This episode includes an excerpt of Miles Okazaki’s video on tuning a guitar using harmonics.
It also includes synthesized versions of three excerpts of pieces by JS Bach, which I tempo-mapped to the following recordings:
Glenn Gould - Goldberg Variations BWV 988 - Aria (1741)
Glenn Gould - Sinfonia No. 9 in F Minor, BWV 795 (1723)
Angela Hewitt - The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080: Contrapunctus I
Other music in this episode:
Kronos Quartet - Ben Johnston: String Quartet No. 4 "Amazing Grace" (1973)
The Hilliard Ensemble - Tallis: The Lamentations of Jeremiah I. Incipit lamentatio (c. 1560)
Golden Gate Quartet - "Swing Down, Chariot" (1946)
Tim Eriksen - "John Colby's Hymn" (2004)
Winne Clement - "Fujara" (2015)
Underworld - "Rez" (1994)
Wordcolour - "Fundamentals" (2023)
I used MTS-ESP for all of the tuning. It’s an amazing plugin.
