Xenharmonic Praxis Summer Camp

Xenharmonic Praxis Summer Camp

Apply Now! There are only 10 spots available to participate in this program. Applications are due May 15.

We are now accepting applications to the third annual Xenharmonic Praxis Summer Camp, to take place July 19-28, 2013 at Music from Salem. Xenharmonic Praxis Summer Camp is a time and a place for musicians to compose, practice, and perform new and oddly-tuned musics together.

Through a series of historical accidents, Western society’s music—instruments, history, theory, practice, pedagogy, consciousness—has come to be dominated by a single tuning system, often called “twelve-tone equal temperament.” This dominance is so pervasive that it is often completely invisible. Students of music who wonder “Why these notes on the piano, and not some others?” are all too often answered with “Those are the only correct notes—anything else is out of tune!”

A world of more satisfying answers to this question unfolds to those looking for it: millennia-old traditions of music tuned differently; surprising inquiries & insights into how we hear; proposals for new systems yet untried. This camp is for those who want to dream up and realize new, thoughtfully-tuned music and contexts which support it.

We use the term xenharmonic after microtonal pioneer Ivor Darreg, to refer to these unfamiliar-yet-hospitable musical terrains.

We use the term praxis after radical educator Paolo Freire, to refer to an ongoing dialectic between theory and practice, between action and reflection, each process informing and completing the other.

We envision a Xenharmonic Praxis Summer Camp where musicians from a variety of backgrounds converge and suspend the need for “one true answer” for long enough to get deep into a new, unpopular proposal; where distinct roles of audience, composer, theorist, performer, designer are inhabited temporarily, not reserved for experts or assumed as an identity.

Hi,

We finally started taking orders for the new version of our Adjustable Microtonal Guitar fretboards and necks. I can send you the brochure if you are interested.

There are several types of instruments that the fretboards and necks can be pre-ordered: classical, acoustic, electric, bass, ukulele.

All fretboards will be sent with 110 main fretlets, 40 extra fretlets (in 4 sizes), 10 long frets, 10 fretless frets, 1 special tweezers, 1 fret tuner, a box for extra frets, and a special box for the delivery of the fretboard.

Looking forward to your reply.

All the best from Córdoba and Happy new year,

Prof. Dr. Tolgahan Çoğulu

Conservatorio Superior de Música en Córdoba
