about
Julián Carrillo Trujillo (January 28, 1875–September 9, 1965) was a Mexican microtonal composer and musical scientist. He devised Sonido 13 ("The Thirteenth Tone"), a microtonal music system for composition beyond the conventional western twelve-note octave. While experimenting with his violin in 1895, Julián Carrillo discovered the sixteenths of tone, i.e., sixteen clearly different sounds between the pitches of G and A emitted by the fourth violin string. Because there are six whole tones in conventional tuning to the next octave, a musical scale made with sixteenths of each tone has 96 different notes or pitches. In contrast to this, the scale made with half-tones has only 12 pitches. On the basis of this discovery, Carrillo proposed a radical change of the musical system. The "Thirteenth Sound" revolution is an attempt to incorporate musical microintervals into the musical system, i.e., to compose music with microintervals. The number 13 is not a proposal to use a scale made with thirteen sounds, but a symbol of the break with the traditional twelve-pitch (chromatic) scale that has been the basis of Western musical system. When a composer breaks with the twelve-pitch scale, he or she is in front of an infinity of tempered and non tempered scales for composition. Julián Carrillo reformed theories of music and physics of music. He invented a surprisingly easy musical notation based on numbers that can represent scales based on any musical interval within the octave, li
