Artist Spotlight: The Sonny Downs Quartet

The Sonny Downs Quartet is proud to present a selection of music written for Buchla 200e. All pieces were composed and performed exclusively on the 200e, with no external MIDI sequencing and no multitracking. Everything was sequenced or played using a 252e, 251e, and 223e.

 

None of the music uses 12-tone equal temperament. Since the release of Village Melodies in 2020, I have been writing music exclusively using just intonation, using up to 11-limit tuning.
