SEVENTEEN TONE PIANO PROJECT PHASE FOUR
Presenting Microtonal Songs
The Seventeen-Tone Piano Project began with tuning two acoustic pianos in
seventeen equal tones per octave and then playing music on them. The project
was created with the intention of encouraging (and at the very least not
discouraging) the writing of music in the 17-tet system. There are no restrictions
on eligibility; all sentient creatures are invited. We will try to have as many
concerts as interest in the project can sustain.
Current phase: PHASE FOUR!
Phase Four, the current phase, consists of a call for MICROTONAL SONGS, vocal music
in all kinds of non-12 tunings, and two events: a sing-along session on April 30 and
a concert on May 1, 2008.
