Hello! I came across something the other night that I thought I could
tell everyone about. Has anyone seen the Japanese movie, "Woman in the
Dunes" (Suna No Onna) by Hiroshi Teshigahara (1964)? The music is by
Tohru Takemitsu, and I believe it to be non-12--lots of sweeping, eerie
strings, etc. It's an absolutely beautiful movie, too. I couldn't
recommend it more.

I'm relatively new this list, and I find myself struggling to understand
the complexities of microtonality and the terminology you all use (I
don't have hardly any formal music training), but I always glean
something from the posts. Thanks!
