Some folks say that microtonal music sounds 'spicy.' Well 12edo is spicy too - you just get de-sensitized to its taste after over-exposure. But there is a way to experience 12edo again, to get a fresh sense of its character! You take a microtonal track that you're really familiar with, re-tune it to 12edo and listen through.

I found that all tunings have a mood of their own, just like Ivor Darreg said. You choose a particular tuning to infuse its mood into your composition. I hope this video is a working demonstration of that effect.

Every now and then I'll do another tuning comparison video. So if you want to hear something special feel free to suggest it in the comments. I can't promise to try every suggestion but I will definitely look out for the most fun and interesting ideas. (Btw I can't easily get to my old sessions but anything from the Horixens album is a piece of cake to retune right now)

Thanks all for listening - it's always a pleasure to share this stuff with you.
