where is Carl Sagan

Haverstick here...Paul Hahn; in reference to your quip regarding Sagan's
statement about one's birth, and the admonition to not get too
"mystical"; Sagan is a dead mofo now, and the gravitational force of the
Angel of Death was enough to kick his butt into those "mystical" regions
which you warned me to be so careful of...Hstick

I would be very interested to know, as I've never heard of such a piece.
The only microtonal pieces of his that I've seen are short choral pieces in
his book _Ancient Music Restored to Modern Practice_ (there are a couple of
translations to English available).

He did build a 31-tone per octave harpsichord and portativ organ, but I
never heard of fretting viols this way. It certainly would be interesting
to know.

I have an article about his tuning available on-line at:
