HARMONICS
Here you have the opportunity to get acquainted with 24 harmonics !
Just as everyone should take a period to familiarize themselves with the history of tunings and try some of them, everyone should also become acquainted with the harmonics.
Harmonics is the background for all music.
They are the basis of what we perceive harmoniously.
If you play only one note, all these notes will sound even though we never can tell and hear them.
Our usual western music is called 5-limit. It is based on connections only up to the 5th overtone, the major third.
But folk music very often use both the 7th and 11th overtones. (Barbershop is using the 7th)
And if you are interested in moving into completely unfamiliar moods that Kronos works well with a little creativity, there are several Facebook pages to join.

This can also be done on an acoustic keyboard.
Watch the beginning of the VIDEO.
Here, too, is C major 10 in the User Scale.
I will recommend the tuning that is missing the 23th harmonic.
It is easier to play with.
Thsn for example, we can start at C2
1. harmonic C2
2. harmonic C3
3. harmonic G3 and G#3
4. harmonic C4
5. harmonic E4
6. harmonic G4 and G#4
7. harmonic Bb4
8. harmonic C5
9. harmonic D5
10. harmonic E5
11. harmonic F#5
12. harmonic G5 and G#5
13. harmonic A5
14. harmonic Bb5
15.harmonic B5
16. harmonic C6
17. harmonic Db6
18. harmonic D6
19. harmonic Eb6
20. harmonic E6
21. harmonic F6
22. harmonic F#6
24. harmonic G6 and G#6
If you choose the "24 harmonics" , then the 23.harmonic will be found on the G key.
With creative use of this it should be possible to make strange music and not static because you can change the keynote
Try:
Play a chord that really crashes in the treble.
Then put on the keynote in the bass, add major third, minor seventh and none and hear how the dissonances are used in a way merge.
Good luck!
