Sevish – Midnight Cascade

In Midnight Cascade, Sevish employs just intonation in tuning their instruments.

A just intonation tuning system is any tuning system that attempts to tune musical intervals as whole-number ratios. Such whole number ratios appear naturally in almost all sounds as the harmonic series, and when sounded, no beating is heard. That being said, attempting to create rigid tuning systems using the rules of the harmonic series doesn’t work as one would first expect, as music commonly requires more notes than just one harmonic series can provide. As such, just intonation tuning systems frequently sound just as, if not more, out of tune than standard twelve-tone equal temperament. However, if one is using a scale-free instrument like a trombone, voice, or any instrument of the violin family, they would naturally be inclined to play in what is called adaptive just intonation, which is basically what all just intonation tuning systems attempt to emulate.

Time With Me – Pinkpantheress

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQyrXIyZM0g&list=PLl0lBgbhKo3uoB0It9e57y6lxtVx6h3zM&index=1

I’ve been listening to Pinkpantheress for a couple months, starting with her small discography on SoundCloud. Time With Me is one of her songs that I discovered more recently, and it’s quickly become one of my favourites of hers. Pinkpantheress’ sound has influences of DnB & electronica and uses funk samples in a couple of her tracks. I love this track specifically because of its funny lyrics, its dirty jazzy chords, and the quick but laid back drums.

Frank Ocean – Songs for Women

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2VRjNmYyts&list=PLl0lBgbhKo3uoB0It9e57y6lxtVx6h3zM&index=2

I listen to a lot of Frank Ocean, but I had never heard this song because it’s only available on SoundCloud. I love the instrumental of this song, produced by Happy Perez, but what I love even more is the lyrics. On the surface, it’s a funny song about how Frank likes to use his musical talent to attract women, but as I dove deeper into the lyrics I realised that the song is about Frank deciding whether to rue or revel in his conflicted feelings about women. On one hand his musical talent gives him leverage with the ladies, but the struggle and effort of creating the music pushes his love interest further away, as they spend less time together.

Baraka – I’ll be There

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxcz83OFB1g&list=PLl0lBgbhKo3uoB0It9e57y6lxtVx6h3zM&index=4

I found this song while scrolling through old Jungle/DnB mixes on YouTube. It was released in 1995, and after searching for the DJ on google I could find 2 pieces of information about him: His real name is John Lisners, and a blurry picture of him with sunglasses and a hat on. Despite the fact that he’s virtually unknown and a very mysterious figure, I’ll be There is a very popular jungle classic and the comments on the YouTube Video regard it as one of the greatest Jungle tracks of all time. I see where they’re coming from. This track is near perfect, from the bouncing lead synth, to the fast, hard hitting drums, to the breakdowns where he chops each sound up and switches them around to create a new but old sound.
