That's pretty interesting Per and particularly the Apple Logic tuning mode. When I read the initial post of this thread I thought about sounds like in the 'Just' camp which I've done a lot of research in of late through a couple of member musicians in the http://sound-in.org (formerly ImprovFriday) community I'm part of each weekend. Though I don't pretend to know much about Just or microtonal there is a lot of interest here in NY among artists like Johnny Reinhard and Michael Waller, the latter a student and follower of LaMonte Young who is a minimalist movement composer here in NY that I only recently became aware of. I may be 'off' in my thoughts here is this may be nothing of the same though the idea of dropping pitch center to lower hertz sounds like approaches with 'just intonation'. Regardless interesting to me the initial and your informative post.

All those links target videos and if you want to take in information faster, here's a text page for a good introduction: http://the-universal-mind.blogspot.se/2008/11/back-to-432-hz.html This, as most players in the 432 Hz debate, seems to refer to The committee 'Back to 432 Hz', created by Dutch journalist Richard Huisken in 2008: http://www.terugnaar432hz.org I haven't done much so far at 432 - not that I've been aware of - except for a choir music remix when the vocal recording files sent to me turned out to be at 432 Hz. I tuned down my studio to match that but noticed no other effect than my alto flute becoming a bitch to play that low (built for 440). One aspect of producing recordings with Apple Logic, that I'm fond of, is that as long as you stick with Logic's own virtual instruments (and there are more than in any other DAW package) you have instant access to global tuning options. These options not only let you tune down to 432 (or any other pitch you might fancy) but also chose between a couple of hundred micro tonal tunings, called "fixed tunings" in Logic because they needs you to define a tonal center. I'm not always fond of having a tonal center and then my personal favorite for sequencing virtual instruments in Logic is to use Hermode Tuning of the kind that constantly analyzes the arrangement and matches both thirds and fifths for the purest harmony in any musical situation. This means the thirds are not always the same - as in Pythagorian tuning, referred to in those linked videos - but changes depending to what other notes happend to be sounding at any particular moment. This is how often a choir or a string ensemble learn to adapt micro tuning within the performance of a musical piece. I plan try out making an all electronic album project some day in Hermode (3+5 optimization) with the middle A at 432. It must be big chunk of music because if presented on air or any other public media stream it will sound strange as all other music around are at 440 and we tend to remember pitch for several minutes after having heard music. So the playback setting must ensure that the listener is given the time needed to adjust.
