Re: tuning@onelist.com

All-
Nice to be back online with you tunesters. Here's my gossipy
holliday letter to the alternate tuning family-
Haverstick and I are beginning rehearsals today for my CD of
microtonal pop. The tunes cover many styles including ska, reggae, punk,
blues, country and jazz. I know this is a no-no from a marketing
standpoint, but I am on a limited budget and want to showcase only my
best work. We will play in 19, 31 and 34 TET. My stepson Randy is
learning the guitar building trade and I am having him make me a 31TET
bass. The Form CD got a pretty decent review in the local weekly
Westword, and the local jazz station has been playing Haverstick's Jazz
19 with a poetry overlay regularly, although they never mention that it
is out of tune. Maybe that is a good thing. I came across a Greek
internet radio station, and much of the music they played was with a
combination of 12TET backgrounds and obviously non 12 melodies. It works
pretty well, and I'll post the URL when I get back to work. Thanks, Mark
and whoever else started this forum.
