Hi Paul...

This is what I'm not getting. Why is the Utonal chord sounding like
4:5:6:7:9?? Is this what it's SUPPOSED to sound like?? And I take it
the chords are NOT supposed to be identical, as I surmised -- you
mention a 50 cents shift that I was not hearing...

And the "high pitch" that is the "fundamental" of the Utonal series, is
that the very tiny, extremely high tone in the first example?? That
reminds me of the John Cage tone "our own nervous system in
operation..."
