Hi Kraig,

Yes...I've used Centaur more than once--nice tuning, and has also some useable
tempered sounding triads to boot (like the A major triad).

When I want to get more non-western, I like what you've done with the CPS
scales....for instance what did you use for that spacious beat-filled
textural drone-like mp3 sample from your new album?

By 'tuning hexanies opposite' I assume you mean 1-3-5-7, and 1-1/3-1/5-1/7 and
octave normalized, no?

And by 'seperated by 1-3' you mean 'a perfect fifth apart', correct?

I'm finding myself attracted to active, beating textures that I coud use to
slowly morph--you know, drone like things. Harmonics 12 thru 24 works, but I
want to keep exploring other options for the standard keyboard before giving
up and building stuff....

Best,
Aaron.

I agree with Kraig, but why is this posted of his deleted from the
archives?

No, Kraig means as far apart as possible from one another in the
eikosany -- I'll let him explain, though I've found I can sometimes
help people understand this stuff.
