Joe!
I don't agree with the following. for instance yo can have a 8-9-10-11
tetrad and completely "know what the tonic is. The nearest comparison in
12et c-d-e-f or c-d-e-f# ones ear is completely confused as to what is
meant.
It would be possible to do ligeti like clusters and still have an
unambiguous tonic. In fact it wouold be interesting to hear clusters in the
same range that modulated through a cycle of fifths.
