Hexany article, etc.

I was afraid someone would ask what Musicworks 60 is, and I'd have to
explain. But no problem, really. No. 60 is simply issue no. 60. Musicworks
is a long-established, internationally known avant-garde music magazine
published at

179 Richmond Street West
Toronto Ontario Canada M5V 1V3

ph. 416 977 3546
fax 416 204 1084

e-mail: sound@musicworks.web.net

They're up to almost no. 70 by now. Each issue comes with a CD. I'm
quite fond of this production and have almost all the issues going back
many years. It occasionally deals with tuning matters.

Musicworks 60 has the article of mine about the stellated hexany. The
accompanying CD has a 4-minute piece in that tuning for soprano, choir,
and synthesizer, plus many other pieces not by me and not microtonal.

Musicworks 61 has an article of mine about 25-note ET. The accompanying CD
for that has a short piece in that tuning for guitar sound, plus other
things etc.

Prices:

Musicworks 60 $ 5
Musicworks 60 CD $10

Musicworks 61 $ 5
Musicworks 61 CD $10

Add $2 for mailing regardless of what you order. All above prices are
U.S.$. The prices are different to Canadian addresses.

Hope this is of some interest.

I mentioned to Paul Erlich, and he encouraged me to post, this observation
on his "blues scale" in 22TET:
>
>22TET cents
>
>0 0
>6 327
>9 491
>10 545
>13 709
>19 1036
>
>In just intonation, it would be
>
>Ratio cents
>
>1/1 0
>6/5 316
>4/3 498
>27/20 520
>3/2 702
>9/5 1018
>
Functionally, it may make sense to Paul to interpret the 22TET intervals as
he has done above. However, I definitely hear the 10 step interval as being
much more like an 11/8 (551 cents) than a 27/20. The 11/8 can have a
beautiful blue-note quality, which I myself have exploited on occassion.
The 19 step interval is almost dead-on a 20/11 (1035 cents), whose
inversion, by the way, is a 5/4 down from the 11/8.
