"I'm interested in tuning theory just as an area of study, but to me it
is also the inspiration and driving force behind what I compose. I
often get ideas by thinking about how to compose something in a
particular tuning, with its peculiar characteristics. The ocean of
tuning possibilities is immense, and being a Capitan Cook on the sea of
tuning allows me to cease worrying about being original and concentrate
on being as good as I can contrive."

Gene, I just wanted to say that was a most eloquent telling of your
motivations, and really captures an adventurous spirit. May the wind
be at your back...

Cheers,
Jon
