Structure and Art

Sorry for the heady subject line, but with all these lattices
and interesting pictures, I have a question.

Has anyone but me though that the cover to "Divisions of the
Tetrachord" would make a great, if somewhat severe, poster? Those
benighted souls who have not had the joy of handling this book can see
the diagram at http://www.ixpres.com/interval/chalmers/diagrams.htm
under "3. Red Triangular Graph."

Does Frog Peak make posters? :)

Hey, thanks for pointing this out... I think I'd seen the first
spindly one of these lattices before, but not the others - nice!

The higher prime ASCII lattices I use here at the tuning list are a
N/D*360 "tetrahedron" compromise of this idea, where all axis have the
denominator as a power of 2. Here's the two series, 10 - 20 and 14 -
28, "At a Day Job" tuning:

25/14

Well, you know that *I* like this idea!

Hmmm... maybe I should make a whole series of posters of my
lattice-diagrams... could be a way to make some money if the
poster shops at the beach would sell them....

Scribble on some annotations in Greek, and newage and occult
kids'll buy them by the bale.
