Now and Xen


May 24, 2021

Check out our latest conversation with the brilliant guitarist Tolgahan Çoğulu, inventor of the LEGO microtonal guitar and automatic microtonal guitar. We dive into how these guitars work, how they could be useful for playing microtones, the inspiration behind these incredible ideas, and the geometry of making frets tune accurately on a LEGO grid! If anyone listening to this episode wants to sponsor the automatic microtonal guitar, or knows someone who would, please reach out to Tolgahan at microtonalguitarist@gmail.com
