The Stern Brocot band gave their first public performance of a new Tajikistan-inspired microtonal piece. Thanks to Phil Downs for filming the performance. This piece, composed by Andy Milne, was performed in the atrium of the Jenny Lee Building at the Open University on 12th June. This performance featured visiting researcher Maxime Canelli on ‘Line 6’ digital guitar. This piece features timbres shaped to the microtonal scale, using digital instrument design by Andy Milne and Anthony Prechtl, which draws on theory described here – Hex. The performance can be found youtube here – Stern Brocot at the OU.
