Indian Music/Film

About what I said...

I meant to add that Indian classical music has a better future ,as in
getting better and with the preservation and expansion of it's
xenharmonicism,outside India where there is a much healthier
intellectual/artistic climate.

That post about Zakir Hussein (there's someone who can bang a can !) and
Terry Riley's workshops in California are a case in point.

Later,

>Take a look at "Tuning the Historical Temperaments by Ear" by Owen Jorgensen

Ah, good of you to mention that one.

I personally am aware of the book, and have not read it. I get the
impression however that it's mostly about 12-toned well temperaments. That
as opposed to talking about the earlier (e.g., JI) tunings, or the more
recent unusual tunings, like 31TET or quartertones.

Is that true?
