”April WEATHER… ahem… I mean… April XEN-ther, rain and
sunshine all together!” Here we have XENPILLED, and next, XENTAR!
Gordon Wery, who runs the YouTube channel “xenpilled,” joins us to
talk about cool microtonal scales using sharp 5ths and dual fifths,
tuning choices and benefits of focused approaches, streaming and
simulcasting, synthesizers, and practicality. We get a demo of the
Linnstrument, and Gordon performs one of his new songs in 22edo for
us! Also, be sure to check out Gordon’s interview series on
xenpilled amongst his near-daily livestreams about xen! (I was
there on March 21st, the 549th stream!)
