Example for Mike.

Choose any interval between 0 and 1200cents (I usually stay between 600
and 720cents). Let's choose 672cents. Now this interval is stacked so
that it lines up with the cycle of 5ths. Thus C=0, G=672, D=144, A=816,
E=288, B=960, F#=432, C#=1104, Ab=576, Eb=48, Bb=720, and F=192. Or it
can be lined up with the acsending chromatic scale as C=0, C#=672,
D=144, Eb=816, E=288, F=960, F#=432, G=1104, Ab=576, A=48, Bb=720 and
B=192. Or if you are more adventurous there are 30 more 12-note rows
which I have supplied in a previous posting. For example No31 would be
C=0, C#=672, G=144, Ab=816, D=288, Eb=960, A=432, E=1104, Bb=576, B=48,
F=720 and F#=192. Kurzweils (and similar) can handle tunings like
these. Simply play standard midi files (eg classical piano pieces) and
change the timbre or instrumentation if desired. If you have software
with a juke-box feature then you can let it play on for hours. "The
Pianist" from PG Music Inc. has 800+ classical piano pieces with a juke-
box feature and midi out so that the sound device(Kurzweil) can play
microtonal music all day long. Band-in-a-Box has more than one juke-box
feature so it comes into consideration. There is more info at
MicroMadeEasy@yahoogroups.com

It's kind of funny that you think this is revolutionary and/or subversive to
some imaginary establishment. :)

Erv Wilson's Moments of Symmetry, IMO, is a good place to start exploring
"stacked-interval" scales.
