Dear Ralph,
 
I've always liked knowing you and following your musical work.  I'm sorry to hear that your "time and health and energy are slipping from your hands".  I hope that what you're refering to is just normal aging or something like it, but I worry that you may be implying something
more dire.  Please fill me in.  If you are ill or injured please let me know - I care about you.
 
-- Sincerely,
 
Mark Rankin

I tried to spill out as much of the results of my years of work in sound synthesis, effects of shifts in pitch of different sizes, etc.  I found to my disappointment that chords with notes having wavelengths integral multiples of an "overfundamental" didn't seem to have the focussed pschological effect that "otonal" chords had, so I've left all but the minor chords out because they might turn off more people than they attracted and seemed to me to warrant being kept apart from the core system. The simple minor chords could actually be thought of as having note frequencies multiples of 3, 5, and 15 (A-flat, C, E-flat  a minor chord but with frequencies integral multiples of

(((1, 8*1))) = implied; 5, 2*5; 3, 4*3; and 15)

and they have a powerful psychological effect, so I included them.

Notes with frequencies proportional to 13 - "Saturns" probably should be in there, but I had difficulty in my own mind getting a solid feel for their place in chords and harmony, and I've deferred them to when I could really honestly grapple with them, so others will need to deal with them I think, as my time and health and energy are slipping from my hands.

I hope I've contributed something that at least someone will find of interest and offering at least some item they can "sink their teeth into".

Best wishes,   Ralph David Hill

I wasn't aware of his work, but I should have been. Check this out!

Dear Ralph,
 
I tried to send you an e-mail a few minutes ago but it didn't seem to work right, so I have added the ascend11 at aol dot com and tried again - I hope it works.
