I stumbled on the ABBA-BAAB-BAAB-ABBA sequence (to 16 places) back in the late 1980s to use as a contour choice ordering algorithm to use to objectively...
Scala version 2.21v is now available for OS X 10.4 Tiger. Many thanks to Nick Dan for this who did a lot of work in getting it to compile and making an...
With all due respect to the alleged pioneers and innovators of alternative tuning systems, and, adding the caveat that I have a woefully restricted listening ...
Of course! If you're doing so now, just remember that the interval of equivalence in part 1 of my paper is always assumed to be an (approximate) 2:1 or...
... These effects can be measured, and have been discussed quite a bit here, as well as on lists concerned with historically authentic harpsichord and organ...
Ozan does indeed have an exotic baritone voice, which he has used to produce a wonderful "tongue in cheek" rendition of Highgate Cemetery. Now it's up to me to...
... My 2 cents is that very small pitch deviations are not going to be heard in rapid music, but in slow music tiny deviations become apparent. As for...
... Yes, it is amazing that there can be so many consonant *triads* in a 5-tone scale! Did Bohlen/Pierce consider those 1/(3:5:7) chords as valid harmonies? I...

traditional instruments were designed to also make timbres that matched the tuning family they were used in. The solution is to use new acoustic instruments...

Oh, that's painful. Not only did Bach invent ET, but ET is based on an arithmetic progression of frequency - the same number of Hertz difference between each...
Hi Charles, ... I've enjoyed your initial renditions of this. Another option for people who want to employ - at least at first - non-human vocals, one can...
Hi all Although name of bach is attached to invention of ET , but it was farabi who worked on pythagorean musical legacy and used 144-ET (may be impressed by...
Sorry, Shaahin - guess my sarcasm wasn't quite obvious enough. Last I heard, our best guess at Bach's tuning was something along the lines of Weckmeister III....
