The author of XenNote, a game mod for playing xenharmonic music in Minecraft.

I am more a theorist than a musician. My motivation of studying xen is acturally due to my interest in math.

When acturally work with xen music, I only use softwares, since I cannot play any instruments well — even 12edo ones. When working with different timbres, I feel that consonance and dissonance differs. Complex JI intervals (e.g. 81/64) are more consonant than tempered simple intervals (e.g. a meantone fifth) for synthetic waves (specifically the semisine wave in Scale Workshop), but vise versa for real instrument samples.

Personal terminology definitions

  • Microtonal: music using finer-than-12edo tunings (non-12edo meantone tuning included)
  • Xenharmonic: music that cannot be interpreted as 5-limit 12et without severe damage (12edo music using 17 or 19 included, most 5-limit meantone music excluded)

Interval naming (thirds as an example)

septimal minor 7/6
(diatonic) minor 32/27
classical minor 6/5
neutral sqrt(3/2)
classical major 5/4
(diatonic) major 81/64
septimal major 9/7
