important Forum CD update

Closer and closer...the liner notes/CD design info are now at the
printer...good news. But, a small glitch...the disc containing liner
notes from Sethares and Loffink did not work, so we could not get them on
Marty's computer...guys, if you would send your liners directly to Marty
Lambuth at visims@aol.com, we're ready to finish the project and get it
to the CD manufacturer...thanks for your patience, and again, this disc
is unique and satisfying...
Also, Jim Ratts is finishing the master DAT over the weekend...Jim
has a very interesting project available, called "Those Fabulous '60's;"
it's a cassette which takes you on a musical trip through the
music/politics of the 1960's with snippets of hundreds of songs and
sounds, including the voice of Richard Nixon in some very embarrasing
moments. It loosely reminds me of the Firesign Theater in it's skewed
humor. It took Jim about 200 hours of tape editing to assemble this
project, and it's one of my favorite tapes to listen to. It's yours for
the cost of a blank cassette and postage...if you're interested, contact
Jim at sratts@compuserve.com It received a great review in the Gavin
report recently, and is a real hoot...there it is, hope to have the CD
out soon...Hstick

A week or two ago I described my experience with the Hill/Ellis JI
keyboard tuning when used for Pachelbel's Canon in D. I noted two places
where there was a striking "out-of-tune" sensation: the E over the
B-minor chord, and the B over the A-major chord. Note that there is one
other place where the "wolf" B-E occurs in the piece: the E over the
G-major chord. However, this didn't strike me as that dissonant, so I
left it out, though I was aware that it contained the wolf. This G-B-D-E
sonority is almost identical to the one that Margo and Dave have been
discussing, making me wish I had pointed it out earlier instead of just
implying it by omission from the list of horrible clashes in the JI
version of the piece. Anyway, I'm just registering my agreement that the
sonority is not that horrible and has a certain character that could be
musically useful.
