Toward the end of his life, Ivor Darreg coined yet another term -- **"metachromatic."** //Meta// means "above" or "beyond," while //chromatic// refers to the individual step of our musical scale. Some objection has been raised to this neologism as "excessively high-flown" and "too Greekified," but it has the distinct advantage of conveying the sense that the tuning sounds suitably different from conventional 12-equal without being specific on whether the scale-steps are smaller or larger than those in conventional Western music. | Toward the end of his life, Ivor Darreg coined yet another term -- **"metachromatic."** //Meta// means "above" or "beyond," while //chromatic// refers to the individual step of our musical scale.

Yet another term is **"ekmelic"** - this one is used by the [[http://www.ekmelic-music.org/|International Ekmelic Music Society]] in Austria. The term comes from the Greek music theory: "ek Melos" is translated "out of range" - that is what pitches that were not included in the ancient Greek sound system were called. In the same meaning, the term can be used today for music that contains sounds that are outside of our traditional, 12-tone equal tempered system.</pre></div> | |||
