Igliashon Jones is the fictitious name of a real musician, which has become his real name through perpetual social reinforcement in the internet communities in which he is involved. The man himself was born in late December of the year 1982, making him 28 years old for all but the final three days of 2011. He has produced several microtonal recordings of various lengths, most notably "Map of an Internal Landscape", "Early Microtonal Works", and the more recent "Open Space". | |||
Primarily a guitar player who has been seduced into electronica, Igliashon heavily favors composing with MOS scales in equal divisions of the octave, and has a particular fondness for subgroup temperaments and most linear temperaments of exceedingly low complexity. He has recorded at least one track in every EDO from 5 to 28, as well as a few in 31. He currently owns several microtonally-fretted guitars in EDOs 16, 17, 19, 20, and 23, and also has a particular fondness for the other EDOs from 11 up to 23 (except for 22, which he explored thoroughly and found profoundly dissatisfying for his own tastes). In the electronic realm, he currently uses Apple Logic 8 (which is natively retunable to 12-note subsets of most of Igliashon's favorite tunings) and Lil' Miss Scale Oven (which helps over come the 12-note limit of Logic), as well as AudioUnit effects by Super Destroy FX to "spice up the mix". | |||
Igliashon has also written a paper on some of the useful properties of EDOs 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30, and is currently working on a mostly math-free "Field Guide" to EDOs 5-24 geared for novice microtonalists. | |||

//What was your path to discovering alternate tunings?// | |||
I am not a trained musician by any stretch of the imagination; I consider myself just a simple self-taught guitar player with slight proficiency on a few other instruments (and pretty solid skills on the drum set). Anything I know about music theory comes from either picking the brains of my classically-trained compadres or digging through wiki articles. My background is primarily rock music, mostly early '90s alternative and contemporary progressive metal; also, I listen to a lot of early synth-pop and dance music, and dabble a bit in most other genres. Not the kind of background one would expect of a microtonalist. | I am not a trained musician by any stretch of the imagination; I consider myself just a simple self-taught guitar player with slight proficiency on a few other instruments (and pretty solid skills on the drum set).

Any of the times that a fellow guitar player first lays eyes on my 22-EDO Stratocaster...the look on their faces is PRICELESS! The best though was my friend Jen, who rather than shock and disgust reacted with amazement, and immediately demanded that I let her play it. She was instantly in love.</pre></div> | Any of the times that a fellow guitar player first lays eyes on my 22-EDO Stratocaster...the look on their faces is PRICELESS!
