WOW! Talk about thinking outside of the box! That is a really, really
inovative approach - great catch on that one.

Cheers,

It doesn't explain how to make more than one note at a time, sadly.

I was hoping for Einstein here; Lorentz boosts applied to music.

The original Samchillian did have a polyphonic mode (modes?)
IIRC, but it wasn't it's main cup. But there is software
available from Leon that'll turn your QWERTY into a SAMMY.

When he mentioned relativity? I'm familiar with Lorentz
transforms but not boosts. How would they apply to music?

A Lorentz boost is just physicist speak for a Lorentz transformation
involving velocity only. As for applications to music, I doubt there
are any, though I've pondered the issue of whether Lorentzian lattices
could be useful. If I ponder some more and decide they might, I'll
talk about it on tuning-math.

My father can assist you there should you need a boost.
