3rd Newband CD released

If the following URL is to be believed:

http://www.musicandarts.com/DigitalClassical.html

the long-awaited 3rd Newband CD has finally been released (on a new label).
According to the above URL the new CD is entitled "Dance of the Seven Veils"
and contains the following cuts:

Harry Partch: Castor and Pollux (1952)
Anne LeBaron: Southern Ephemera (1993)
Elizabeth Brown: Archipelago (1990/92)
Dean Drummond: Dance of the Seven Veils (1992)

Please see the URL for ordering details. I do not know if this CD is available
in stores.

For those of you who thought I fell off the face of the Earth: close, but no
cigar. I've just been real busy over the last year and have been in readonly
mode (sometimes skim-only mode) on this list. I shall try to rectify that in
the future.

Speaking of CDs, whatever happened to "19 for the 90s"?

John

The node of a vibrating string and the edge of a fret
effectively resolve to points, no matter the width
of the finger used to dampen the string or the
thickness of the fret. Are you saying that these
points always coincide?

You're missing the contradiction. You said all
ghosttones follow a series of fourths and fifths.
An octave doesn't occur in such a series. Please
explain this contradiction.

So you're saying that these first few important
ghosttones are rational intervals (2.000, 4.000, etc.)?

Will you describe this procedure?
