This seemed scandalous to me. I felt like I discovered a great historical secret. I would tell others about this, but they never seemed to care that much. I felt that I needed to try out different tunings. I wanted to play with purely tuned intervals. I also wanted to try scales based on other irrational numbers and find out if this was a valid approach to making interesting music. | This seemed scandalous to me.

My first experiments involved acoustic instruments. I had a little harp that I would tune to just intonation. I experimented with using a slide on a guitar to play microtones. I even made a primitive clarinet like instrument that played septimal intervals like 7/6 and 7/4. | My first experiments involved acoustic instruments.

I eventually got an electronic keyboard that could be retuned. This is when my interest really took off. | I eventually got an electronic keyboard that could be retuned. This is when my interest really took off. | ||

I enjoy just intonation, but have decided that I prefer to focus on equal temperaments, especially ones that contain interesting dissonances. I am working on several projects in 26 tone equal temperament as well as some in 13, 19, 28 and 29 tone equal temperaments. I plan on also doing some experimenting in nonoctave tunings. | I enjoy just intonation, but have decided that I prefer to focus on equal temperaments, especially ones that contain interesting dissonances.
