Exomusicology

Hi All,

I've (finally) finished putting together the pieces for my new (all
microtonal) CD... it's called EXOMUSICOLOGY, and you can hear pieces of it at
my website at:

http://eceserv0.ece.wisc.edu/~sethares/exo.html

I've placed up mp3's of (a remix of) "Sympathetic Metaphor" (in 19-tet)
and "Local Anomaly" (which you may have also heard earlier on the MMM
website.) In addition, there's "Immanent Sphere" and
"When Everything was Simultaneous", both of which are
in adaptive tunings, one kind of tame and one kind of wild.

The CD contains several more pieces... which are also described at the
website. If youre wondering what "exomusicology" means, you can easily find out.
Also, you might be interested in the "impossible instruments"
drawn by Pam H... very cool.

ps - I owe those of you who entered my "name that tune contest"
a copy of the CD. You know who you are: paulerlich, Kalle,
John Starrett, Jon Szanto, X. J. Scott, and Kris Peck.
If you folks send me a (postal) address, I'll get it to you.

Thanks Jon, I'm of course very happy to talk about the music, the tunings,
the techniques, etc. Ask away.

As for how to get it, that one is easy - you can get it from Amazon.com
(search for "exomusicology") or from Half.com (search for "exomusicology"
and make sure that you're searching "all categories" - for some reason
it doesnt seem to think exomusicology is "music").
Or of course, direct from me will also work....
