It looks like I'll be working at SJSU, home of the Partch Archive, the Harrison Archive, and CREAM. Does anyone know if there are any microtonal theory types hanging out in the vicinity?

Alan Strange, who just retired from the Music Dept, should still be
in the vicinity, and he's been a member of this list for a long time.
Alas, what is called "the Partch Archive" is a complete misnomer:
they have a set of facsimile scores, and maybe some recordings.
The 'public' holdings that would constitute the largest archival
collection are at University of Illinois, followed by a smaller
collection at UCSD. And most all of the original source scores,
papers, and almost all of his original tape archives (i.e., what
Harry still had with him when he died) are here in San Diego, with
the exception of materials used to produce the "Enclosures" series.

Hope to see you in Feb, Gene!

Cheers,
Jon
