I invented the Hayward Tuning Vine because I wanted to both see and hear the multidimensionality implicit within Just Intonation. I wanted to be able to navigate through it, whilst maintaining a clear sense of both harmonic and melodic relationships.

Finally, I invented it because I wanted to focus fully on the music, rather than getting bogged down in the maths that lie behind Just Intonation.

Off of our upcoming full length record called Dead Man Summer, released June 9th 2017. This song is called Dig out the Driveway.

Just an idea, in case users have not noticed: it is possible to open multiples instances of the Vine.

Personally I often use 2 at a time, either for 2 tonalities or 2 different sounds (for example, sine waves + saw) I want to use/hear simultaneously.

Here is a piece I wrote using the tuning vine as a moving drone system that a string bass and pedal steel play along with. More information is available on the youtube link.
