion (?) sounds like some sort of straining release very satisfying.
We need more Sevishes in the world
I'm trying!
@@Kai_On_Paws_4298 looking forward to hearing your first hundred half finished tracks, I'll bet at least one of them will be a half finished banger
yerp, i'm trying also!
We got close with Hevish5 - though domino falling and music are hard to compare.
just intonation tuning is simple
I am entranced and officially have been launched into space
unbelievable
this is my favorite from the album
3:12 is my favourite part
How the hell you do these music videos? They go so well with the music everytime.
Seriously. I have always found his visuals to he extremely high quality, and yet so varied.
I think he uses Mandelbulber to do this type of visuals
Grave ta fan jem trop t’es commentères Tachybunker
@@tristanbay thx a lot
@@TachyBunker Blender would end up working better now that they have tools for this exact thing.
lunch launch. background is sick by the way.
the harmony is functioning nicely!!!! Thats when its really exciting, when you are able to move the ear somewhere functionally but in a more subtle Wow way! The track is excellent my friend, so happy you do what you do!!!!!! In the future ... you are one of the pioneers!! l'chaim!
Sevish saves lives
So relieved and happy listening to this! Well at least that's the vibe right now, I'm sure when I'm listening in a different mood it's sound way more like an adventure journey across large biomes in a short time
Woah, hold on, last third of the song sounds like I'm getting a drifting session ride from an intergalactic badass guy while he also teaches me the works on the non verbal aspect of getting chicks or some cool new space farming technique
Hey, I know you read my comment elsewhere wanting to hear more about your visualizers, but if you need something smaller and more specific, I am in love with this one in particular and would really appreciate some breakdown of it, whatever you have the bandwidth for, in text or video form, whatever!
I've listened to it a few times (including the premiere) and I think Morphable is my favorite from you, surpassing Harmony Hacker. Thank you for the flow of inspiration and stimulating, playful ideas! Not only do I really like your work in itself, but I really like the way you handle yourself as an artist on the internet.
Really love the use of different instruments across different points in the track, yet still sticking to the theme. Feels refreshing and gives that sense of movement that isn't present in a ton of microtonal tracks. I think I've noticed some half-sharp 1s used around the middle, which is supposed to be dissonant, but I've never noticed it during my first listening.
This doesn't feel experimental. Feels like actual music done for the general mainstream. And that's interesting considering that this uses almost all the 53 notes.
your feelings are irrational

This song fucks so hard
You just gotta love an extremely extended pythagorean structure.
That's what you get when your equal temperament has a fifth that's about 1/15th of a cent away from perfect
no
nice
I have to say, video and music are a masterpeace together
LITERALLY, I can't stop listening to this XDDDD!!!
This shit is awesome, probably the catchiest one by far
my dude you are an amazing songwriter jeez
This is a masterclass !
Snazzy
This slaps dude
thank you
All I have left to say is YES.
this is so damn cool, i love your works !!!
great as always 👍
this is absolutely amazing, another great track
That's such a warm tune. Love it!
hella fabulous
I love this song !!! GJ 👏
Love all your musics 🔥🥵🙏
love the rhythms on this. cool drop too
I think this is my fav from this album, though I've been quite busy lately and didn't have much time to digest your new stuff properly.
I hope I'll have more time in October.
Absolute banger. The way you fool me with harmony is magic. The polyrhythm stuff in the second half is incredible.
super fun
This is how 360 fov looks like. Nice track.
I find it hard to pick a single favourite track, but at the moment I'm inclined towards Rain Pitted 99.
Even harder would be to say which track I like the least. I don't think I could name one!
Nice
There are some terraria music elements scattered throughout this and I love it!
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Also, what music signature do you usually use? It all has that 'sevish' style but I wonder if you would ever play around with 6/8 or other wacky time signatures.
53 jamz
Starfish 2.0?
(TW: Opinionated middle aged guy alert, haha) Back in the late 1980s I interned with a startup company who produced 3D imagery for advertising and TV. I wrote some code to render a Menger Sponge to level 4... and it took ALL NIGHT to run. Yes, all night to render a single image. And now there's this amazing software that can send multitudes of them, distorted, flowing through space before our very eyes. I will never, ever take modern tech for granted, believe me.
Love the music too, buying the album very soon (waiting for pay day!)
Thanks, very appreciated! Glad you are enjoying the sounds
It's this kind of music that should have been featured in Blade Runner 2049.
Dayum, working with 53edo looks a bit complicated, but the flavours are very... serotonin triggering...
FINALLY FULL-BLOWN 53-TET
Is this a Benedetti musical-puzzle situation? Or are basically just taking a regular progression and shifting it down a 53-TET comma every four bars?
oh and, it’d be AWESOME if you released all those visualizations on apple music as clips, they’re so cool and i’d love to watch them offline without having to pay for youtube premium...
I find it so interesting that a lot of these chords sound very close to chords in 12TET but the progessons are nothing ever done in 12TET, eg 1:05 sounds like a G7 chord.
Good observation, this is something I like to do a lot!
@ it's fun to approximate these chords in 12TET - I have zero knowledge of chord/note namings in alternative tunings - then marvel at how crazy those chord changes are. Nobody would try them, yet they work so well.
i dont know why the youtube algorithm chose to show me this song, but im not mad at all
The rhythm during the "breakdown" of this one got me thinking. Have you ever expiremented with irrational time signatures? Given 12tet is a convention that you have surpassed wouldn't time signature be a next step?
