==== Theoretical frameworks ====

Lambeth has proposed several original theoretical frameworks for understanding and composing microtonal music.
 
===== [[User:BudjarnLambeth/Quasipelog theory|Quasipelog theory]] =====
This is a framework for approaching '''[[16edo]]''' (and other EDOs supporting the '''2.3.5.11 [[mavila]] temperament''', like {{EDOs|EDOS 23, 30, 37, and 39}}). It is inspired by Indonesian [[Gamelan]] theory, the [[Armodue]] school, and [[Erv Wilson]]'s [[MOS]] scales.
 
* '''Concept:''' It focuses on specific scales that mimic the feel of Pelog scales but within a 16-tone equal temperament context.
* '''Scales:''' The theory defines four essential scales derived from Mavila MOS modes:
** '''Quasipelog Minor:''' Mode ''ssLsL'' of mavila[5].
** '''Quasipelog Major:''' Mode ''LssLs'' of mavila[5].
** '''Quasipelog Heptatonic:''' Mode ''ssLssLs'' of mavila[7].
** '''Quasipelog Chromatic:''' A mavila[16] MOS scale (7 fifths up, 8 down).
* '''Timbre:''' A key part of the theory is the avoidance of harmonic timbres. Lambeth recommends "inharmonic" sounds such as metallophones, bells, or "thin/reedy" waveforms (like sine or woodwinds) to complement the tuning.

Lambeth hypothesized this property for equal-step tunings where the '''[[period]]''' of the scale '''differs''' from the interval of '''psychoacoustic [[equivalence]]''' (usually the octave, 2/1).

* '''Examples:''' Equal divisions of sevenths (e.g., ed7/4) or ninths (ed16/9) if the equivalence is the octave.

This concept involves tuning an ensemble (of 2 or more instruments/groups) so that each is tuned to a different '''triad''' or subset of a larger overarching scale.

* '''Example:''' '''[[Shoal17|Shoal[17]]]''', a 17-tone MOS scale in the Shoal temperament (a 2.3.13.23 subgroup detemper of 17edo), is cited as a prime candidate for this approach.

This theory involves replacing a simple, lower harmonic with a complex, higher harmonic that closely approximates it, thereby "fudging" the tuning into a different subgroup.

* '''Sharp Substitutes:''' Replacing a harmonic with a slightly sharper higher harmonic. Lambeth names these temperaments after weapons or with "com"-ending names (e.g., '''Daggerminished''', '''Pajaraxe''', '''Dotcom''', '''Sitcom''', '''Romcom''').
