An a similar but also not similar note, today in the morning I and chatgpt tried to create a new kind of musical instrument<p><a href="https://franzelio.franzai.com/" rel="nofollow">https://franzelio.franzai.com/</a><p>sadly no uptick on HN
I knew a musician who once clicked on a "ring for customer service" bell at the service counter of a laundromat, and then told the arriving attendant "Your bell is a quarter-tone flat."
Obligatory reference to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's album "Flying Microtonal Banana"<p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Microtonal_Banana" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Microtonal_Banana</a><p>Excerpt:
<i>"the album is recorded in quarter tone tuning, where an octave is divided into 24 (logarithmically) equal-distanced quarter tones; it was originally conceived to play on a baglama, so the band members used instruments specifically modified for microtonal tuning, as well as other Middle-Eastern instruments like the zurna."</i><p>Billabong Valley live at KEXP: <a href="https://youtu.be/bvtF2Ie90m0" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/bvtF2Ie90m0</a>
Some here may be interested by this fantasy for a microtonal piano:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw5-RAhYt80" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw5-RAhYt80</a><p>Made with my software: HighC <a href="https://highc.org" rel="nofollow">https://highc.org</a>
