Check out this conversation with
Aaron Myers-Brooks, Pittsburgh prog guitarist/composer
extraordinaire. His latest album, “Oblique,” is a microtonal
odyssey exploring various quirky polyrhythms, applications of
17-tone equal temperament, electronic sounds, and distortion
flavors. We get an inside exclusive look at the scores to “Energy
Shapes”, figure out why one might use up and down arrows instead of
Gould accidentals, and talk about “drawing” microtones in the highC
program.
