Here it goes, and I'll say right offhand that I have no idea if it
will turn out to be musically useful.

Serial techniques seem reasonable to me for small numbers of pitches
and I've done some "stuff" in 12 using such techniques. When doing
so I used rows that are called "all interval rows" which by the nature
of the 12-tone method are also "all note" rows.

As an example of something I've done in 12, (note I am primarilly a
jazz improvisor) I created a set of chord changes which hit all keys
via all modulations using an all-interval series to describe the key
centers.

Looking at this for 31, (as a fledgling 31et guitarist) seemed to be
pointless, I don't want to work with all 31 notes at once, let alone
all 31 keys if I were to pursue an excercise like the above. So the
realisation that a small number of notes could still describe all the
intervals of the system seemed interesting, I could repeat the above
mentioned excercise in 31 with the helpful property of only dealing
with 6 keys at a time.

Yes, this is very much the opposite end of things than a scale but
who knows, maybe theres a tune there as well.

thanks for everyones help,

Bob
