I generally go by "Ganaram" or some variant of that (ganaram_inukshuk, gdinuk). (Discord: Ganaram Inukshuk#1325)

I've heard about microtonality on and off over the years, but what drew me into the topic was two things: HEHEHE I AM A SUPAHSTAR SAGA's video series on 19edo and Patricia Taxxon's song Spiral Staircase.

From a compositional perspective, my goal is to incorporate xenharmonic elements into an otherwise normal-sounding song, though my more ambitious goal is to not use the diatonic (LLLsLLs) scale structure at all.

From a theory perspective, my goal is to better understand xenharmony from a temperament-agnostic perspective. This primarily means edos and MOSses, but extends to MV3 scales and higher.

TO-DO List and Contributions

  • MOS recursion and MOS recursion algorithms; tried my best to make the descriptions for MOS recursion apply to all cases (Work-in-progress)
  • A page for horograms, since it was totally absent (Work-in-progress)
  • Finding and sorting the modes of an MV2/MOS by modal brightness (see subpages section below)
  • Constructing a circle of generating intervals for any MOS supported by a specific edo
  • Constructing key signatures for any MOS
  • Composing music with these abstract ideas

Subpages

These pages contain content that currently don't have an exact place elsewhere on the Wiki, or contains personal notes that otherwise don't have an exact place on the Wiki. I do my best to explain these things as though I magically forgot everything I know about xenharmony, so I consider it a bonus if someone else found this easy to understand.

These pages are descriptions on how I approach various things, such as compositional techniques and how I approach a scale I've never used before.
