SEVENTEEN TONE PIANO PROJECT PHASE FOUR

Presenting Microtonal Songs

The Seventeen-Tone Piano Project began with tuning two acoustic pianos
in seventeen equal tones per octave and then playing music on them.
The project was created with the intention of encouraging (and at the
very least not discouraging) the writing of music in the 17-tet
system. There are no restrictions on eligibility; all sentient
creatures are invited. We will try to have as many concerts as
interest in the project can sustain.

Current phase: PHASE FOUR!
Phase Four, the current phase, consisted of a call for MICROTONAL
SONGS, vocal music in all kinds of non-12 tunings, and culminates with
two events: a sing-along session on April 30 and a concert on May 1, 2008.
