I learned of the Arabic Maqamat several years ago when I was studying non-Western music traditions, and I was especially intrigued by the presence of the neutral intervals in Jins Rast and other scales. This kickstarted a weird rabbit hole where I learned about the harmonic series, Just Intonation, and various Equal Divisions of the [your name here].

I've also used my user space as a place to document the music theory associated with several of my worldbuilding projects:
* The [[User:Unque/Córduan Gense Theory|"Gense" traditions]], which use 17-EDO pentachords
* The [[User:Unque/22-TET Plagal Theory|"Plagal" traditions]], which use 22-EDO MOS scales
Just like the theory pages, these worldbuilding pages are not intended to enter the main wiki space, for obvious reasons.
