Скачать или смотреть just intonation pure harmonic tuning with Butoh dance in Zipolite

This tutorial walks through a practical, ear-based method for microtonal tuning in just intonation, using a keyboard-style instrument (piano, clavichord, harpsichord, or harp-like layout) as the reference.

We begin with Pythagorean tuning (3-limit) and gradually mutate the system into 5-limit and 7-limit just intonation, showing how each harmonic limit reshapes interval identity, resonance, and tonal gravity.

Rather than treating tuning as a fixed system, this video focuses on process:
how to listen, how to verify, and how to move between harmonic worlds.

Topics covered:

• Tuning from pure fifths (Pythagorean / 3-limit)
• Mutating intervals into 5-limit just intonation
• Extending the system into 7-limit harmony
• Subminor intervals and neutral thirds
• Thumb harmonics & overtone references
• Multiple tuning reference strategies
• Psychoacoustic cues: beating, fusion, roughness, shimmer
• How to check if an interval is truly “in tune”
• Pattern-based thinking for microtonal keyboards
• Alternative tuning paths and decision points
• Applying these ideas to keyed and harp-like instruments

This approach is designed for musicians, composers, instrument builders, and curious listeners who want to move beyond abstract ratios and into embodied tuning practice — tuning as something you hear, feel, and navigate rather than calculate.
