Think me mad�but I�ll gladly choose the shimmering �beats� of a sustained
choir (of voices, strings, brass, or winds�) intoning a 12 : 4 : 7 : 10 : 14
: 17 : 21 : [22] : 25 : 27 of 12 EDO* over the pellucid �pulses� of the same
(choir of voices, strings, brass, or winds) intoning a 4 : 5 : 6 : 7 : 9 :
11 : 13 : 15 : 17 : 19 of the harmonic series.

Respectfully
D�Stearns

* As far as acronyms go� (E)quidistant (D)ivision of the (O)ctave�s� EDO, is
certainly seems to me a rather colorless creation (immanently indisposed as
it is to the oddly resonant charm of (T)one (E)qual (T)emperament�s�TET),
but I do believe it 'better says' what (I believe) 'needs saying'� and as
such I feel somewhat obligated to continue to pretend I like it (and
apologize for saying so).
