dear folks,

i am a graduate student in music composition at mills college and will be
presenting some of my music here next week. i work either implicitly or
explicitly in just - or extended-just intonation so this music is directly

pauline oliveros' composition seminar class recital, showcaseing
work by 10-15 graduate students (both electronic & acoustic

all the strange 3rds and 5ths, just start adding new intervals in
remote keys.

That's how we end up with 43 and 49 note scales (for example).
