Music of Julian Carillo
Today's posting is the work of a Mexican Composer that I now rank with Reveultas-- which is a high compliment from me. Carillo started out as a fairly traditional late romantic/turn of the century composer, but became one of the first true microtonal composers, creating his own microtonal notation, theory and record label (Sonido 13), creating works in quarter, eighth , and sixteenth tones, and leading to the creation of new instruments. From what I've been able to establish, the Sonido 13 LPs are rare, and have never been released digitally. I have split this into two volumes-- the first is provided from Karl Miller's collection, and the second is material that I've found that i publicly posted-- albeit with less information.
For what it's worth-- I'm a big fan of composers/musicians that work with microtones and alternate tunings-- there is a sound acoustical and scientific basis there that I don't see in serialism. But that is my own pet peeve. Your mileage may vary-- but I find Carillo's later work to be fascinating.
