| it was in the 80's. I was an international student (from Italy) at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA studying music synthesis. I heard about Wendy Carlos and her "//Beauty in the Beast//" I was (and still are) very impressed by that album. I bought "//Tuning In: Microtonality in Electronic Music: A Basic Guide to Using Alternate Scales. Temperaments and Microtuning using Synthesizers//" by Scott Wilkinson and tried to apply what I was learning retuning a couple of Yamaha synths I had: TX81Z and TX802 but trying to retune each and every note of the 128 midi pitches by hand was way too much for me and gave up, plus, I wasn't ready and my interest remained dormant for almost 20 years until I started thinking about what could be the subject of a dissertation for my master's degree in music and new technology at the Conservatory of Music in Florence, Italy.

| | : After much thinking I came up with this title “''Technology and Temperament: Hardware, Software and Online Resources for Microtonal Music''” and started gathering informations (you can find it [http://www.seraph.it/blog_files/e5d36b2e021967c47d0e5a25155bb4be-125.html here]). |

| During the researches for my dissertation I stumbled upon a great piece of software: LMSO by X.J. Scott http://www.nonoctave.com/tuning/LilMissScaleOven/ | | ; What instruments or means have you had/do you have now/do you want for the making of microtonal music? |
| I bought it and with Scott's help I started experimenting. A new world opened up! Intervals I had never thought possible unfolded in front of me. All kinds of scales, exotic, weird, beautiful, ugly ones appeared. In the meantime I have read and studied many books, among them: "//The Just Intonation Primer//" by David Doty "//On the Sensations of Tone//" by Hermann Helmholtz and Alexander Ellis and "//Genesis of a Music//" by Harry Partch and searched everything I could find on the internet.
