Hi

I haven't done much microtuning for a while or read this group, but I
thought I would drop by and say howdy.

I have been busy adjusting to academic life at the New Mexico
Institute of Mining and Technology, which we just call Tech. It is a
pretty good science and engineering school, but the town of Socorro is
tiny (~8000 including the school). It is quite a change from Denver.

The head of the math department is quite knowledgeable about
microtonal music, so we can at least talk about it, but to my
knowledge there are no other microtonalists in town.

I have done some updating to my site at
http://www.nmt.edu/~jstarret/microtone.html but I have not gone
through the whole microtonalist list for quite a while to cut out the
dead links and update those that I could find.

I see there are some names here that I don't recognize, so I extend an
invitation to you to send me your URL so that I can include you in my
list of mictotonalists. If you have links to your music in any format,
I would like to link to it also.

You should contact me at jstarret@..., but remove
yourpants first.

Anyway, I am glad you are still at it, and once things settle down, I
hope to start working on some new stuff. I have two new pop tunes in
19tet, but no one to record them with, so I have to work on my guitar
chops a little.

***Hello John!

Nice to hear from you. Incidentally, what did you do with all the
mp3's that were once "Tuning Punks?"

I would suggest that you consider hosting them again on SoundClick.

It has a pretty nice interface and has been getting some respectable
traffic of late...

best,

BTW... Does anybody else missing having the Tuning Punks archive on
the Web as I do??
