Re: [tuning] MIRACLE collaboration (was: Hypothesis, and clarification for Monz)

Alison!
I have seen people use PVC or ABS tuning for such effect. One then just uses a resonator formula.
For mallets one can use ping pong table mallets with a little bit of foam added. Although Keenan 21
MOS provides more than enough material for a lifetime. You would be venturing down the 72 ET path
which means that you could always add on to it investigate other things possible in 72. Still to be
discovered, maybe even by Dave!

Yes -- if he ever gets around to investigating the multiple-chain
case!

Seriously, another great advantage of 72-tET is that you can use 6 12-
tET instruments . . . like Tenney did.

Ummm, I know I'm still behind, but I just wanted to say that, as
*practical* composerly advice this ranks high in my book...

I think now this is what I want to do for a while...

This is not AT ALL a minor point.

I wonder how many instruments can be ACCURATELY adjusted BEFORE
playing... slides, embouchure, etc. to one of the 6 "inflections..."

This way, one wouldn't even have to use "alternate" fingerings. It
might make for a certain "disjunct" music... but in other cases might
be workable.

Of course, in the Tenney case, using harps it all blends together.

Maybe Reinhard knows about the embouchure adjustments?? Can
woodwinds EASILY be adjusted before playing to the 6 inflections of
72-tEt... Johnny??
