about

Leaven is for guitar and marimba tuned a quarter-tone apart, but implicitly a harmonic tuning system. The underlying concept is a low fundamental that gradually ascends in pitch, so that each partial eventually aligns with an equal-tempered note. That alignment also determines pitch order. For this version, the guitar is tuned ¼ tone flat, which, with a standard marimba, produces the composite 24-note scale.
