Original Wikitext content:
Lou Harrison invented this term from a technique he applied first in the middle section of his piece "At The Tomb of Charles Ives"; Instead of working with a set of fixed pitches, his concept was instead to use a set of fixed intervals regardless where this lead one. David Doty realized a midi version of a Symphony in Free Style That Mr. Harrison wrote. In adding freedom you may be sacrificing a 'safety' of familiarity, tonality, simplicity of materials, etc. It is a dangerous and rewarding world out there. Toby Twining's //Chrysalid Requiem// makes local use of subharmonic, harmonic, 3s-and-7s, and other subsets of JI; however its large-scale modulations wander far and never return precisely to the 1/1 begun with. Chuckk Hubbard's [[http://www.badmuthahubbard.com/jisequencer.html|No-scale JI Sequencer]] is offered as a tool, with which Chuckk himself composed //Big Giant Worms// in 2006. Two pitch calculators which could also be helpful: [[http://jjicalc.sourceforge.net/|JJICalc]] and jim altieri's [[http://tweeg.net/software.html|interval calculator]].
