To mark the birthday of our late friend Donald Bousted on 21st November, duo Contour, are releasing three movements of 19.5, recorded live to video, which were originally one online performance made as part of the ‘Mikrotöne: Small is Beautiful’ Symposium hosted by the Ekmelic Society in 2021.

19.5 (nineteen point five)

A 12- movement, 57- minute work for 19-div trumpet and malletKAT by DONALD BOUSTED (2011/14 rev. 2018/19). Dedicated to duo Contour (Stephen Altoft and Lee Ferguson) who commissioned the work. Dedicated to Lewis Jones and Patrick Ozzard-Low, whose enthusiasm and knowledge about 19-division tuning inspired this project in 2000.
