<p>The emphasis of this group on the recognition that timbre - specifically vocal timbre, but other timbres as well - can be filtered naturally to emphasize it structure of partials leads me to think about timbre as the fundamental basis of music.

<p>The emphasis of this group on the recognition that timbre - specifically vocal timbre, but other timbres as well - can be filtered naturally to emphasize it structure of partials leads me to think about timbre as the fundamental basis of music. As such, not every timbre has harmonic, even-multiple partials, and so decisions like "What is this note in relation to other notes" or "What is consonance?" or "what sounds should come next?" now can be approached at a low level.<br/> I'm working on some software that is about timbral composition. this is already familiar to this group, since anytime a tone is held and the harmonics selectively emphasized, you are actually changing the timbre for musical effect. The same happens on fujaras, berimbaus, khomuses, talking drums and udus, Dan Kni, muted horns, and even the peculiar Otomotone. <br/> Most of these instruments have roughly harmonic timbral structures, the main deviation from which coming from material properties (like string inharmonicity, unstable resonators (like mouths), and the nature of the excitation causing the sound. Going with that are properties of timbral evolution control, and how an instruments reacts to differing strengths of impulses or other ways of adding and removing energy from the resonating system. <br/>
Furthermore, not only do the musicians react to the sounds they produce, other musicians and instruments also are affected physically by the current sound and how its energy is expressed as pressure. <br/>
I'm trying to come up with a simulation of all these properties with the aim of making thought experiments in timbrally aware compositions where there are few barriers between timbre, ambience, melody, harmony, and explicit and resultant evolutions/sequences of sounds.</p>
<p>Wish me luck!</p>

<p>You have seen fujara pictures, you’ve heard it’s voice, maybe you even have a fujara or koncovka already at home, now is the time you find out that you could have the tremendous experience to play it yourselves!<br/> Fujara is an amazing music instrument that is easy to play (shepherds without any music education could play it). It has only three side holes, while the other Slovak instrument, the koncovka, has no side holes at all. Still, you might be surprised how many melodies and improvisations are possible to be played on both instruments.<br/> You might also be surprised to learn that the best fujara course is right here in the USA! <br/>
In fact, it is the only one in the entire Western Hemisphere; such a program is not available even in Slovakia!<br/>
The popular week-long course is actually part of the summer program Common Ground on the Hill, at beautiful campus of McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland.<br/>
Now in its eight year, the 2018 course will be a the last week of June, 6/25 - 6/29. <br/>
Students drive and fly here from many states to learn to play both fujara and koncovka, we have fun and on the last day of the course, students can appear playing on stage, as we did in past years. Many say, that the week full of music, jamming and evening concerts was the best vacation of their life and I say that too and I am looking forward very much to it!<br/>

<p>In Afro-American Folksongs, published in 1913, ,Henry E. Krehbiel describes an African instrument called a zanze as follows:</p>
<p>"The zanze is a small sound-box...hollowed out in the form of a round gourd to the upper side of which, over a bridge, are tightly affixed a series of wooden or metal tongues of different lengths. The tongues are snapped with the thumbs...and give out a most agreeable sound. I find out no records in the accounts of travellers as to any systematic tuning of the…</p>
<p>In Afro-American Folksongs, published in 1913, ,Henry E. Krehbiel describes an African instrument called a zanze as follows:</p>
<p>"The zanze is a small sound-box...hollowed out in the form of a round gourd to the upper side of which, over a bridge, are tightly affixed a series of wooden or metal tongues of different lengths. The tongues are snapped with the thumbs...and give out a most agreeable sound. I find out no records in the accounts of travellers as to any systematic tuning of the instrument, but a specimen from Zululand in my possession is accurately tuned to the notes of the pentatonic scale.with the addition of two erratic tones side-by-side in the middle of the instrument..." [Afro-American Folksongs, p. 68]</p>
<p>Krehbiel continues at another opening:</p>
<p>"I have mentioned a Zulu zanze which is in my possession--. It has pentatonic tuning down to two middle tongues, which emit strangely aberrant tones. The key is D-flat. The tongues on one side emit the descending order, D-flat, E-flat and B-flat; on the other B-flat, F, D-flat and A-flat....Between the right and left rows of tongues lie the two which give out the strange, wild notes A and B." [Afro-American Folksongs, p. 74]</p>
<p>The instrument Krehbiel describes sounds like a thumb piano in today's terms. Other than saying the instrument came from Zululand, he provides no other idea of its origin. Assuming the instrument is authentic, the question came to me as to whether the tuning he describes, especially the aberrant notes, belong to a natural scale. Krehbiel assumes that the tuning is diatonic. I'm not sure that is a good assumption for a genuine folk instrument. For one thing, the pentatonic tuning could as well result from the gaps in a natural scale.</p>
<p>Assuming Krehbiel's description of the pitches is accurate, I transposed them down a half step to C and fitted them to what appears to be an approximation of a natural scale.

<p>Here's the complicated addendum. It shows how bagpipes, natural trumpets, and the diatonic scale combined in what's called the "Choral Key" which is D major.</p>
