Just Intonation-Specific MailingList

Hi, everybody. After reading the excellent historical and
geographical overview of microtonality in the US by Brian McLaren:

http://w3.teaser.fr/~daschour/usa.html

..., I've decided to disband the little triple-just mailing list I
started and to start another specifically for just intonation in general
(as opposed to various equal-tempered non-12-tone scales, and non-just,
non-equal-tempered scales), since that's the area that I'm most
specifically interested in.

This will provide a smaller and more specific alternative to the
Mills College alternate tunings mailing list. I think the whole field
really suffers from a lack of publicity and public relations, and being
a publicity wonk myself, I definitely want to do something about that.
So I'll be publicizing this new mailing list on 8 usenet newsgroups, and
my publicity notices will also include links to the Mills College
alternate tunings mailing list page at the Just Intonation web site (for
those who aren't aware of it's existance), the introduction to just
intonation at the same web site, as well as Brian McLaren's article.

Hopefully, this will kill 3 birds with one stone, and be in the best
interests of everybody.

I also want to create a just intonation-specific web page with more
precise links to specific articles than there are at the Just Intonation
web page. As long as I'm going to be doing all this research for my own
use, I might as well create an archive of links to the best writings on
just intonation on the web while I'm at it. Please let me know by
private e-mail which articles on the web you think are the best
regarding just intonation. Thanks.

Bill Flavell
