Bending The Fabric Of Scales with Levi McClain (31-Note Microtonalist)
This one goes to eleven… NO this one goes to 31! Levi’s all-in on expanding our musical palette. We talked about what colors and emotions are available in microtonality, how to get into the wild world, and the frontiers of music theory. Sometimes it feels like everything in music has been “figured out.” Levi’s here to tell us that couldn’t be further from the truth!For 30% off your first year of DistroKid to share your music with the world click DistroKid.com/vip/lovemusicmoreSubscribe to this pod's blog on Substack to receive deeper dives on the regular 🏊♂️Tune into my music and surf the different-yet-connected platforms at ScoobertDoobert.pizza 🍕Pick up my new LP "I" on vinyl in its full spinning colorfulness while they last 🎨Connect with Levi on his:✏️ IG ✏️ YouTube ✏️ Tik Tok ✏️ WebsiteWhere it mostly all started. The peaks and the valleys. The life force. Opening doors. Heliocentricity. Coalesce. Comfortable enough. Embed the effect. A lot of beauty in doing that. Stereo picture placement. Reinforcing this idea. Actual practice. Treat the shimmer tone. Some very interesting intonation. A dash of cayenne. A weird sensation. A good blend. Different aspects. Through acoustic synthesis. Like a sonic photograph. Tactile experience. A really interesting mirror. Symmetry. Duplicating the signal. Genuinely connected. Dove into the bread and butter. That weird bag. Formant shifting. Wonderful and different. Everything kind of influences everything. At the continuum. The tributaries of creativity. Over the mountain. Through pitch. Justly intonated. The harmony of the spheres. Dig deep. The reason. In between the spaces. New tools. To innovate further. Load in microtonal tunings. Time and place. In the vast landscape. Fully enmeshed things. A lot closer together. Microtonailty. Something that’s real. Kind of like a diatonic approach. Such a good analog. Downstream. From the music theory lens. A bundle of instruments. More notes. Pitch shifted. New flavors. Get over that hump. In terms of frequencies. The math is elegant. A wonderful thing. About the harmonic series. The embodied self. Harmonic ratios. Shimmer chords. This really cool iconic sound. Perfectly reasonable. To the timbre of a given instrument. A cool project. Really beautiful. Pleasing sounds. Fluid. Play a series of notes. Play effectively. The wolf interval. Ear math. Utility. Map it to musical parameters. 🌌Edited by Rebecca SansomSet Design by Max HorwichPodcast Produced by Beformer

Keeping the Inner Musician Alive
Tap your foot? Whistle? Hum a tune?I think you count too. Musician isn't a some high-and-mighty state. It's just being human.I think by segmenting so much we all miss out. Musicians do best when we get community input (just look at New Orleans!) -- not just academic or commercialized competition.It's not bad to hustle. But it's nice to have a mix of voices. Some going all-in. Some expressing the depths of the soul with no expectation of reward.But even bigger than that, the coolest thing is watching people decide to play at whatever level. Even cooler: Watching them decide to write. I hope you do. It's never too late. And if you're a pro, it's good for the soul to make some random stuff that's not for a royalty.Let's wax musical, people!For 30% off your first year with DistroKid to share your music with the world click DistroKid.com/vip/lovemusicmoreWant to hear my music?

The tone poem. Evocative and interesting. Fundamental. Timbre. Dynamics. Orders sound. Through the wind. Think and feel. A collection of artifacts. Distilling that. Infinite. Continuous. The acrobatics. Structuring sound. Enjoy something. Taste. That good. Mess with that. Just saying. Open to the idea. A vector to keep that going. The larger kinda meta-conversation of genre. What a musician actually is. Add elements throughout time. In time. The key element. Refinement. An exploration of sound. An extension of frequency. ⏰Podcast Produced by Beformer
