The hope is that there might be subtle harmonies and consonances involving ethereal harmonics that can allow for novel new sounds to be discovered, if we give them the space to show themselves.

The reason for the name is that when music producers or listeners use an equalizer, they often turn down the middle pitches, while boosting the low and high end, which is visually (not ready audibly) similar to an equalizer subgroup.

(These are very much not the same thing though, don’t read too deep into the analogy.)


The sections of this article will showcase temperaments and scales from different equalizer subgroups. Feel free to add more.
