Hi,

Wow, there are even some new people here, which helps me in thinking I
am not repeating my invitation needlessly.

In a nutshell, there's a website, at
<http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com>, that needs help in being built
into a robust website of exciting departures from and additions to
what is talked about as "microtonal music". The website is in the form
of a wiki, which allows for collaborative creation of content.

If you want to contribute, obtain a wikispaces account (don't even
need an email I believe) and be sure to click "Join this space" at
some point so we'll know you're there.

What's new? I made a FAQ-like page here:
<http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/Ask+Questions> and I asked some
questions and maybe some of you would like to ask or answer some
questions. That's an invitation.

Here's an additional line of thought I just thought of today.

How does microtonal music fit into your happiness? To what degree does
microtonality make you excited to be alive?

Is it so easy to turn this creative, often status-quo-challenging
habit of ours into its own micro-status-quo?

I'm going to assume everybody is being boring right now because they
are too busy with sad-making timesucking boring jobs. (I have one
too, now! packing packages into trucks...)

I have yet to see a poem about microtonality. Do any poets care? Are
too compartmentalized to be poets?

(Disclaimer: This critical line of thought is made in full
appreciation of all the wonderful things that Are happening; it does
not dwell on complaining but points to additions not yet made. Also,
sorry if I'm talking funny, it's the darn school for designing a society.)
