Woo hoo! She did it. The last uploaded file, ridgetune.mp3, is
the "ridgewalk tour" processed similarly to the way the short one
was. The main difference is that the short one was time compressed
200%, this one only 100% because it's pacing was quicker to start
with. That gives it approximately the same final pacing, and makes
it quite a bit longer. (I went ahead and had it put in my egroups
folder instead of my personal space because it was a simpler process
for my wife.)

Hi David!

Congrats on your recent postings, and thank you so much for them.
The new "corrected" tour is terrific as well as the "ridgetune" which
is a nice variation!

I really enjoy hearing the files while following my "green pizza" and
"trip" itinerary.

I will be playing this for "visitors," too, since it will be a
conversation piece in certain quarters -- I wish I could project it
on my wall and use a laser pointer...

Now, I have a question for you and Paul...

Of course, your recent "tours" are of the harmonic "mountaintops,"
almost like those hiking trails that go on top of mountains, with
picturesque summit views (!)

HOWEVER, is that the most dramatic way to hear the green pizza??

I was wondering if there was some logical (or otherwise) tour that
would travel around harmonic entropy space and which would not always
just hit the harmonic "high points."

Wouldn't that make a more "dramatic" impression when an area of low
entropy was reached??

Would there be any kind of reasonable path for such a tour??...
mixing the more dissonant areas in with the consonant areas, or would
such a sound file be too difficult to create??

Just wondering...

Joseph -- rather than a different tour (I think the tour is just fine), I
think a different pizza is more in order. Remember, the existing pizza is
based on adding the dyadic harmonic entropy values, but we all seem to
perceive that otonal geometric mean (which should correspond well with true
chordal harmonic entropy, yet to be calculated) corresponds better to our
perception of chordal concordance.

Very cool... SOUNDS like that will be an even more "striking" one...

You're reading my mind. A ride through the "valleys of death" might
be appropriate to the time of year, too. ;-> It would take some
time to develop, though, and would probably be harder to follow.
Jumping from chord to chord rather than sliding around would reduce
the work load of producing it. But I haven't even thought yet about
how to find the creek bottoms.

With a little trepidation, I'll ask for suggestions on a path.

David
