Bohlen-Pierce Scale Symposium, Boston 2010 (21 Videos)

There has been enough interest in the Bohlen-Pierce Scale - a macrotonal musical tuning system based on a 3/1 frame called a "tritave" divided by 13 steps - that an entire symposium was organized in Boston in 2010. It included 3 days of talks and 3 nights of music. I rearranged 3 keyboards for the BP Scale, and with the help of Dr Boulanger and two local PhD chamber musicians, we performed two ZIA songs. I also lectured the following day. See it all here!

  • Bio

    ZIA is an exclusively electronic band who began performing on the East Coast in 1992. Founded by Elaine Walker, ZIA bangs out pro-space and sci-fi music on futuristic instruments. All of the synths are triggered LIVE with drum sticks. Microtonal musical scales run rampant throughout the ZIA repertoire. In the pop genre this is a monumental task which adds an eerie, futuristic edge to the songs. ZIA was together for 13 years in Boston and NYC, and then relocated to Arizona, developing a larger show, complete with a spacey storyline. ZIA currently has 3 full length albums and two EPs. The newest release, Martians, was officially released at the first XPrize Cup in Las Cruces, NM, Elaine's home town! The video for the title track was filmed on Devon Island in the Canadian High Arctic, commissioned by the Haughton-Mars Project.
