What was your path to discovering alternate tunings?

'''What was your path to discovering alternate tunings?'''

I found microtuning while delving into the harmonic series, and I developed a particular fascination with the eleventh harmonic. So much so, that in 2014, I wrote the first version of my first microtonal piece in 24edo, "Folly of a Drunk", under the working title "Folly". Notably, the first version of this piece featured a modulation from a microtonality-enhanced version of key of A- alternating between Major and Minor- to a microtonality-enhanced version of the key of G-Demisharp Minor, all by use of chords built on 24edo's versions of both the eleventh harmonic and the eleventh subharmonic.

What are your current/past/future particular interests?

'''What are your current/past/future particular interests?'''

My main interests in the area of xenharmonic music at present are focused on compositions involving both more harmonically pure versions of the thirty-five 12-EDO proper heptatonic modes, and working with the 7-prime-limit and 11-prime-limit harmonies, though I'm not above messing with 13-prime-limit, 17-prime-limit and even 19-prime-limit harmonies. In the future, I'd like to take what I've learned and use it to further develop Treble-Down music- who says Bass-Up is the only direction to build chords and harmonies and melodies?

In addition, I've since taken a shine to [[159edo]], and have worked on that particular page here rather extensively for a page on a mega-edo.

What instruments or means have you had/do you have now/do you want for the making of microtonal music?

So far, all I have is the composition software itself, but it would be great to have advanced synthesizers, vocals, and even instruments in the [https://nvfa.org/8tet.html The New Violin Family] available for performance. The only problem? Money... Go figure...

'''Any good microtonal anecdotes?'''

Naming my first comma, the [[quartisma]], on September 6th, 2020. This is something I remember rather fondly- especially since prior to me finding it and naming it, it was only mentioned on [[3125edo|one page]] on this wiki. Of course, in the months since then, I named like four other other commas- the [[nexuma|nexus comma]], the [[Alpharabian comma]], the [[Betarabian comma]], and the [[symbiosma|symbiotic comma]]- I have to admit it's fun coming up with comma names, and to think there's so many of them yet to be named that it would make your head spin...
