Jim Plamondon (the guy who is trying to get the "thummer", an
inexpensive 2-d hex controller to market) has put up a youtube video
showing some of the possibilities. The video is here:
Here's a paper out recently in the Computer Music Journal describing
the methods and system of the thummer (co-authored by Plamondon, Andy
Milne, and myself)

... I'm not a great fan of musical set theory, but you're making a ridiculous request. Set theory doesn't make claims or predictions about tonal chord...
... I was using the term "set theory" very broadly there. I just mean any of the rubbish music theory I've seen, from Agmon to Tymoczko. ... Tymoczko makes...
Dear Carl, [Please let me know if this post if off-topic in this list. This post is not about tunings as such, but about creating chord progressions in non-12...
Hi Torsten, ... I will have to cop out with an excuse: I don't have time at the moment. I do not archive the bad music theory papers I've read over the years....
Dear Carl, ... Sorry, I don't fully understand your question. In an ascending progression, the root of the preceding chord is a pitch in the following chord....
What i remember which goes quite far back in time and my copy is still unpacked is strong progressions are where more important note/s become less and vice...
Dear Kraig, ... thanks for your mail. Unfortunately, I don't quite understand what you mean by "strong progressions are where more important note/s become less...
I remember reading this by Schoenberg somewhere. i mean we are talking 30 years but it did strike me. where the root becomes the fifth or the fifth the third...
... Schoenbergs terminology is definitely the reverse (although he tries to avoid the term weak, uses descending instead). But he remarks in a footnote that...
i am sure translation is part of the problem. Still one could use higher harmonics in this way. introducing them as lower harmonics in preceding chords. ...
... You mean, a preparation of higher harmonics -- much like the preparation of dissonances in common practise music? That's a very nice idea. Not the same as...
I was thinking of the higher harmonics as consonances ( which they are more so than not). So the idea is to expand the idea of first third and fifth harmonic...
Hi Torsten, ... Let's not give Schoenberg too much credit as a music theorist. He was on the other hand one of the best composers ever known (at least until he...
