'''Deja Igliashon'''<ref>[https://cryptic-ruse.bandcamp.com/ Music | Cryptic Ruse]</ref>, formerly known as '''Igliashon Jones'''<ref>[https://ghostfishbrewing.com/2014/01/03/interview-with-a-founder-igliashon-jones/ "Interview with a founder: Igliashon Jones" on Ghostfish Brewing Company]</ref>, is a guitarist and composer living in Portland, Oregon. Born in 1982 in San Mateo, California, they have been studying microtonality since 2003. They have released numerous albums of microtonal music in a wide variety of tunings, under several aliases, mostly equal divisions of the octave. They have been an active (if controversial) participant in the online xenharmonic community for many years, dating back to the Alternate Tunings Yahoo group (aka "the Tuning List"). They ~~currently play guitar in~~ the ~~17edo~~ progressive rock band The Mercury Tree.

== Approach to xenharmonics ==

While Igliashon favors equal divisions of the octave, they are an enthusiast of all forms of microtonal theory, including [[regular temperament theory]] and [[just intonation]]. They subscribe to the belief that there is no single best tuning or approach to tuning, and encourages collaboration between those with diverse views and backgrounds. Igliashon is primarily a guitar player who dabbles in composition for electronic media. They currently own guitars in [[13edo]], [[14edo]], [[15edo]], [[17edo]], [[21edo]], and [[23edo]]. They have owned guitars in [[16edo]], [[18edo]], [[19edo]], [[20edo]], [[22edo]], and [[31edo]] in the past, and ~~has~~ recorded and released music using each and every one.

As a theorist, Igliashon's main area of interest has been on [[JI subgroup]]s of the [[17-limit]], and temperaments thereof, as applied to equal divisions of the octave below 24edo. Their research has focused especially on EDOs normally considered to be too dissonant to be useful for harmonic music, such as [[8edo]], [[10edo]], 13edo, and 23edo. By applying the principles of regularly-tempered subgroup harmony, Igliashon has found consonant triads, tetrads, and pentads in all of the EDOs below 24, and has contributed much to the wiki articles on those tunings.
