Hey kids,

All this chat about 7et & such has set me to re-thinking seriously about
their
use as foundation material for composition, just for fun. I'm a huge fan
of
various JIs (as you know) but I'm of a mind to try something new to me.

The only other minimal-number ET (I really don't have the technical
knowledge
to describe them properly) I've worked with is 11et as in the "Xenophon"
pieces;
so I'll be starting from scratch with 7, 8, 9 & 10et, trying out melodic
themes
& chord progressions. I'll use Orion Pro at first, as electronic timbres
seem to
soften up a harsher chord combination somewhat...

Keep you notified,
jls
