Atlas of Tonespace

In a effort to help people zoom out from fractions and see the wood rather than the trees I have recently put up an online "Atlas of Tonespace" which uses a visual mapping of fraction webs. I hope tuning members will find it enjoyable as well as useful. You can see it on www.ii4i.net and click on the Atlas banner.

There are a lot of Flash animations so be prepared for a short (I hope) wait.

I don't see an Atlas banner. But the page looks interesting? I wonder
if your atlas will end up looking anything like these:

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your effort in creating this. I'm only glancing in haste
at the tuning lists these days, and have resisted the temptation to
post responses to what I'm seeing, because I'm extremely busy right
now. But please allow me to respectfully offer one big piece of
constructive criticism:

I think it's really unfortunate that you're using Ben Johnston's
notational system. For an alternative that many of us here on
the tuning lists prefer, please see my definition of "HEWM" notation:
http://www.ixpres.com/interval/dict/hewm.htm

You'd probably also be very interested in my definition of
lattice diagrams:
http://www.ixpres.com/interval/dict/lattice.htm

and my own main page about my lattices:

love / peace / harmony ...

Well, a lot of the stuff on:

http://monxmood.free.fr/

is quite cool...

It would be great if you could incorporate specifically *microtonal*
instruments on the pages, too... and perhaps instruments like the
Bosanquet keyboard, etc... and maybe some Wilson things.

Maybe on some auxiliary pages?? That would really expand the concept
and be very valuable, at least to some of us "visionaries"
(Or "wackos" depending on the mood...)
