about

The Village Pond was composed over 2020 to 2021 on a Buchla 200e modular synthesizer.

No external MIDI devices or DAW were used. All pieces were live-performed and recorded direct to stereo.

Untempered just intonation is used throughout, with up to 11-limit ratios. Each piece employs a different heptatonic scale.

A very small amount of compression and distortion has been used. The result is an album which does not sound loud, but rather retains dynamic impact, deep bass and clean highs that will reward a good set of speakers or headphones.

The album has been beautifully mastered and released on vinyl in a run of 150 pressings.

The Sonny Downs Quartet Coffs Harbour, Australia

The Sonny Downs Quartet makes microtonal music using the Buchla 200e modular synthesizer, on the lush green coast of Eastern Australia surrounded by subtropical rainforest.
The Quartet uses just intonation, a natural tuning method which uses intervals based on simple ratios, rather than the more common 12 tone equal division of the octave.
