Paul, you shnook! At least some of those sound major! Here are my notes
to myself, as I subjected them to a quick listen...

0 - 7/6

2 - 0 with mistuned 5th?
diff. tone 3/2 below root - 3rd of minor triad sounds like 7/4

11 - mistuned 12

12 - two diff. tones = root and 2nd of apparent minor triad
aug. fifth present? major??

3 - mistuned 2
3rd seems to sharpen vs. 2, but doesn't

5 - mistuned 4?
3rd seems to sharpen

8 - 11 limit!

One of the most interesting auptical illusions I've ever heard... major or
minor depending on which way you point your head. I'd swear... well, I
have to go now, but I'd like to learn more, maybe listen a 2nd time with
headphones.

Thanks for listening, and for giving me the web site. Looking forward to a
more readable set of reactions . . .
