a new disaster?
disorganized and conclusionless thoughts

i like the fez/hyper light drifter osts' aesthetic. that's the kind of music i want to make. but i also want to make it xen, because that sounds cool and there's no good reason not to.
core elements of this style:

• chiptune timbres (esp sawtooth)
• bitcrushing, detuning, and overall making it sound kind of destroyed
• expressive/ambient timing
• jazz-style conflation of scales with chords

that last one is the tough one if we want it xen. we need scales which are melodically strong and mostly consonant, which are famously pretty tough to come by. i think i should work with alternating generators maybe, but idk. like, finding a macrotemperament and detempering it? also been checking out mosses that repeat at the fifth, which sound cool. also there's this 7-limit scale generated by 5/4 and repeating at 4/3 tempering out the marvel comma. it feels really valuable but i have no clue what to do with it. thats all for now :p
