	Just Intonation has irreversibly the way I hear music, and it has made my career inside my conservatory quite jarring; Classical repertoire (barring historicist interpretations) and the overwhelming majority of the ''contemporary classical'' music I was forced to listen, were wholly based in 12EDO, with 24EDO being the "utter maximum" of pitch deviation tolerable in these styles. Even 12edo was "too much" for some singers and players, who just barely hit the notes or had outrageously wide vibrato that made it impossible to tell what the note was in the first place.

	== My view on microtonality ==		== My view on microtonality ==
	I don't ''hate'' 12EDO, the so called "equal temperament", its fifths are incredibly precise for its small size, and I've come to the conclusion that it is ~~a very practical~~ temperament ~~for 3-limit music~~. Its place in modern day music is well earned, but I think that most people don't take full advantage of 12EDO, for example, its 17 and 19 harmonics, which are very well tuned.		I don't ''hate'' 12EDO, the so called "equal temperament", its fifths are incredibly precise for its small size, and I've come to the conclusion that it is the best temperament around its size. Its place in modern day music is well earned, but I think that most people don't take full advantage of 12EDO, for example, its 17 and 19 harmonics, which are very well tuned.

			My pet peeve with 12EDO is that while it is the lowest EDO which ''can'' reliably be used for 5-limit (7-limit not too good...), I've grown to hear its approximations of them as a tad crude. Yes, it's a paragon, but it's the absolute bare minimum. It is however, the first step towards approximating JI, and can be extended to achieve much, much higher precision.

			Edos and temperaments serve a practical purpose, achieving maximum JI accuracy whilst offering minimum complexity, ease of conceptualization, and practicality. The main reason to use edos over a temperament is that your gamut of pitches is equal and finite. Without equal tunings, you have MOS scales, or not even that.

	My pet peeve with 12EDO is that while it is the lowest EDO which ''can'' reliably be used for 5-limit (NOT 7-limit), I've grown to hear its approximations of them as a tad crude. Yes, it's a god-tier edo, but it's the absolute bare minimum.		––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

	I don't generally do microtonality; that is, directly using very small steps melodically or harmonically. No. I find that yucky. I do xenharmony, however. Easy JI xenharmony.

			I don't care about essential tempering, VAOs, MOSes beyond the theoretical, or structural exploiting of edos and their symmetries barring easier navigation. JI is the journey, and temperaments are my boat. The rest is either a gift, or chaff.

			I do not believe that the harmonic series and the subharmonic series are mirror versions of each other; for these reasons:

			* In any real musical context their functions are vastly different, despite being mirrored in logarithmic pitch space.
			* Harmonics '''play''' '''inside''' harmony, subharmonics '''define''' harmony.
			* Melodically, subharmonics are incredibly potent, but for different reasons than harmonics.

Theories are still important because the mental framework that one uses to make music, changes, and learning about new ways to look at the same concepts is an important skill as an artist and as a human generally, I'd say.

JI is the journey, and temperaments are my boat.~~		Fan of [[color notation]] and [[sagittal]]. Interested in naming stuff and knowing what we're talking about with some semblance of certainty. In terms of compositional theory, I believe that the best approach to music is to follow the harmonic series as closely as possible, using low complexity otonality, harmonic segments melodically, and 13-limit expanded tonality, with '''very''' sparse and irregular additions of primes 19 and ''possibly'' 17.

	I do not believe that the harmonic series and the subharmonic series are mirror versions of each other. They are only in pitch space, but in any real musical context, their functions are vastly different. Harmonics play inside harmony, subharmonics define harmony. Since subharmonics define harmony, concatenating many subharmonics leads to ~~an extremely numerically complex~~ chord with ~~a huge denominator~~. Bad. Melodically, subharmonics are incredibly potent, but for different reasons than harmonics.		I don't care about essential tempering, VAOs, MOSes beyond the theoretical, or structural exploiting of edos and their symmetries barring easier navigation.

	Ultimately I care more about praxis than about theory, my theory of theory being that it should be as descriptive, simple and intuitive as possible or be ultimately derived from praxis entirely, and all the thinking power should go to the actual music making. Theories are still important because the mental framework with which one makes music can, and does change, and learning about new ways to look at the same concepts is an important skill as an artist, I'd say.
