Please get in touch and be a TRUE innovator. > Jeff Collins > collinsclan@sprintmail.com I've had some exposure through the UCSD music department (Partch, etc.), and a tiny bit from a San Diego group promoting microtonal music that had some ties to Ivor Darreg, who crusaded for temperaments that are _not_ based on multiples of 12 (19-tone, 21-tone, etc.). Actually I think the majority of my exposure to microtonality is through music forms from around the world (Arabic, Indian, Indonesian, etc.). I like the idea of exploring alternate temperaments and am always interested in hearing them. However, I also happen to like modern forms like bebop and cleverly written pop music which would not have been possible without equal temperament. I enjoy listening to the key modulations and such made possible by equal temperament. Alternate temperaments (not counting just intonation, of course, because just about every musician who does not play a keyboard or fretted instrument actually plays in just intonation, if I'm not mistaken) work best with music where there aren't a lot of key changes.
