abentwrygrin Earthy, spacey, at once harmonious and dissonant. I look forward to seeing modern music diverge into more of the infinite spectral possibilities of xenharmony. Favorite track: Glacial Reef (bonus track).

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Usually I don't listen to microtonal music, because many works sound overly constructed and unnecessarily dissonant to me. I understand the mathematical theory behind "just intonation", but it yields a vast amount of different scales, with most of them not being pleasant to my ears. This album by Brendan Byrnes, however, which I found in "ddb's" collection, sounds just great. I don't know which tuning systems he applies on each of these nine tracks, respectively, but obviously he uses the inevitable "wolf intervals" in a very attractive way. Yes, it's quite dissonant music, but the dissonance can be perceived as natural here. Favorite track: Vacant City.

there's no sound in the air and the silence for falls far too long empty smiles you know flash with vacant eyes that follow a slight descent into words at least as hollow every sign you know changes when you try to follow your sight descends down into the deepest hollow there's no sound in the air and the silence fall for far too long empty smiles you know flesh with vacant eyes that follow a slight descent into words at least as hollow every sign you know changes when you try to follow your sight descends down into the deepest hollow empty smiles you know flash with vacant eyes that follow a slight descent into words at least as hollow every sign you know changes when you try to follow
