Apropos of tuning, I'm not sure (though I've seen this discussed here
before)... but I heard a great example of that 'mysterious minor
sound', in the Werner Herzog movie "Aguirre Wrath of God", soundtrack
by Popol Vuh, in the nice landscape shot of water gushing over
boulders (near the beginning), 3 plane minor triads: a4-c5-e5, e4-g4-
b4, d4-f4-a4; a4-c5-e5, e4-g4-b4, d4-f4-a4....And other progressions,
all minor triads. Has anyone ever heard that passage? - Kelly

someone said i cannot remeber who -- that -- falling in love wih an interval was something to do to really get a grip on music...
