The album 'Subversio' came out today. You can preview it (all 9 tracks are online now) at: http://soundcloud.com/ism-studio/sets/va-subversio-forthcoming-on/

The release is digital only - Amazon has it, so do a few other places (maybe iTunes too?)

May I just say that Jacky Ligon has gone absolutely deep and Tony Dubshot's "Roof Garden" is exactly the xenharmonic music I want to hear.

Those of you on the Windows platform can expect to see an update for the Xenharmonic FMTS synthesizer (1.1) within the next few days. It introduces some clever new tricks, improves sound quality of the oscillators, and works much better with DAW automation. Release info: http://www.dubbhism.com/2011/12/out-now-va-subversio-dubbhism-deluxe.html

Thanx,

Sevish

This explains a good deal. At least, to moi.

After this summer, I have been forced to confront my own personal
limitations -- and this fall, my artistic limitations as well. Thanks
for this revelation.

I find I am too conservative, and apparently far too infected by the
beauties of diatonicism (by the which I mean, scales of 5-9 pitches
constructed of various-sized tones, neutral tones and semitones) to
create "xenharmonic" music of any meaningful or lasting value; though I
would hope we all got at least a chuckle out of my attempts! XD

I see no reason to further abuse the hospitality of others, and I am
bereft of anything to contribute. I am finishing a few incomplete works,
emptying my files & posting all I find there to the dustbin of last
resort (the Internet Archives) and will then neither write nor post any
new music.

I have learned a lot here, for the which I am grateful to all; and I
wish the best successes to all in return.

I always found you have a unique musical voice, going back all thee years.

The world is full of music that never uses more than this many pitches.
I don't think just because such sets are comprehensible that they are
'diatonic'. I don't think it is conservative either. It seems there is
as much conservatism in those who use large number of tones.

With all the talk of modulation and many pitched scales, we might notice
how little through the years have we heard people use a large palette of
tones much less anyone bother to modulate which is so often the basics
of the theory

In my youth it was those that used the most radical of material that
drew me, now it is less with the material than how it is used.

I started working with 36 tones ,went to 22, to 12 , and now looking
at finishing a set of nine tone instruments.

The act of doing music in general is always in a state of being
proclaimed useless or lacking meaning, and while we can feel such
things, i wouldn't succumb to such forces. It is at the end of a horse
race than the horses break loose.

I have enjoyed what you have done for years. i suggest you continue.

I don't think this type of music making is a good idea. making it on
machines and posting to other incorporeal brains elsewhere to listen
through little commuter speakers. It becomes music that has no meaning
beyond 'like' or 'dislike'.

Music used to involve local people getting together and making noise
per se. perhaps if it is really to remain meaningful beyond just trying
to impress others, we might have to go back to that conservative method
of making music.
