Tuning-List Related URLs

I resolved to (somehow) find the time to read the tuning list this week
in greater detail to search for evidence that my belief that it isn't
inspiring much actual music is incorrect. To make a more appropriate
assessment, I need to look in places other than the tuning-list messages
themselves.

Sooooo, I'd much appreciate hearing your suggestions for URLs for actual
music (MP3, or whatever) that you believe to be DIRECTLY a result of the
tuning list. Again, my concern is not that the tuning list is worthless
or anything like that, but just that it's not inspiring much actual
music, so what would prove that opinion wrong is web pages that involve
actual music, not just otherwise "cool" stuff.

Something of the nature of this recent message from Dan Stearns is the
sort of thing I'm looking for:

Hi Robert and Pat,

Here's the links again...

Linus Liu playing Bach in what he refers to as a "musically
sensible
intonation", or "how music is naturally sung":

<http://artists.mp3s.com/artist_song/885/885499.html>

Belgian French horn virtuoso Francis Orval performing Joseph
Pehrson's
"Harmonic Etude" in what could be described as how music is
naturally
sung by the horn:

<http://artists.mp3s.com/artist_song/585/585664.html>

Bradley Lehman's Dadaesque clavichord deconstruction of Bach's
second
fugue from the Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1 performed in a
well-temperament similar to Werckmeister III:

Thanks.

The Tuning Punks

would be a good place to start. I see you're in there!

Yessindeedie.

That's a good suggestion. I'm not confident that that all qualifies as directly inspired by the
tuning list, but I'll probably count it as such to be benevolent.

Well, the MAJORITY of composers on _The Tuning Punks_ have been
active participants on THIS list, so I'm sure the list has influenced
there thinking and writing.

In addition, there have been MANY audio-visual associations to this
list, mostly provided by Joe Monzo. It's a good reason for reading
the list on the Web, if it's practical for you...

Hmmm... On this page I see an Excel spreadsheet, and an ill-formed URL of an apparent MIDI file:
"http://......./ALifeIn10Voices.mid". Am I supposed to fill something in in place of the
"......."?

Does the Excel spreadsheet play "actual music" like I was asking about? I'll have to poke around
to see if I still have my ancient copy of Megalomaniacsoft Excel somewhere.

Yes, it does . . . and it's "interactive" . . . unfortunately, this
new version has had problems on both machines I've tried it on. We've
asked Dave Keenan to restore the older version, which worked
fine . . .

Both versions work on my machines.
