"The human voice is not constricted to any tuning system" is my new rebuttal when someone insults my singing ability

OP: Whats the note between C and C#.

I’ve been into Microtonality since I was ~16 years old (I’m 60 now), and I can say unequivocally that what you pointed out at time ~

For anyone who might want more microtonality from King Gizzard, their more recent albums "K.G." and "L.W." continue their exploration of microtonality, and are some phenomenal pieces of music

Microtonality: When two guitar players jam together at the beach but each of them tuned by "hearing"

I never would've thought that I'd live to see the day that "Rattlesnake" had an academic breakdown

Quarter notes usually sound weird in western music. In arabic/turkish music theory there are rules to using quarternotes, you have to use them within specific scales or "maqams" that respect certain intervals (for example in the key of C in the maqam of "rast" you skip all sharp/flat notes and you skip E and B, replacing them with E half flat and B half flat, if you don't do that the music sounds weird)

This entire video is why I like playing the violin - whenever there’s a sharp or a flat, I can slide my finger up or down and make it as flat or as sharp as I want to. It’s really interesting, and definitely adds some intrigue to whatever I’m playing since I can decide what I think will complement the note before or after it best.

hater: your singing is awful, you are out of tune!!

Love how clear and accessible you make this challenging topic - and thanks for the shout out!

I play the Sarangi. It's a bowed Indian lute with gut playing strings (baroque), played with the cuticle of the nail sliding down the string altering it's tension (fret-less). It allows for perfect microtonality, or what is known as a 'meend' in the Hindustani music system, and allows you to mimic the human voice almost exactly if you know how, including concepts like gamak.

Imagine "Flight of the Bumblebee" with microtones

I’m a simple man. I see king gizzard, I click.

I think this is why I love fretless bass so much. The microtonal nature of it just adds a tension to the rest of the orchestration that’s really satisfying to me.

Indian Classical Music is completely based on these microtunes. The singers are so mastered to sing them easily and there are instructions that can play them 👍👍

Of course, I had to think about Nokia Arabic Ringtone.

Pretty sure that nickleback “look at this graph” edit moves to a microtone

I'd barely heard of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard before, but this video convinced me to give their music a shot. And I'm really liking the band so far! Thanks for expanding my musical horizons and convincing me to give this Australian prog rock band with a doofy name a real shot.
