I am surprised at you, unless you are merely running a polemic for maximum
response.

You are not using musical math in your philosophical assertion.

From a musical perspective it is all too clear that an interval of the unison
must be represented among all the other intervals. Everytime someone is
asked to match pitch, it reflects "time and space" which you established.

Timbre is all about pitch and each time there is a theoretical 0 distance
between the pitch frequencies of the fundamentals of 2 musical tones, there are
differences between them. These include, but are not limited to distance from
the generating musical tone, degree of vibrato, producer of the tone (brass,
string, etc.)

I can understand Neil's exasperation, but I have long ago realized some on
the List are not composers. For me it is a stretch in the opposite direction,
towards math. Ozan, you are not following musical math, only theoretical math.
There are no perfect circles and squares in nature.

I beg to differ. Please don't blame this one on theoretical math.

Truly, I shall not discuss this matter anymore Johnny. It appears that our grasp of music theory differs.

Suffice it to say, I never heard of a nuance or timbral divergence impair the ideal definition for a phenomenon like unison.

To you your view, to me mine.

Exasperatingly,
Oz.
