In this episode, Stephen and SEVISH talk with Elaine Walker (the brains behind "ZIA") about her new EP (Four-Momentum) and various equal tunings. Recurring experiential topics include performance, hardware/software, compression/mastering/pop-music, and composing strategies. Elaine also has a lot to say about keyboards of all types, having designed many Halberstadt keyboards for equal tunings. Hexagonal keyboards, crowdfunding, and fostering interest in musicians are just a few of the many groundbreaking ideas discussed here.

Why label songs with their corresponding microtonal tunings? Elaine gives the listener lots of reasons to do so! Music Intro: ZIA - Love is the Catalyst (10edo) Outro: ZIA - Skate Space (16edo)
