My main drive in music is '''expanding tonality''' with 13-limit JI: at the very least in the ya or yaza, and at the very most in the 29-limit. My favorite subgroup is the [[13-limit|yazalatha]], with possible 19 added into the mix. See [[User:Eufalesio/Harmonic tiers|Harmonic tiers]] for my analysis of primes. My favorite edo for most purposes is [[94edo]]. I don't use it to its entirety, but rather only for its cassandra yazalatha(na). It's so good, so easy to work with, and very decent. Worse ya, but I can swallow it. | My main drive in music is '''expanding tonality''' with 13-limit JI: at the very least in the ya or yaza, and at the very most in the 29-limit.

The biggest EDOs I compose in is [[270edo]], since it offers an unbeatably good [[2.3.5.7.11.13.19 subgroup|yazalathana]]. I will not use EDOs any higher than 270edo because it's already a god-tier EDO, any higher and the step size is way too narrow to be faithfully percieved.

See [[User:Eufalesio/Good scales|here]] to know the scales I'm fond of. I'll let you know, I'm a fairly classical man. My approach to these JI scales is with 53edo, 94edo or 270edo, or fudging when unavailable. | |||

Supporter and user of [[color notation]], admirer of [[sagittal]]. Interested in naming stuff and knowing what we're talking about with some semblance of certainty. In terms of compositional theory, I believe that the best approach to music is to follow the harmonic series as closely as possible, using low complexity otonality, harmonic segments melodically, and 13-limit expanded tonality, with | Supporter and user of [[color notation]], admirer of [[sagittal]].

In terms of compositional theory, I believe that the best approach to music is to follow the harmonic series as closely as possible, using low complexity otonality, harmonic segments melodically, and 13-limit expanded tonality, with sparse and irregular additions of primes 19 and ''possibly'' 17. And ''possssibly'' the slightest tinge of 29. | ||
I don't care about essential tempering, VAOs, MOSes beyond the theoretical, or structural exploiting of edos and their symmetries barring easier navigation. JI is the journey, and temperaments are my boat. The rest is either a gift, or chaff. | I don't care about essential tempering whatevers, VAOs, MOSes beyond the theoretical, or structural exploiting of edos and their symmetries barring easier navigation.

Ultimately I care more about praxis than about theory. My theory of theory being that it should be as descriptive, simple and intuitive as possible or be ultimately derived from praxis entirely; all the thinking power should go to the actual music making. Theories are still important because the mental framework that one uses to make music, changes, and learning about new ways to look at the same concepts is an important skill as an artist and as a human generally, I'd say. | Ultimately I care more about praxis than about theory.

'''I stopped doing tuning theory''', essentially having thoroughly researched [[User:Eufalesio/Ultimate|one temperament sequence ( | '''I stopped doing tuning theory''', essentially having thoroughly researched [[User:Eufalesio/Ultimate|one temperament sequence (12e)]], which allows me to meet all my goals and expand tonality exactly the way I want. By having a dead-accurate 13-limit. This system dances at the bleeding edge of JI, edos, temperaments and practicality, but I won't spoil you the fun. | ||
