Re: [tuning] Re: TD 861 -- Wilson's footprints on plateau! (for K raig Graidy)

Paul!
This is the precise arena he has working on over the last appox 8 years (things related to
Phi in both ways). Being so, he is not going to gpo public with anything until he has taken
it further along.
We have stuff going back to 1996 which he is holding onto for the moment. Just to give you an
idea of the backlog. Still there is so much to study in Scale tree itself that enough remains
untapped. I believe the acoustic interest him less in the fact they don't form horagrams with
the properties like dan sterns is interested. They do make MOS scales but what doesn't. He is
very tied up getting ready for his trip to mexico. I such times , it is hard to get him to
stop what he is doing , to back track 7 or 8 years. I myself have my own confusion in this
territory that prevents me from pulling one out of my hat. I will check if possible if there
is already one in existence up that we aren't seeing!

Paul !
thanks for reference! it sounds like it might be a gold mine! pardon the pun

Exactly. But, while you were away, Dave and Margo brought up the acoustic
noble means because they seem very often to be extremely close to the "most
dissonant" interval within a certain range. Dave and Margo have been
discussing ways of altering the fifths in a Gothic application of
Pythagorean tuning so that the thirds come out "maximally dissonant". Hence
an application of the acoustic noble means to scale generation.
