Schneider, Hanson

Somebody mentioned John Schneider...yes, he is a wonderful musician
with a lot of depth, and a direction of his own. We have had him at
Microstock twice, and I really enjoy his music and concept. He is
presently getting ready to record a new CD (I forgot what material), and
I know Ben Johnston is currently writing him a piece. And, dare I say it,
John requested that I write down my acoustic version of "The Spider" (19
equal), and he said he was going to build a 19 tone fingerboard and learn
it...a real honor for me, and unusual in that John only plays in pure
tunings...hope it happens.
Also, I forgot to mention that all of my 34 tone guitars were either
sent to me, or financed, by the late Larry Hanson. The 34 electrics were
built in Los Angeles, and the 34 acoustics were built here in Denver by
Starrett, from grants provided by Larry. He truly put his money where his
mouth is, and I am very grateful for the chance to know him...Hstick

Well, I use a lot of instruments. Some of these are mine, others belong to
the center or are on loan to me or the center. I and feel a little awkward
taking up so much space on this forum with a list of them, since there is a
big section of the SEJIC web site devoted to them. But I'll give it a start:

1. Paia Theremax thermin (all pitches and tunings)

2. Cosmolyra - originally built by Ivor Darreg, restored by Buzz Kimball and
then put into it's final form by me:

Side 1: Harmonic Series 4-16 on G=384 cps.
Side 2: Subharmonic Series 3-12
Side 3: - Otonality hexad: 4/5/6/7/9/11
- Utonality Hexad: 4/5/6/7/9/11
- 6 unisons for chorused melody
Side 4: Harmonics 1 (tripled), 2,3,4 (doubled)

3. Starrboard- Strings tuned to harmonics 2-18 and subharmonics 1-12. Fretts
remain in equal temperament, so modulation is limited to factors of 3 and 2.

4. Electric diamond marimba -built by Jeff Bunting - same layout as Harry
Partch's, but made of steel bars with magnetic pickups under each.

5. Bass Marimba - Harmonics 2-10 with added 9/32 and 27/64

6. Wood Xylophones - One is harmonic series 16-32 on C, repeated in 4.5
dupeles. the other is Subharmonics on G and C with harmonics on A, Eb, Ab and F.

7. Hammerstrings - Harmonics 2-18 on C=256, subharmonics 1-12 in high
register, Subharmonics 1- 19 in low register.

8. Orchestral Chimes - harmonics 3-16 on C. Subharmonics, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, 11, with duple (higher) equivelents of 7, 9, 11.

9. Tubular Bells - Harmonics 4-24, Subharmonics 2-12.

10. Fretless electric guitar.

11. Guitar refretted to harmonic series 24-48 (Lots of modes and keys
available).

12. Set of Fipple Pipes and custom recorders to play Entire 17 limit matrix.

13. Arp 2500 analog synthesizer.

14. Ensoniq Mirage - with tuneable operating system.

15. 2 TX81Z's, Kawaii K5, Proteus/2, controlle with Oberheim XK MIDI
controller and Casio Digital Horn controller. Tuned and sequenced by means
of two PC,s running Microtonal MIDI terminal and various other programs.

16. Two Mbiras.

17. Various Effects devices.

18. All sorts of Drums and Percussion stuff.

All this stuff is available for use by guests and residents at the Southeast
Just Intonation Center.
