Abraham Gonzalez Bejarano - Exploraciones VI

Notes:

Exploraciones VI (2016) - For guitar quartet In Exploraciones VI I use the 36-tone, 18-tone and 12-tone divisions of the octave scale (18 and 12-tone scales are contained in the 36-tone scale, but are treated independently). I explore these scales (especially the 36-tone scale), as well as the continuum that exists between them. That is, how they change from one to another. The microtonal chords are achieved by tuning the instruments so that they have a 1/6 tone difference between. The six players work together to achieve a full sound. The use of microtonality in Exploraciones VI is a means to translate the imaginary into a musical experience. Performed by Ensamble Moebius https://www.facebook.com/ensamble.moebius/
