Playlist • Microtonality and the Struggle for Fretlessness in the Digital Age
This playlist accompanies my article “Microtonality and the Struggle for Fretlessness in the Digital Age” that appeared in the CTM Festival magazine, published in Berlin Jan 2019 and distributed during the festival.
Not all the recordings in this playlist are available on streaming platforms, hence my choice upload to mixcloud.
Use the player above to listen. Tracklist below.
