www.ubertar.com/bio----------------------------------------- --------------------------Finally broke down and put up a few songs. There's more here: http://www.ubertar.com/sounds------------------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------Halloween Song is sort of a creepy microtonal metal thing, in 9 tone equal temperament. ____________________________________________________________ _____ Gonna Getcha is just a basic, fun, rock thing.---------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------Must Go On is a little more complex, with odd meters and an unusual scale.----- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------A Call for Rain/Crow Leads the Way to the Underworld are two songs that blend into each other. A Call for Rain is made up of several layers of circuit-bent electronics, with the addition of a drum, a shaker and vocals. Crow Leads the Way... is composed of processed vocal sounds, plus a bell and the "crow sax"-- a crow call with an additional shaft with holes for a variety of notes.-------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------The untitled microtonal piece goes back and forth between two microtonal scales-- 15 tone equal temperament (tet) and 10 tet. The main melody is in 5 tet, so it fits into both the others (lowest common denominator). ----------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------I invent and build most of the instruments I play, play all the instruments on these songs (including the vocals), and record the music at the Ubertarium www.ubertar.com/ubertarium.--------------------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------Most of the instruments I make are electric stringed instruments; some are played with a bow and/or plucked, and some are played automatically through various motorized mechanisms. Others are electric, tuned percussion. www.ubertar.com/instruments--------------------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------I teach high school kids how to make electric guitars, amplifiers and oscillators, then we record the music they make with them. www.ubertar.com/kids4 www.ubertar.com/kids3
