I had a bug in the original code for Tango, which I fixed today. It was occasionally choosing a sample file out of range, and as a result leaving out the notes. Hundreds of them I think. The fix was simple, and here is a new version. The keys are either otonalities (maj) or utonalities (min), chosen by picking one from the list of 33 keys, and moving up and down the list using the Markov Chain Drunkard’s Walk.

1. An-maj
2. Bn-maj
3. An-maj
4. G+-maj
5. F+-maj
6. G+-maj
7. An-maj
8. Bn-maj
9. C#-maj
10. Bn-maj
11. C#-maj
12. Bn-maj
13. C#-maj
14. E–maj
15. G–maj
16. A#-maj
17. D+-maj
18. Fn-maj
19. D+-maj
20. Fn-maj
21. Ab-maj
22. Cn-maj
23. E+-min
24. Cn-maj
25. E+-min
26. E–min
27. E+-min
28. Cn-maj
29. Ab-maj
30. Fn-maj
31. Ab-maj

This is a playlist of some new versions of the twelve dance pieces for Prent’s Microtonal Slide Bosendorfers that I’ve been working on through 2017 & the start of 2018. In honor of the RPM challenge, I’ve redone all of them in the month of February. Actually, I redid them all today, February 27th, but the spirit is there, if the mechanics are vague. The language doesn’t say you can’t spend a year composing the songs that you intend to perform during the month of February, so that’s what I’ve done the last two times: compose all year, then produce realizations using my software during the month of February. All are based on classical piano works retuned or transformed on some major level from their original. Those at the end of the list were done first, and they have the most major transformations. Many stroll through their pieces using the Drunkard’s Walk Markov Chain, going forward or backward through the measures.
