089 - Alyssa Aska

Now and Xen

Composer Alyssa Aska stops by Now and Xen to talk about her microtonal compositions for fixed media and various combinations of electric and acoustic pianos and organs. She draws inspiration from video game music and early music, and often shifts the tuning system used over time for deliberate effects. We talk about software and setups. Exciting opportunity: Alyssa invites you to submit abstracts and/or pieces for the “Enharmonic interfaces and controllers for keyboard instruments.” Here is the link! https://zeitschleife-verlag.com/Verein/organon/symposium/calls/?fbclid=IwY2xjawLzeBRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFRaXlyTHNSNEhSQWQ3Rzc4AR4YBapTV6wEs3az4zbp-DSBNooKAMQNis1sOxZMs2DE9Dv8WDCU4cn_KOL5HA_aem_Igj-ROuHCAp47lhrrvlgvA
