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 parabolic wave, which is misnamed as “semisine” in ScaleWorkshop), but vise versa for real instrument samples.

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
