{{subpage|sandbox|text=Hi!}} I'm primarily a music theorist and singer nowadays, though most of my musical training is in classical piano and cello. | |||

I've also been told I have "perfect pitch" since I acquired the ability to recognise notes (in A = 440 Hz and 12edo) from a young age, though I have grown increasingly disdainful towards the terms "perfect pitch" and "absolute pitch" since late 2022 (the start of my last term of college) since it locked me into 12edo with A = 440 Hz and anything else sounded "wrong" to me. This is even more true nowadays since I now prefer other tunings over 12edo in a lot of cases. | I've also been told I have "perfect pitch" since I acquired the ability to recognise notes (in A = 440 Hz and 12edo) from a young age, though I have grown increasingly disdainful towards the terms "perfect pitch" and "absolute pitch" since late 2022 (the start of my last term of college) since it locked me into 12edo with A = 440 Hz and anything else sounded "wrong" to me.

Most Western musicians only know 12edo, and my musical background is mainly classical, so my main interests have been in Pythagorean and meantone. I'm quite active in church despite being non-religious, and most of the alternative tunings I introduce to others are flatter-than-12 meantones as they're relatively easy to get into. | Most Western musicians only know 12edo, and my musical background is mainly classical, so my main interests have been in Pythagorean and meantone.

This was followed by [[19edo]], after hearing ''Sunsrise'' by Supahstar Saga. 19 has its unique quirks that make it a good tuning for a lot of Western music, though I think its sound is best suited to songs with largely pentatonic melodies since the diatonic scale sounds quite loose to me. Augmented and diminished chords sound very weird, though, even more jarring than 31. | This was followed by [[19edo]], after hearing ''Sunsrise'' by Supahstar Saga. 19 has its unique quirks that make it a good tuning for a lot of Western music, though I think its sound is best suited to songs with largely pentatonic melodies since the diatonic scale sounds quite loose to me.

For xenharmony and music beyond meantone, I've been mainly interested in [[22edo]] and [[27edo]] to explore [[Superpyth]] and [[Sensi]]. | For xenharmony and music beyond meantone, I've been mainly interested in [[22edo]] and [[27edo]] to explore [[Superpyth]] and [[Sensi]]. | ||
