Story behind the song
My submission to the "Electroclette" competition 2015. The call was for musical pieces that use sound samples of raclette, a tradtional swiss dish with melted cheese, the samples including things like frizzling of the heating cheese, the popping sounds when opening a wine bottle, sounds of a pepper mill putting pepper over the cheese, clinging of wine glasses etc. I, of course, added microtones to the picture. The tuning of my contribution is 27edt (a tritave divided into 27 equal parts), approximated in 17edo. 27edt has been proposed as a natural tuning system for Klingon music, and accordingly, there are some, errm, vocals in Klingon language in the piece. As the whole competition has a slight promotion character for raclette, my contribution may be supposed to be a sort of promotion for raclette food in the Klingon world. The piece is rather short, actually not really music yet, not even much of the xenharmonic properties of 27edt really come out - except the strong position the number 3 has in it. First there is the period interval of the tritave (3:1), which is then divided into 3 parts, then each of these in turn is divided into 3 parts and at the end each of these again. Then we are at a full chromatic 27-tone scale. The same happens in time (one measure is divided into 27 parts at the end).
