There are potentially many ways in which an EDO can be viewed without any reference to JI, or at least without the specific RTT framework of "linear map from JI subgroup" | There are potentially many ways in which an EDO can be viewed without any reference to JI, or at least without the specific RTT framework of "linear map from JI subgroup". | ||
Ivor Darreg is probably the first composer and writer to discuss EDOs without any explicit reference to their proximity to JI. Easley Blackwood (in his microtonal work) seems to have ignored or been otherwise ignorant of Just Intonation and its relationship to EDOs, instead focusing on the "recognizably diatonic" properties held by each EDO he worked with. Various other microtonal composers have, in recent years, produced compositions in various EDOs without making any conscious musical references to JI, but the question may still be asked: what is gained in this approach, that is not present in the ET paradigm? | Ivor Darreg is probably the first composer and writer to discuss EDOs without any explicit reference to their proximity to JI.
