I don't see anything to understand; there's a lot of stuff but it's meaningless unless linked to an explanatory text.

Have you tried or are you the author?

From the brief reading I did my impression is that this huge work (800k + pages) is the equivalent to "the theory of everything" in modern physics.

I'm afraid I'd have no time compse music by this or any other method as I tried to digest 1300+ books.

So I'm afraid I must pass on this.

Where, exactly, is the book?

From what I've heard of Quijano's music, the "secessionist method" seems to be simply using two-hand tapping on a piccolo bass to play as many notes as possible, irrespective of anything else happening in the music. I have no idea what this "encyclopedia" could entail...who the f*** writes an 800,000-page book before his/her 30th birthday?

The book is exclusively for sale. Its described as "The discussions in
this 811,173 page, 1,258 book encyclopedia "

So even if it were given away I'd never find time to read it. And from
the description it seems to be a sort of super-serialism and I simply
am not inspired by serialism much.

This chapter looks noteworthy:

Book 781 Harmonic Geodesics: The Major Sixth, Type 61 Binary Interval,
Sub-Permutation 7

It just seems more interesting than Book 780 Harmonic Geodesics: The
Major Sixth, Type 60 Binary Interval, Sub-Permutation 6 and Book 782
Harmonic Geodesics: The Major Sixth, Type 62 Binary Interval,
Sub-Permutation 8.

LOL. I'm tempted to buy the thing just because it seems like the most intentionally-prolix pretentious logorrhea humanly possible...and because I want to know if it really exists, if the dude *actually wrote* over 800,000 pages. I mean, that's like...800 bibles! If I read 100 pages of it per day, every day of the year, it would take me over 20 years to read it. As I can't imagine anyone *writing* 100 pages a day, or even 50, I would assume the author would have to be in his late 80's, and that he would have had to start writing when he was 20. Yet, as you can see here,

http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/musician.php?id=18441

he's quite young, surely no more than my age. That's absurd. I can think of nothing so complex that it would require that much text to describe. So I kinda want to see what's really in it, if it isn't just 800,000 pages of "ha ha, fooled you into spending $35!" repeated over and over.