Experimented, yes. Used irrational rhythms in a finished tune, don't think so (yet). I'm not convinced the parallels between tuning and rhythm run that deep. I just like a good groove. Most of the music I listen to is in 4/4 and 12edo and I love it. But I do have some weird golden ratio grooves exported from Xronomorph and might use them some time in the future. You can't nod your head to it, but it might serve as a confusing set piece between other more accessible sections.
@@Sevish imo the fibonacci sequence stuff looks like kind of a fad. The golden ratio is a really sharp minor sixth after all, not very "natural" sounding. But I feel like dropping a random measure of 4/12, 6/20 etc. if done properly could contribute to that "lost" feel a lot of your work has.
Keep up the amazing work though!
@@bjornblomgren2977 I must have misunderstood you, because you specifically said irrational so I assumed golden ratio, pi, e, etc were the suggestion. Do they call 4/12 or 6/20 "irrational" in music theory parlance? 6/4 is my jam today. Much fun.
@@Sevish It uses the word wrong, but yes, irrational time signatures just mean time signatures (x/y) where y is "non-dyadic" (not 2/4/8/16/32/64/128 etc.
6/4 is a rational time signature because 4 is dyadic. Even e/4 is rational because its over 4.
The denominator in time signatures is for the most part useless, because its only use is to set the "speed" of each note in the numerator. (12/8 means 12 eighth notes). Because artists usually (read: always) set a bpm when they want to play at a given speed, the denominator is just a convention for the most part and tries to depict the feel of the piece when using non-dyadic numerators.
Saying 8/16 or 8/8 rarely makes any sense. When we have 2/4 or 4/4. However, 9/4, 9/8 and 9/16 all have their uses depending on how fast the piece feels.
9/4 can be expressed as a 4 on the floor dance groove with just one extra beat at the end.
9/8 is usually expressed by 2+2+2+3 or 3+3+3 "fast" notes.
9/16 is the same as 9/8 but almost always too fast to be in a groove setting.
Its rare that we would express a solo that counts to 9 really fast as "500 bpm 9/4" or a 9/4 groove as "30 bpm 9/16". You can, but it doesn't make a lot of sense.
Irrational time signatures are always useless on their own, you can call a 4/4 piece "4/5 with a bpm change", but there is no reason to. We only hear the repition of the number on top, we count to 4 before going back to 1, irrational time signatures just change the length of a beat.
Its pretty much just a temporary metric modulation.
I honestly feel this sounds a bit Turkish because you are using all of 53edo.
The visual would be perfect a 360 video.
Field of view here is 330 degrees just to crop out the most distorted geometry around the edges. If I can figure out how to upload 360 to CZcams I should try it some time!
I know there are plenty of microtonal songs out there, but I feel like you are the only artist that jumps between temperament so often. how confusing is it to change it up so often?
Not as confusing as you might think. Some strategies work across many different temperaments, so once you've explored a few you can find familiar shapes and patterns, even in an overall unfamiliar structure. I'm sure there are still a bunch out there that would confuse me tho!
@@Sevish have you tried 8-edo? that one must be confusing
@@Sevish I recommend trying out Dekany 1 3 5 7 9. It functions a bit differently than the equal temperament tunings do and can produce very good sounding results.
8edo does give me some trouble yeah. I might have to do a full track in it some day.
Think I have used the 1.3.5.7.9 dekany already, but if I haven't then I'm actually working on a long form improvised piece that cycles through all 5 hexanes contained in that particular dekany. Bit of a coincidence really.
分形艺术，❤
Did you use a subset of 53ed2?
No particular subset, I just used whatever notes from 53 that worked for the music, and had all of them available
@@Sevish Well, It's a tedious process to compose music with scales in higher equal temperaments like 41, 53, 60, 72, 120, 144, And e.t.c since MIDI Has Note 127 as it's highest note. In EDOs Higher then 127, Then it will be very challenging that subsets are need for this.
I know this isn't quite related to the video, but is there anywhere i can reach you? I wanted to show a remix I made of one of your songs.
The contact form on sevish.com/contact is always an option but fair warning that some things are happening right now and I will be busy a few weeks
@@Sevish oh, okay
What is the synth ringing at 0:50?
I think I should get more familiar with synthesizers
probably a pad
That is just the effect of using super consonant tunings.
The hell do you compose in 53 tone? An octive per piano?
There are 128 MIDI notes so that's just over 2 octaves of range on one MIDI channel. I have the bass tuned down a couple octaves lower, the lead tuned up an octave higher, and every instrument stays within its own range. That's limiting, but it was easy for me to get my head around!
@Sevish oh dang. I usually play huge open chords, so it sound like a nightmare trying to play the same in anything above 19tet. I also have to ask, how do you go abouts keys in 22 and 53tet? Aren't there like more options then minor andvmajor in the minor/major dichotomy? Do you have names from the modes in these tuneings?
Hey Sevish, I don't know if you read these comments, but would you be alright with me using your music in my CZcams videos (with credit of course)?
Sure go for it
@@Sevish Thanks a lot!
