Since the early 2010s, a new microtonal scene has formed worldwide, especially online. It is genre-open, community-based and experimental. Discord, YouTube and podcasts are just as important as concerts and instrument making. Untwelving brings this scene to Munich live for the first time on this scale. Untwelving means: de-twelve. It refers to overcoming the familiar 12-tone equal temperament in favour of new sound systems. The alternative division of the octave into more or less than twelve equal steps opens up new tonal spaces for a young international scene between pop, rock, electronic, jazz and new music.
Concerts, lectures, workshops, musical instrument exhibition, showcases & club night.
Free Admission to all events, except the Xenharmonic Space Concert at Kammerspiele, Saturday the 23rd of May, 7:30pm.
Accessibility is important to us. Please don’t hesitate to
contact us if needed — we’ll be happy to assist!

Seit den frühen 2010er-Jahren hat sich weltweit – vor allem online – eine neuemikrotonale Szene formiert. Sie ist genreoffen, community-basiert und experimentierfreudig. Discord,YouTube und Podcasts sind dabei ebenso wichtig wie Konzerte undInstrumentenbau. Untwelving bringt diese Szene erstmals in dieser Breite live nach München. Untwelving bedeutet: Ent-Zwölfeln. Gemeint ist die Überwindung der gewohnten 12-Ton-Gleichstimmung hin zu neuen Klangsystemen. Die alternative Teilung der Oktave in mehr oder weniger als zwölf gleich große Schritte eröffnet neue Tonräume für eine junge internationaleSzene zwischen Pop, Rock, Elektronik, Jazz und Neuer Musik.
Konzerte, Lectures, Workshops, Musikinstrumentenausstellung, Showcases & Clubnight.
Freier Eintritt zu allen Veranstaltungen außer dem Xenharmonic-Space-Konzert in den Kammerspielen am 23. Mai um 19:30 Uhr.
Barrierefreiheit ist uns ein Anliegen.
