tuba player and composer Robin Hayward joins N.K. for a
two-day
workshop based around the recently developed Hayward Tuning
Vine
interface for Just Intonation.<br>
Just Intonation is the system of
microtonal tuning based on whole number frequency<br>
relationships,
and is the acoustic basis underlying such musical intervals
as the
perfect<br>
fifth and major third, as well as less common microtonal
intervals such as the septimal<br>
minor seventh and neutral sixth.
Through colour-coding and spatialising the harmonic<br>
relationships,
the Hayward Tuning Vine allows them to be explored
intuitively,
enabling<br>
them to be seen as well as heard. It therefore makes Just
Intonation more accessible to<br>
people who might otherwise be put
off by its apparently abstract and mathematical nature,<br>
and
provides an ideal introduction to the theory and practice of
microtonal music.</font></font></font></p>

basic knowledge of music theory would be advisable, and
either some
competence<br>
on a sustaining pitch instrument or a willingness to
use the voice to tune intervals. By far<br>
the most important factor
though is a strong desire to learn about microtonality
and<br>
willingness to try stuff out together with the other
participants.</font></font></font></p>

• brief
discussion of notation for Just Intonation<br>
• tuning intervals
based on prime numbers 17, 19 and 23<br>
• integrating these higher
primes into the exercises, improvisations and
compositions<br>
