Hi there!

My name is Andrew Heathwaite, and I've been studying
microtonality/xenharmony on the internet for several months. I've recently
recorded a few very short keyboard improvisations in some equal
temperaments, and I'd like to share them with this list. They represent my
first creative experiments with xenharmony, and I think they came out pretty
ok. If anyone has comments/critiques, I'd be interested in hearing them.
There are only three pieces on the site right now, but I will add more as
they come. I've been very moved by the sounds and possibilities of
alternate tunings, and I plan to continue working with them. Thanks in
advance for listening.

-Andrew

Great work, Andrew!! Those are some really nifty timbres. And
by using 10, 11, and 13-tET, you're actually being quite pertinent
to a theoretical discussion we're having right now on the tuning
list.

Andrew,

Your stuff was very interesting...in particular I liked the 11-tet against
13-tet piece, but wanted it to be longer.

Keep it coming!

Best,
Aaron.

P.S. --- BTW, I love math, but agree that the emphasis should be more on sound
and music over in the normal tuning list.
