Oh yeah! In Haverspeak, "What a hoot. Killer!" I love it. I must say,
this here is the list for me. Music music music. Oh, did I mention
music?

Again, a very interesting file from Jacky Ligon. I'm not quite
certain though, given what I have heard of Jacky's other music, that
this extract is not a parody of "Branch Dividian" music...

Can you illuminate your intentions here, Jacky... I detect a bit of
the sardonic.

However, the example made me feel right at home, since this was the
kind of sound that I was "taught to appreciate" in music school....

But, in *those* pieces, the timbres weren't as interesting!

Have to admit that that crucifiction was positively mild compared to
what we've seen since! (Post lists of large prime numbers here
and you'll have your head handed you on a platter).

Not everyone tries every scale that is posted. I've tried Dan
Stearns, since he seemed to be pursuing a similar thread to one
I'd been chasing. I tried 34 and 29, somehow bumping into them
via some of Margos posts. I recently was swimming around in
7 and 14 tet after a post on this list managed to reach out of
the screen and shake a fist in my face.

You can't take lack of response personally (any more than you
should take an over-enthusiastic-whether-positive-or-negative
response).
