Grand opening is now in order

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/2/funwithxenharmonicitymusic.htm

...because there are now a graaaaand total of three songs up now.

Introduction/Rationale: At the moment, I have 88 tunings of all types which I have
tried on my Proteus/1 XR, all of which I think are worth attention. There are very few
pieces of music in these tunings, and even less on the internet, and therefore I shall
have to go about fixing this. I find improvisation good as a source for ideas but
generally settle on more carefully crafted things. For this reason foum is still my
favorite of those on the site.

Enjoy and look for more soon,
Jacob

Holy shit! Where on Earth did you get the idea that music should be so much fun!!! I love that "foum" was short and right in-your-face, and pleasepleaseplease tell me that wasn't a live, real-time improvisation?!

Totally swell, great addition to the canon, I'm going to snag the other two as well. Time for me to set up a SoundClick page for MMM, I think...

Cheers,
Jon

I thought foum in particular was totally cool. I hope you have your
answer ready in case someone claims it is just out-of-tune 12 equal,
and not 19-et at all.

Wow! Jacob who, may I ask?

By the way, though 4.8.8 was probably my least favorite track,
I'm interested in how you came up with the name.

I really liked both foum and the organ piece. Tremendously
cool!!

Don't I wish!

I usually just pop the big question, "Well what is in tune and what
is out of tune?" and they shut up because they know even less than I do about it.

It was, er, a mistyping of the date, 4.8.4 (my birthday), which was
when I did it.

Cheese,

Happy Birthday! I'm 4.8 as well (though I was born in '77, not '04 ;).
