Mike Battaglia - “Wordless Prayer/12-Bar Blues“ (Full Performance, 24-EDO, Lumatone Artist Series)

Watch @MikeBattagliaMusic’s mind-blowing performance of “Wordless Prayer,“ a blues-inspired original composition, using a brilliant approach to variable microtonality on Lumatone. Starting with a 24-EDO mapping, Mike programmed his Lumatone’s mod wheel to allow him to adjust the quarter-tone intervals in real time. With the mod wheel at the top, it’s 24-edo. As the mod wheel is lowered, all of the half-sharp/half-flat notes move together in unison lower. The result is an instrument that gives Mike the ultimate flexibility to subtly play just like a guitarist would, completely from his gut, without the often artificial sound and hand-distracting need for a pitch wheel. Filmed live at South Street Sounds in Philadelphia, PA. Stay tuned for more full performances and interviews with inspiring artists as part of the new Lumatone Artist Series! ....................
