Bohl-en Roll |
  |
|
A piece based on a dodecatonic scale which repeats every 1901.955 cents (3/1 ratio). In order to fit a BP scale into an octave of a standard keyboard I chose to eliminate one of the usual 13 steps of it and I based this decision on the Bohlen-Pierce Scale Research Paper by Elaine Walker (the pattern of my scale is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13).
 Listen to Bohl-en Roll

how come someone, privately, referred to this song as "aggressively unpleasant" 
Is that so?

 guys
and thanks to the guy who said it was "aggressively unpleasant" because somehow, I think, in a good way, it is as I replied to him: "once in a while it is cool to feel aggressively unpleasant". Just for a change...  You can not possibly be always a nice guy

this is nice, like this rock, though beats could harden up, though, most probably, it would make the whole track more "aggressively 'you never know what may pleasure be' unpleasant"  |

I agree,
If it sounded more like a real person, albeit a slightly unstable, overly excited, person was sitting behind the drumkit, then that would be the icing on the cake.

| Sorry if I am much too late on the thread, but I have been studying the Bohlen-Pierce Scale lately and have stumbled upon this song. Did you modify any of the notes besides eliminating the 5th one from your scale? And which version of the BP-Scale is it? Equal temperature or just? |

you can find all the explanations here.
The scale is the equal division of the tritave version

| Thanks for the follow-up. I find the tritave to be fascinating and I wish there was more stuff on it out there. Everything I've read about the BP-scale has been through Elaine Walker's research. I'm thinking of programming a midi controller and working out some chord progressions using it. |
