Skueue - LyC [Ep 2022]

YANDEX (320 Kbps)

Microtonal Generative Music

This music is a snapshot of my time living in a (converted) backyard shed while homeless for about 6-8 Months

My living situation was too stressful to do much music writing, this is what little music I made

The cover art is "Ferny" a Monsterra Deliciosa (.. not a fern) It was a present from my partner during the earlier Covid lockdown months, and I suspect, a covert attempt to force me to get more sunlight while my depression and anxiety were in full swing

Special Thanks to Tash and Linda, who most likely saved my life

I had spent two years re-writing my microtonal generative music software and these tracks were made while it was in a prototype state, only now have I finally finished it, and found a place to live

Thanks to all you weirdos that listen to my quirky music

Last 2 tracks are from a Live Ep I released a while back, I've included them for anyone that missed it

Osmium and Transversal

These tracks were improvised live at Geddes Lounge Lounge in 2019, so I don't have any of their scale data, but .. Osmium sounds "Ratio-ish?" and Transversal sounds "EDO-ish?

This Album was originally made for and published by Gastric Acid Records

They release killer acid techno music, including lots of homemade stuff that falls in between the cracks of the usual genre definitions, check them out

Skueue - Anagnorisis [2018]

YANDEX (320 Kbps)

"Anagnorisis" is an album of melodic xenharmonic dance music

It's written to convey emotions, give you energy, and to help you dissociate from mundane existence

The music is the lovechild of a long term relationship with music software programming

My human brain can only hold a limited amount of information

I could spend a lifetime learning music theory, and still only master one aspect, so after 10 years of trying just that, I decided that I needed help

Since then, I have taught my computer everything I can about music

This includes: how to identify and generate rhythms, how to use functional harmony concepts to write new music, and how to apply these concepts to microtonal pitch structures, I spent the last 6 years working on this

The result, is that I can spend 5 minutes telling the algorithms what sort of music I want to make today, 5 minutes tweaking the sounds and patterns to something I like, and the 10-20 minutes performing the music, This is a ritual I try to adhere to every day

I feel like the music is never truly mine and never exactly what I intended, but always better than something I could have written on my own

All of the tracks on this album were written and performed within 20-30 minutes using my custom built PureData patch, These 8 tracks were chosen from a pool of approximately 80 tracks

I don't know if it makes more sense to say that it took me 200 minutes (25 minutes x 8 tracks) 2000 minutes (25 minutes x 80 tracks) or 6 years (Programming and creating generative data) to make this album, but if just one person gets something out of it, it's time well spent

This Release was made especially for Split-Notes.com, whose music has changed my life for the better

Wonderful album artwork by Tina Douglas

Skueue - Andesite [Ep 2014]

YANDEX (320 Kbps)

These are some of the oldest generative microtonal music pieces I still have records of

These were made as a proof of concept that I could use puredata to write entire tracks, and they laid the groundwork for the microtonal music generator/maker that I'm still working on to this day
