Exomusicology

Hi All,

I've (finally) finished putting together the pieces for my new (all
microtonal) CD... it's called EXOMUSICOLOGY, and you can hear pieces
of it at my website at:

http://eceserv0.ece.wisc.edu/~sethares/exo.html

I've placed up mp3's of (a remix of) "Sympathetic Metaphor" (in
19-tet) and "Local Anomaly" (which you may have also heard earlier on
the MMM website.) In addition, there's "Immanent Sphere" and "When
Everything was Simultaneous", both of which are in adaptive tunings,
one kind of tame and one kind of wild.

The CD contains several more pieces... which are also described at the
website. If youre wondering what "exomusicology" means, you can easily
find out. Also, you might be interested in the "impossible
instruments"
drawn by Pam H... very cool.

i'm very much looking forward to this CD. you've done some very
intriguing synthetic music work lately, and i hope this latest effort
makes ripples in the synth, tuning, and wider music communities.

***Man, I hate complainers, but I sure wish, as a fan of Bill's work,
that these files were *streaming.* There really isn't enough time to
download all of them.

I also, to continue this unnecessary and unjustifiable gripe, didn't
see any immediate notice as to how to purchase the CD. I would
assume it would be by contacting Bill, but I didn't see any advice to
do so... unless I'm missing something...

I suppose I could have put up fewer pieces, then you'd have time to
download them all :)

Thanks for this opening, Joe ... yes - you can get it by contacting
me. Alternatively, it's available on Amazon (search for exomusicology
) and also at half.com (though for some weird reason you have to
search under "all categories", "music" doesn't seem to work.)
