Twelve Microtonal Etudes for Electronic Music Media

Twelve Microtonal Etudes for Electronic Music Media, Op. 28, is a set of pieces in various microtonal equal temperaments composed and released on LP in 1980 by American composer Easley Blackwood Jr.

Orchestral Arrangement by Matthew Sheeran
In January 2024, an acoustic performance of the Twelve Microtonal Etudes on real orchestral instruments, titled "Acoustic Microtonal," was released by Matthew Sheeran (brother to singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran). The album, featuring the Budapest Scoring Orchestra, was produced by Sheeran, who arranged Blackwood's original compositions for traditional orchestral instruments. The recording was produced by first having the orchestral musicians perform "approximated" 12-tone versions of the original etudes on their instruments. These preliminary recordings were then transformed into their intended tunings using the Melodyne electronic retuning software. ==Sources==
