Ivor Darreg

Ivor Darreg (May 5, 1917 – February 12, 1994) was a leading composer, instrument builder and theorist. He made microtonal music from 1936^[1] or 1937^[2] until his death in 1994.

English Wikipedia has an article on:

Ivor Darreg

Around 1967, he coined the term xenharmonic^[3].

He was the Johnny Appleseed of xen; he personally guided many people, and networked with cassette tapes before World Wide Web. The informal meetings he held with Glen Prior starting around 1958 later evolved into the Xenharmonic Alliance^[4].

Johnny Reinhard has about 90 cassette tapes of Ivor given to Johnny by Ivor, with the instructions to get it out to the world. Johnny will be rolling these out in the coming years.
