Quasi only in the sense that he didn't spell it out. Wilson states that these other scale
layouts are all implied in his logic. It is interesting how one scale can be mapped over quite
a few different layouts. Those pictured are biased to Pelog being thought of as a chain of
Minor thirds (about 7/6) This layout makes the major scales found in this tuning harder to
play where as the others make it easier, The reason for this is that if one improvises on this
keyboard, it forces the player away from old territories and into newer ones. I hope to place
all the keyboards available for the 22 tone 1-3-7-9-11-15 Eikosany. These keyboard layout are
also usable for Erlich 22 Et also. Soon! I am in the process of finishing a "translation" of
an Anaphorian Shadow Play to be performed at next years Microfest

yes and no! As this 22 tone scale is found within the full Dallesandro full CPS of the
1-3-5-7-9-11, ( I know it doesn't seem like it would be but it is, in fact within Dallesandro
are two of these former Eikosanies a 3/2 a part), nd these two instruments were used together
at times the 22 is notated using the 31 tone notation for those notes. The idea of using two
different notations seem to be out right confusing.
