Did you talk to Lou Harrison? How is he doing? This may indeed be the "first microtonal conference," though there was an annual instrument builders' conference at UCSD in the late '70s. Many microtonalists participated, including a number of Harry Patch colleagues and disciples. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com http://www.cybmotion.com/aliaszone http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi?autostart=rz
