The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.
Original Wikitext content:
The Seventeen-Tone Piano Project involves tuning two acoustic pianos in seventeen equal tones per octave and then playing music on them. Two pianos, located at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music (Houston, Texas), are tuned to 17-EDO. Why? How? I'm a student there, and they're very nice. The music made so far has included some pieces and improvisations by Rice composers, some of which were featured on a concert on April 29 2006. Some recordings from a later session are available [[http://www.archive.org/details/seventeenTPP_01|over here]]. The current phase of the 17-tPP consists of a **CALL FOR SCORES.** This means you (perhaps)! If you have written or would like to write a piece for 17-tone pianos, now is your chance!
