Pelog

I have enjoyed this thread for many reasons. Firstly, David Rothenberg was a good friend earlier in my life. His wife, Suhasani, is a fantastic Tamil dancer. David wrote a duo for me called "Inharmonic Configurations" for bassoon and synthesizer using a set out of 31-tET. We performed it and made an archive recording. David also wrote a piece for trumpet and bassoon. David Rothenberg was on the AFMM Board of Directors for a number of years, and we had board meetings at his home. For some years, I worked for David in his capacity as a mathematician/businessman. He had determined a mathematical software to advise corporations on risk investments. We have not been in contact for years now.

re Pelog vs. Slendro
Since there are different variants for each and one must speak in most general terms,
Pelog is formed from a set of intervals, such that there are skips and steps. Slendro is a set of relative steps.

Do you know biographical details such as when and where he was born,
by any chance?
