Obligatory intro post: I make and perform electronic music of the experimental/microtonal/drone variety. Retired software engineer, coding for fun now. Two CDs: "~60Hz" (Irritable Hedgehog) and "Involution" (XI). Lots of music at mysterybear.bandcamp.com. Main site: mysterybear.net.

Dave Seidel

Microtonal electronic and electroacoustic music. Long tones (mostly), slow paces (usually), and an emphasis on sonority.

It's another Bandcamp Friday, and I have a new release called "Intercosmic". There's also a new video by Greg Kowalski that goes with the first track, "Sundering Void". Link in comment.

The cover image (seen here) is also by Greg, taken from his video.

A Furious Calm

My version of a chaconne, an application of a bit of Henry Cowell's ideas for rhythm (as previously embodied in Leon Theremin's Rhythmicon). Written using a seven-note subset of a microtonal Meta-Slen

Demo of current setup, prepping for Wire Factory (Lowell, MA) show on June 7. The central devices are the Ciat-Lonbarde Clicker and the Ciat-Lonbarde Peterlin. There is some serious low-frequency content.

Can anyone guess what this mishegas (an unholy alliance of @catfullofghosts and @mengqimusic) does? Swipe for successive degrees of context. I'll put up a video clip later.
