I programmed a microtonal synth application for PC in 1998. After that, I spent nearly a decade trying to track down a microtonal guitar before I found Jon Catler around 2004. Since then, I've collected two more microtonal guitars as well as two basses.

I love talking about music in general, so send me a message if you're bored.

I have a list of all scales in 19-EDO. I have yet to find a use for the list, but it's in a spreadsheet organized into several tabs (each tab with a different number of tones per octave). Please contact me if you have any use for such a thing. I did one for 12-EDO long ago, and doing one in 19-EDO seemed like a good idea at the time. Obviously there is a lot more data in the 19-EDO list. The 12-EDO scale list is easy enough to categorize into scale "families" as I called them, scales that have modal relationships with one another (for example all of the church modes), and scales that have similar tonal characteristics (for example scales that have a minor third, diminished fifth, and diminished seventh). But in 19-EDO, there is just too much to sift through using the same rationale.

Anyway, there is a pretty strong case for 31-edo and 19-edo in a western tradition- or bringing back various well temperaments or various forms of just intonation. There are reasons to look into more exotic tunings for more exotic applications. I really feel strongly about 19-edo, since it is so easy to use and generally sounds just as good as 12-edo in many contexts.

I am currently working on the following:

Hoping to get a 19-edo funk-rock project going

Various 19-edo covers of 12-edo songs

Microrhythms.

[[Bozuji tuning]]

AI drumming

DIY PVC flutes in various tunings.

DIY RasPi hardware synth
