My first book (in Turkish alas)

Dear members, take note please!

My first publication, titled (in Turkish): "New Horizons in Our Pitch
Universe - From The Dimension of Theory and Technique" is now in print.

This book contains my tuning and theory related endeavours on the
maqam tradition spanning the last 10 years of my academic career and
comprises critiques against my "local rivals" in the field.

Therein is included three tone-systems (79 MOS 159-tET, Yarman-24 and
Yarman-36) to explain the subtle nuances of pitch in Turkish Maqam
music at three different levels of discreteness. This is the
Analytical section.

Therein is also included three critiques against first: a Professor
who claims that one need not hear two pitches together to perceive
beats, second: a famous Maqam music composer whose rather coarse
language and agenda gives away his over-nationalistic sentiments,
third: an overbearing Jazz musician who took it a fancy to peddle 48-
tone Equal Temperament as a great innovation for Turkish Maqam music
in all due theoretical incompetence. This is the Critique section.

I had much joy and fun when the paperback arrived in my hands. I would
like to share this moment of pride with my colleagues on the lists.

Cordially,
Dr. Oz.

In honor of the occasion, I present the following circulating temperament:

This is pretty ruthless, I'm afraid, with a 9/7 major third and another sharp of 14/11. Probably George could do better; it could certainly be done differently as there are a lot of ways to cook something like this up. Anyway, y'all can have fun making Mozart's Turkish music into Turkish music by retuning it.

Nice. But too many super-pyth fifths there. Besides, 159-equal is not
my invention. My contribution is finding the 79-tone subset that
happens to be a MOS suitable for maqamat.

How about this one?

Pretty good, but of course identical to what you gave a few years ago when you were working this stuff out.

That is a cool cover!

And thanks for the explanation on the beating. Sound like a confused
perception. But perhaps that professor has ringing in his ears and
notes beat against that. It may sound silly but actually that happens
to my wife.

There are also some rational approximations near to yours Cent-values:

C 0: 1/1
# 1: 2^(91.689/1200) = ~1.054389... > (19/18) ~91.1386239...C
D 2: 2^(196.552/1200) = ~1.120228... > (28/25) ~196.198479...C
# 3: 2^(302.375/1200) = ~1.190839... > (25/21) ~301.846520...C
E 4: 2^(392.909/1200) = ~1.254771... > (64/51) ~393.089593...C
F 5: 4/3
# 6: 2^(589.342/1200) = ~1.405533... < (45/32) ~590.22371...C
G 7: 3/2
# 8: 2^(792.077/1200) = ~1.580152... < (128/81) ~792.17999...C
A 9: 2^(897.524/1200) = ~1.679389... < (42/25) ~898.15348...C
# 10: 2^(1003.508/1200) = ~1.785411... > (25/14) ~1003.8015...C

c 12: 2/1

Attend:
Each pitch deviates less than only 1 Cent depart from the original.

That Approximation yields in terms of the 'scala' file format:

!OzYarmanApprox.scl
Ozan Yarman's 79-MOS-159ET splendid-beating rat. approx. by Sparschuh

All of these ratios - save 19/18 and 47/25 - appear in my doctorate
dissertation (pp. 95-6) as viable approximations to the 79 MOS 2 deg
159-EDO degrees, Andreas. :)

But, you have miscalculated the cents for 19/18. It should have been
93.60301440152743 cents, not 91.1386239.

I would suggest, instead of the absent ratios above, 135/128 and
32/17. Any simpler ratio for the limma tends to fall away from the
intended 91.7 cents.

Cordially,
Oz.

Congratulations Ozan!

It's wonderful you have a book in print. Now to get it translated into English, don't you think? There must be some way you could apply for EU funds to get it issued in English or German (a very large section of those who'd be interested would very likely read both languages).

I played around a bit with the Bohlen-Pierce scale. Unfortunately (even with a Clarinet as a very odd-numbered timbre), I noticed a few of even the 3:5:7 triads did not sound so good and many other chords I tried simply sounded very tense.

Do any of your have any good BP tutorial links (maybe my mind is just confused and gravitating to the wrong chords?) and/or notice some problems with how BP works with regards to non-triadic chords?

Tutorials in BP

I suggest you go to xenharmonic allience and watch the videos of Elaine Walker performing BP music with triads, melody and all in excellent pop music. One should be able to pick up some if not all of it by ear.

Depends on what you call triadic. What do you say to this example?

Still sounds odd "even" with the well-chosen timbre. For example, the 4th and 6th notes seem "off"...perhaps even just on the basis of root tone (IE disregarding any overtone matching). And I'd say 70% of the chords sound off...and I have faith you are picking "theoretically sound" chords. Maybe it's just me but I get this odd feeling BP, while based on a good idea (matching exclusively odd harmonics)...isn't all it's cracked up to be.
It really makes me wonder should the factors 3,5,7,9,11 have been used instead of "just" 3,5,7.

Using 3/5/7/9/11 and mirrors I get the following possible intervals (a lot of which are from BP...but many which are not)
Note INV = inverse AKA mirror around 3/1.

1/1
11/9 = 1.22222
9/7 = 1.2857 (INV of 2.3333333 AKA 3/2.33333)
15/11 = 1.3636363 (INV of 2.2)
7/5 = 1.4
11/7 = 1.571428
5/3 = 1.66666666666666 (INV of 1.8)
9/5 = 1.8
22/11 = 1.9090909 (INV of 1.571428)
15/7 = 2.142857 (INV of 1.4)
11/5 = 2.2
7/3 = 2.3333333333
22/11 = 2.454545 (INV of 1.222222)
3/1

...which I figure would make creating a BP-style scale a process of picking any of these as roots and seeing how many dyads can be formed which match or near-match ratios from the above list.

Eh, my connection lapsed as I was writing to you, back again via PM tomorrow on this, good night all!
