So true. It’s just a default. No font is less value than Times New Roman just because it’s there when you start a new Word doc. Also not too worried about the hegemony of the piano-style keyboard.
Like physical instruments, electronic ones can be made to suit your needs. Same for composers and automation.
- picolisp 6y agoWhat popular intruments can be made to play microtunal / non-Equal tempermant without major modifications? Sitar, and fretless stringed instruments come to mind, but I wouldnt say "like physical instruments" because the culture of building musical tools is so heavily influenced by western musicians.
- quantified 6y agoI don’t play wind, but I think trombone fits in. Popular is at odds with “doing things the majority of people don’t do” of course. Like asking about popular non-QWERTY Apple keyboards. Unpopular doesn’t mean “you suck for wanting it”, just “hey not our thing, do it if you want to.” You need compositions and maybe an audience. 4/4 and equal temperament just benefit from a network effect. There is a significant culture of non-Western instruments and non-Western musicians. Probably a good starting point.
