My family and I live near Hamburg, Germany. I am an engineer and ~~a hobby~~ musician. Years ago I started some private research to find out, why the octave has historically been divided into twelve chunks of more or less the same size ~~– so~~ I entered the field of partials, temperament and dynamic intonation.

I came across [[Bill Sethares]]’s awesome book, ''Tuning, Timbre, Spectrum, Scale (TTSS)''. Regarding my own experiments, certain basic aspects discussed in the book seemed familiar and I was happy to find that I was not completely off track. Today my copy of TTSS has been a true companion for almost two decades.

~~Handling~~ chords built from Overtone Scales has always been one of my favorite playing fields. I utilize [http://nosuch.com/tjt/ Tim Thompson’s] ''KeyKit'' – a ~~light weight and~~ MIDI-centric programming language – for practical exploration. KeyKit realtime code controls the intonation of two electronic instruments I built: A keyboard driven setup and a playing console that extends the concept of a pedalsteel guitar.

My first contribution to this Wiki was an article about [[Just Hammond|just intervals generated by an ancient Hammond Organ]] - you might read it with a wink...

The title of the second Xenwiki page I created is [[Expanding tonal space|''Expanding tonal space'']], an article that describes useful visual arrangements of a set of overtone scales.

If I have used inappropriate terminology somewhere (e.g. mode, tonic, fundamental) or you just like the concept of tonal space please leave a comment.
