Sevish - Lavender Fields (Carlos Alpha)

Details

Description

The opening track from Sean But Not Heard (it's pronounced seen but not heard). First 11 seconds are straight up 12edo but the rest is in 9 equal divisions of the fifth aka Wendy Carlos' Alpha scale. The tuning lacks octaves so it makes you think hard when writing and it also sounds very spicy (lavendery, perhaps).

For what it's worth, lavender is my favourite flower and one of my favourite smells too.

The award for worst camera work goes to me. A few years ago I went to some nearby lavender fields and was just messing around with my wife's DSLR. I decided to use some of that wonky footage in this new video.
