Animal Kingdom

Well, all this talk about animal noises....

I have mentioned that our family had a microtonal parrot, and I have
woundered about the way in whih talking and voice mimiking birds copy tones.

I saw an interesting website, and I believe it can be found with a search
engine looking for:

AESTHETICS AND THE PRIME NUMBER SEQUENCE

....and this gives us some interesting information about insects fooling
their prey with prime number noise.

Still, makes you wounder about making music with sucessive ratios of prime
numbers, dosen't it?

In the newjustintonation list you mentioned this idea [you were making some
suggestions for Jacky re. his prime/prime scales] i.e chords with constant
difference tones in this case the 6.

You mentioned that Novarro liked chords such as these. I didn't know who Novarro
was at that time
so I played around with this idea and made some diamonds with this approach.
Then I found out that Novarro independently invented the diamond ! Then I
decided I woud make a constant structure based on these diamonds.

I had a look in the archives and saw that there was some discussion of exactly
this. A constant structure made from a Novarro diamond that you posted.

However the archives don't seem to go back as far as when you posted the scale.

Would you be able to post it again ?

I'm currently studying the way that the eikosany and diamond overlap &
intersect. Facinating stuff !

Although the diamond might go back to versions of the Lambdoma into antiquity, diamonds based on
the above i would imagine would be unexplored for the most part. What did you come up with? :)

I had just suggested to Erv yesterday, that we put up some of Novaro's work up on his archives. He
agreed and so I will put it up for you and all to see shortly.

BTW There are 2 Augusto Novaro Books, one which was discovered by accident by Mark Rankin who went
to the Library of Congress and asked for one and was given the second. They both share the same
Library of Congress Call number # ML 3805 N69

One is called
Sistema Natural base del Natural- Aproximado. 1927

The other
Sistema Natural De La Musica. 1951

Both in Spanish but the language of Ratios explains quite a bit.

yes to have two diamonds distanced on opposite tones of an eikosany forming an eikosany has always
appealed to me. But maybe you had something else in mind

P.S. Erv also is having me put up a scale included in what was mailed to you.
