Cheesecake?

Tunors,

This may not be the GREAT BREAKTHROUGH everyone has been waiting for, but
has anyone else noticed the tv ad for Philly Cream Cheese, about a woman
whose fantasy comes true: to have cheesecake anytime she wants it, mornin',
noon and night?

The background music for it is done on a synth(s) *definately* not in
12TET. I wouldn't for a minute confuse it with any great theoretical
tuning setup (probably just a 'weird' tuning patch), but considering the
fact that the rest of the commercial isn't really *wacko* or anything, it
*is* pretty amazing they got it past the usual up-tight ad execs. Funny
stuff. A hundred bucks to the first listee who reports back with the name
of the jingle-meister, paid directly out of the burdgeoning coffers of the
C. Lucy Fund for Enlightened Intonationalists.

{as Letterman says, "It's a joke."}

Oh, why couldn't it have been about that *other* form of cheesecake...

Cheers,
Jon

The New Music New Haven series will present two of my microtonal works at
Sprague Hall (College Street, New Haven CT), admission gratis. For concert
information, call (203) 432-4158.

The works will be:
APRIL 3:
"Two Biblical Love Songs" for tenor, violin and piano
This concert may also be of interest for those of you in the gamelan-world,
since the guest composer/performer is Evan Ziporyn, who will be performing
a large work of his own for bass clarinet and tape.

APRIL 26:
"Alaap" for electric guitar

"Two Biblical Love Songs" will also be included at New Haven's Slifka
Center (Wall Street) on their Jewish Composers Series, April 29.
