What if Hey Ya used 31 notes instead of 12?
Support me on Patreon: / levimcclain What could Outkast's Hey Ya sound like if we reinterpreted it with microtonal harmony? In todays microtonal music theory deep dive and video essay, Mel Presson and I explore the xenharmonic world of 31 EDO (also called 31 TET). We'll show you behind the scenes of how to arrange a song with microtones using neutral harmony and a special subset of 31 EDO: Heptatonic Mohajira. What would Hey Ya sound like if we had 31 notes per octave instead of 12? Mel's Page: https://www.instagram.com/melpresson_...
