Comma Pop? I think yes... and more!

Of course, most on this list understand that my philosophy of microtonal
music is cross-cultural based. From this yardstick, _all_ music is
considered microtonal, past and present. Understandably, not everyone is
as catholic in their take on the intonational pie.

As far as microtones in pop being out of tune, or irregular, or accidents,
I think this condition exists quite rarely if at all. The days of
microtones being "out-of-tune" notes I thought had passed.

Question: if when looking on to a valley on a beautiful day, a hawk
swerves into view through a rich blue sky, is that art?

Answer: if you perceive it as art, it is art.

I thought
1) Comma Pop? I think not... and more!
by "Jonathan M. Szanto"
deserved to be included in its entirety in my last message.
Actually, while Jonathan's comments are worthwhile, I'm getting used to a
new mail program and included TUNING digest 1197 entirely by accident.
Very sorry about that.
