Exotemperament: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

An '''exotemperament''' or '''macrotemperament''' is a very inaccurate [[regular temperament]], or in other words, one which [[tempering out|tempers out]] an interval that is very large and low-[[complexity]] or otherwise equates wildly different intervals.

Notable examples of exotemperaments are [[father]] (tempers out [[16/15]], ≈111.7{{c}}), [[trienstonic clan|trienstonian]] (tempers out [[28/27]], ≈63.0{{c}}), and [[dicot family|dicot]] (tempers out [[25/24]], ≈70.7{{c}}). Depending on both who you ask and the specific tunings, timbres and chords used, others such as [[mint temperaments|mint]] (tempers out ([[6/5]])/([[7/6]]) = [[36/35]], ≈48.8{{c}}) ~~and~~ [[semaphore]] (tempers out ([[7/6]])/([[8/7]]) = [[49/48]], ≈35.7{{c}}) could also be considered exotemperaments within their respective limits or subgroups.

To get one's head around music in exotemperaments, one needs to be less critical about what they hear and turn their attention to rough melodic and impressionistic categories instead.
